I did indeed. Good to play Cyvern in it's proper environment, though it was even more unforgiving that I remember from MAME play.. the stage 2 boss is a total nightmare.DEL wrote:elbarto - As you will have seen earlier today, some repair work was done on Friday evening. Cyvern and Sengeki Striker are now installed in Casino arcade.
Not very far for me (like not even getting there!)DEL wrote:[ ie. See how far we can push on into the 2nd Loop.
DEL, awsome idea! Something I just realized, will all the shmups there be on free play then? I can't see you guys doing the competition putting in a pound for every 2-3 games . Anyway, we will post our scores after the meet in our thread, so we can compare.DEL wrote:Dave_K - Hi! seeing as we've both got Ketsui at our next Meets, maybe an INTERCONTINENTAL KETSUI TOURNAMENT SHOULD BE HELD
In addition to most X5s collected on ST1, a 1 credit 'distance on the day' contest could be held. ie. See how far we can push on into the 2nd Loop.
Just a thought....
no game in casino costs £1 per playMolloy wrote:Tell Bob there are two crucial things that will get people playing in Casino in large numbers (as well as decent games that are rotated periodically of course):
1) A price drop to 50p. People are never going to be that enthusiastic about paying 1quid a pop for Vs games. If you charge a little less the machines will stay in play a hell of alot more. People will see it as more of a regular thing rather than a luxury thing. Which gets in more regular players rather than the typical tourist/day shopper type who just likes driving and gun games.
2) Decent frickin cabinets. Those Electrocoins are 15+ years old. They've had their day. Must have had 100's of thousands of credits. Time to get in a row of Astro City's or Egrets or something. They don't cost a fortune, less than £500 each if you were buying 2nd hand in bulk. If people can sit down and be comfortable they're going to spend more.
I can tryDEL wrote: LUNardei - Perhaps you can drag Rando down to the next Meet
I did notice last april that while some machines (Progear is the one I am positive about this) said: 1 GBP for 4, you only got 3 (maybe even just 2) credits. Still great value for money imho, but a little bit annoying non the less when you expect more credits than the machine gives you.DEL wrote: Molloy - As masamune says, the credit settings are good in Casino arcade. Cyvern is on £1 for 4 credits, so is Sengeki Striker & Progear. Ketsui is on £1 for 3, so is Mush.
Aw! Too late. I already booked my room at the Barry House. Thanks for the offer, though. It's much appreciated.DEL wrote:Herr Schatten - You can stay at mine this time. It'll save you a nice bit of money for enjoying the whole weekend!
