A Round One location opened up about 30-40 minutes away from where I live, and they have a viewlix cab with Daioujou in it; might put more time into it next time I go.

Haven't checked if it was black label or not.

I remember seeing shmups at a pizza place and on a ferry, both when I was around seven years old. Don't remember anything else besides them being vertical-oriented and starting over a blue ocean or lake or something.

I have two Round Ones near me and they both have DOJ. Crazy.

I see shmups people. But no random cabinets anymore.

Last time I saw a shmuppycab in France (arcades/fair/pub/gym/highwaystop/whatever) was probably over a decade ago.

From 2016 alone I saw a few shmups cabs in the Jacksonville, FL area:

R-Type
19xx
P-47: Freedom Fighter
Sky Soldiers

There was this arcade that opened up that lasted for four months, unless issue with the rent came up with the owners, lol. Now ATM I don't think there are any shmup cabs in Jax ATM.

Dude that is an awesome arcade. If I lived in the area I would be a frequent patron. (well, actually first I would demand that you find a permanent cabinet for EspRADE)
And if you don't mind me asking, what is the going rate these days for a single credit? (say, of the first 3 games you've got listed.) Also curious, do the machines take actual coins or just tokens?

No shmups found yet around Lansing area Michigan. There's a Mrs Pacman at a nearby dunkin donuts, and a quality dairy that for the longest time had Puzzle Bobble. I'll keep my eyes open for sure though
