[Alec]

Aaron tipped me to this, along with his road-trip. Count me in Dave, your meet ups are the best!

[BER]

Yeah, March 6th sounds good!

...and a word from my friend John: Excellent! Count me in!

[PC Engine Fan X!]

It'd be better if your shmupmeet was hosted on a Saturday instead of on a Sunday. Please do consider it, Dave K.

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~

[antron]

that weekend is open for me, count me in.

[AKRATEN]

Awesome
Count me in Dave,
March 6th would be awesome , it gives me a weekend day to travel.
I have a few friends from the Midwest coming out that want to go as well.

Road Trip !

[Frenetic]

Hey Dave_K.,

Just wanted to chime in that Sunday March 6 would work out best for our So Cal crew, just like last time we came up! Looking forward to making the road trip and seeing all of you again!

Cheers,
F

[Dave_K.]

Looking great so far! Can someone PM me the list of folks coming from LA? I'm updating the first post with everyone attending.

[Kiselgof]

Hey Dave,

Sounds great, Ironish and I will be there as usual!

Thx

Mikhail

[AKRATEN]

Great ,
Pm sent Dave!

[danox574]

I'm the +1 on Kraten

[louisg]

Word. Antron, is there going to be Genesis JAMMA action? I got Atomic Runner semi-recently, if anybody wants to try it. It's actually an improvement over the arcade version.

[bitkid]

Bernard told me about this one coming up. I'd really like to go. Count me in this time please Dave.

Yeah, let's do it this time. I have a gen/ms flash cart now so everyone send me your obscure game requests.

[AKRATEN]

awesome!

[Kiselgof]

Trouble Shooter 2/Battle Mania 2. Chicks with rocketpacks

[antron]

That's the spirit. I'm thinking twinkle tale and power strike ii for master system.

The cart features ms fm sound if anyone cares to hear something.

oh man thats awesome I cant wait to see this thing in action.

I have never heard power strike II with the fm sound on.

[antron]

I don't think power strike 2 uses it, but 1 does.

[AKRATEN]

good to know.

[Dave_K.]

Eliminate Down!

[robivy64]

Dave, one of these days i'll have to make it out there.

If anything, to play some of my old boards.

[dunpeal2064]

Eliminate Down!

I'd love to try this out!

Are there any consoles or games that I could bring to help entertain? I only have console shmups, but I have quite a few.

Also was wondering if people will be bringing trades? I wouldn't mind bringing some extra stuff along, but didn't wanna drag it out there for no reason

Haha! Definitely let me know if you are ever in the area Rob!

Some people have brought consoles before, but they didn't get a lot of play, and I don't have a good setup for it (only a 14" coax TV ). So maybe not worth it. But feel free to post in this thread a list of things you'd offer for trade/sell at the meet to gauge interest.

[bitkid]

I don't suppose there's any use for me to bring my DFK 1.5 PCB? Its the only shmup PCB I own right now as I have only recently started my collection. I assume you already have that one right Dave?

[Dave_K.]

Thanks bitkid, but no need to bring it since I have both DFK ports running in a cab with Stereo and Hires. Never had an opportunity to buy the PCB since it stayed outside of my price range, although I'm sure I'll pick it up at some point in the future.

[bitkid]

Cool. I can't wait to give Ketsupachi a grind then. I haven't broken down and bought a J360 yet but I have ordered all the region-free ports. MMP+PS should be here today.

[IlMrm]

Sounds great. Thanks for hosting again Dave.

[gs68]

I'm down. Hopefully I don't have too much to do over the weekend. I'll ring up Aru-san and Kitaru (since Kitaru wants to play Tetris TGM3).

Sunday works for me, but definitely not Saturday.

[Aru-san]

I'll probably come to this shmupmeet since I'm gonna be giving up arcade games on March 9th to April 24th (lol religion). Get some last plays of all of these shmoops before I'm unable to play them =O
