Posted this on some other forums so please excuse the repetition/info you already know
I'll try to be brief but I wanted to share this with you as it means a whole bunch of everything to me.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday just gone, there was a big arcade and console game festival in Rennes, France called Stunfest. It's mainly focused on fighting games apparently, but this year they had lots of arcade cabs with shooting games and, the main attraction, 3 of the best players in the world who are also world record holders at various games. Battle Garegga, DDPSDOJ etc.
Those players are NAK, Clover-TAC and T3-Kamui.
I heard about the festival on the SHMUPS forum and made an appeal asking if anyone was going would they mind taking an item with them to be signed for me. A top chap named Plasmo got in touch with me and said he was going from Germany to France for the festival and that he would gladly get my stuff signed!
So with that I sent off a booklet from my Progear VHS superplay which was recorded by Clover-TAC, a Sharpie marker and a return addressed jiffy bag and hoped Plasmo might have the chance to get it signed for me. If he couldn't, no problem, I had a feeling the three celebrities would be swamped with fans (and they were).
So Plasmo contacted me on Monday and said he got the booklet from my Progear VHS tape signed by Clover-TAC! It just arrived this morning!
This little scribble looks like it could be done by anyone, but I know who really signed it. When presented with the booklet, Plasmo told me Clover-TAC was very surprised and a bit emotional to see it again after so many years because it was the first Superplay recording he ever made.
I'm genuinely thrilled to have the booklet signed and in my collection now. Just knowing he saw it again and signed it for me means a lot to me.
Chuffed.
