Well, yeah, all confirmed. Go to that station and then ask for the arcade, I'm sure it's near but at the moment I have a hole in my mind, I can't remember more details! Anyway, the Casino arcade is trapped between a Chicken Mac Something and some kind of Scientology place, easy to recognize

ok let's meet directly in there then

6pm friday the 10th

"Chicken Mac Something" and "some kind of Scientology place"... mmmh, they both sound equally scary xD !

LUNardei · Post by **LUNardei** » Tue Aug 07, 2007 10:01 pm

They are! Anyway, don't take 6pm too seriously. We'll be there in the evening when we're all right with the hotel, but don't worry, there is always people at the arcade, you won't be alone in any case

Hi guys!

Time is running fast!

We're really waiting for the meet impatiently! And we're going to try a lot of good restaurants, too!

What about the weather? Is it just cold or it's very very cold?

See you soon!

I'm supposed to go Camping this weekend. You telling me this thread is 2 months old and I ain't seen it?

Shame on you guys for not inviting me

Just kidding, if the camping trip doesn't happen I will pop down for just one night (unless someone has a floor I can sleep on).

Yep, the italian record at Progear, 21.8M by The True Last JCK!
Atm I suck at Ultra mode due to lack of practice in the latest weeks, but I can work on it during the week

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Sun Aug 12, 2007 2:05 pm

We need to take more pictures xD

Ketsui & Mushi roxxx!!!

Yeh, a photo of LUN standing next to a 320mil Ultra mode Mushi scoreboard would be nice. I'll check back for that tomorrow.

That won't happen unless they have rapid fire circuits hooked up to the Cab.

We did have an autofire circuit rigged up to the Mush cab, but it never worked (for rapid banking). We either didn't have the speed right, or it needed to by syncronous

.

I couldn't make it out today, but I decided to go for my old XX Mission Counter Stop, as I never took a photo of it in 1992.

XX Mission PCB - Default
DEL - 9,996,500 - Counter Stop
Overclocked to 381,600
Game Duration 3hrs 8mins

^The above photo shows the Overclock of the score.
Like Raiden Fighters I it starts from 0 once the 9,999,990 is reached.
The Counter Stop remains at the top middle of the screen from then on, but does not appear on the Ranking list. Notice the overclock score at the bottom of the ranking (381,600).

There is currently no High Score thread for XX Mission, so I'll post it here (considering the Meet is still in progress

)

As it so turns out. Looks like I will be coming to London for a little while after all. Flight leaves in about 3 hours so I will hopefully be seeing some of you guys soon.

Good news! I'll send you a pm with some details to meet us

Edit: Jck worked out an ALL at Progear, damn nice. I'm getting used to "Ultra mode with rubbish stick" and i will perform a 320 mil all tomorrow

Ah, we'd need some sedatives to force BR1 to play again

Masamune · Post by **Masamune** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 4:56 am

LoL have fun while im working...

bloody work.

i hope the arcade aint deserted this week...

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Mon Aug 13, 2007 9:20 am

Mills just texted me that he did manage to meet you guys for a Troc Strikers 2-ALL...?

Is this true?

btw - Jck's Progear runs were excellent. Almost makes me want to try it again. God knows how I'd get on with that scoring system though

Hell yeah he did ! He pulled a 1.7M score on a 2-all at the trocadero arcade. That was impressive and fun to watch !

Tomorrow is my last day in London, I think ill spend the afternoon in the arcade. So you can find me there tomorrow ^^ Hope Ill get to see you there Ayanami.

Wooh that's wonderful. A great way to end this excellent week!
Mills was fantastic as usual, and today we even met Ayanami at the Casino

We also relaxed ourselfs with a small Third Strike tournament and ended the day with a good beer. Goodbye Prometheus, a great shmups-mate for this meet, see ya soon!

Got back home yesterday without troubles~

Thx everyone for this great meet ! It was great to be able to play Ketsui and Mushihime sama for the first time (although the later was difficult to enjoy because of the bad joystick). London is a very nice place to visit, also.

It was great to meet DEL, Mills, Ayanami and of course the 3 italians LUN BR1 & JCK with which I had a great time and spent my money in good restaurants and pubs/bars ;D

DEL · Post by **DEL** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 11:36 am

Tonight is the final one of the Meet. I'll take 'just a couple more shots!'

Glad you're back home safely PROMETHEUS!
