London Casino Crew meets (RIP the Arcade)

[Neith]

I'm hoping to come check the place out and meet you guys. I don't really know anyone who likes these games.
I was thinking about bringing my iphone with all of the cave games, DSi XL with Ketsui DL and my PSP packed full of shmups for the off chance they may amuse you guys, maybe some of you haven't played all of these yet.

[DEL]

Neith - The screens are a sight for sore eyes downstairs, which is a shame, but I hope you'll like the Darius Burst cab upstairs

The Old Mills - You mixed up your weeks. I'm down March 21st to 26th.

Big CHI - HUUUGE Thanks for snapping up those 4 Jap X360 shooters from Game Focus today
Outzone eh?! Blast from the past. A 4-4 sounds gut.

[Neith]

I've been following the thread for a while I know the pros and cons of the place, its problems are not going to bother me. I am most excited to play Darius Burst

[spadgy]

Come join us Neith! We'd love to have more people along, so you'd be very welcome. Sorry I failed to reply to your earlier PM. I thought I had.

We're a friendly bunch who are always up for meeting with a new visitor. Typically we're there on Tuesday evenings from about 6pm (I usually get there latest at 7pm). And we going this coming Tuesday. See you there!? We'll be easy to spot (I'm the one with a skateboard always with me, and glasses.

[Illyrian]

If I'm there I'll be the one who's most angry.

[CHI]

ahem... 4-6 Boss to be precise

[hzt]

holy fucking shit chi

you beast

[CHI]

holy fucking shit chi

you beast

Mwahahahahaaaa.........

FINALLY... I am done with this game

No, you're so close to beating the top score! 7 mil ftw!

It wasn't my intension to get such a score... the game is random...
*highlights of this credit*
died twice on stage 1 before getting to the 4 tanks...
managed the first loop with the final life (5 lives in stock without collecting a 1up) with 1.7mil...
second loop, died once, still no 1up with 3.3mil...
third loop, died twice, still no 1up...
forth loop, still no 1up, died both lifes on 4-6

[spadgy]

So you can do it without my help eh CHI?! I'm glad you've learned from our teamwork!

[CHI]

I'll very likely be in town in early March...

Nice... any confirm dates

I'm glad you've learned from our teamwork!

You ARE a funny fellow

PS: planning to install MMP and RT Leo end of Feb for the mini and main meets
MMP will replace OutZone...
OutZone will replace DDPII Beestorm...
RT Leo will replace Progear...
Any ideas please let me know

[spadgy]

Any ideas please let me know

How about putting one of my more obscure boards in somewhere for the meet?

Mad Shark, Zing Zing Zip; something like that? Something less-than-obvious nobody will have touched much...

Or maybe even my ESP.ra.de in place of DDP? Or Donpachi in case Smraedis heads down (you were up for that right .SM?).

Or even Viper Phase 1 'New Version'. Actually; did we already have my Viper Phase 1 in years ago CHI?

[MX7]

ESPRADE, MMP and no DoDonpachi in the Casino would make it some kind of heaven on earth... All it would need is Ibara and DFKBL then I would probably move in.

Oh and Donpachi is probably the best 'Pachi game aside from DFKBL. Would be Incredable to have that in

[Smraedis]

Or maybe even my ESP.ra.de in place of DDP? Or Donpachi in case Smraedis heads down (you were up for that right .SM?).

I'd be happy with it in there

Chi have I ever said I want to have sex with you before?

[CHI]

Chi have I ever said I want to have sex with you before?

Have you been drinking again? You do this EVARIE time when you drink that shit

What about this... DP replaces DDP after Aliquantic's visit... ESPRade replaces DDP II... MMP still replaces OutZone and RT Leo replaces Progear... any good

[Aliquantic]

I wouldn't recommend leaving DDP until my visit... I'll only be in London if I can get some "gigs" and I don't expect to play the game much, so definitely don't leave it just for me Though maybe someone else will step up and show the cab some love... chaining games are people too!

(No OutZone then in your new arrangement?)

'Gigs'? How mysterious! Are you a travelling musician?

I'd like to like DoDonpachi, but it's getting a little stale now. I generally ignore chaining when I play it, then I feel all guilty and sweaty about it afterwards.

[hzt]

Totally secret agent. "Gigs" (note quote marks) = assassinations.

Sounds lovely! And then MAd Shark replaces them all after the meet!

[Illyrian]

I hurt my shoulder by turning the rudder too hard in Deadstorm Pirates, I'm having to take prescription painkillers.

Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is when a consultant asks you how you hurt your elbow to have to say "I was turning a pirate ship in a video game and I turned the wheel too fast." It was probably a combination of that, and that I gatling the trigger too fast when playing House of the Dead 3.



Wanna come down in 8 days time on the tuesday if people are around. Just had a look on youtube, that Mad Shark game looks old school.

[CHI]

No OutZone then in your new arrangement?

As stated before, I'm pretty much done with this game, but I'm still thinking about that 7mil Skykid mentioned (I'll try and record a super run)! Plus the crew doesn't play such an old game apart from CAVE:)

[Smraedis]

On the arcade version?

I read this just after you posted and I only stopped laughing now.

On my PS3. I don't fuck about when it comes to stopping the kraken rip the mast off.

[spadgy]

Guess what? I'm now going to have to make it Thursday!

Mrs spadgy has to suddenly go away for a good few nights for work, so tonight's the only chance I'll get to see her this week.

I know - I'm a soppy fucker.

I'll be in Thursday though, if anyone's about.

[MX7]

Urgh, a truncated Casino visit from me tonight as I felt like death warmed up, so sorry if I seemed a bit out of it. Managed to get a pretty respectable score on Mushi Orginal: 29million points! Going to push for 40 but it might take a while. I'm hardly consistent. Can't wait for Muchi Muchi Pork! to be installed

[Smraedis]

On my PS3. I don't fuck about when it comes to stopping the kraken rip the mast off.

oh just be all casual and you should be fine.. on the mast part you don't have to go fast.. it always gives in at 06:25, but sometimes it is near impossible on the arcade on high difficulties.
Haven't you seen how I play the game on my marathon video?

[Illyrian]

Dude i know but i get really into it! More than once I've actually screamed "THE KRAAAAAAKEEEEN!" when it appears

And yeah i always get 6.25 as well

Btw SM I'm now working on my Razing Storm 1cc so I guess I won't be busting my shoulder fighting off Krakens for a while

Also House of the Dead 3!

[Smraedis]

I say most of the script while playing the game, it's so bad that it's great

There are Krakens in Razing Storm it took me 4 plays to 1CC the game.

[Illyrian]

I think Razing Storm is extra hard for me at the moment as I've not got to the point of killing enemies fast enough, so too many of them are allowed to be on screen long enough to start doing red shots. Really there are only a few places where I'm still getting hit regularly and once that's sorted it shouldn't take too long.

Then it's Time Crisis 4, then HOTD3, and all of that needs to be sorted before HOTD4 comes out, so I can focus on that.

Also, what do you think you're doing climbing the net?
