London Casino Crew meets (RIP the Arcade)

[DEL]

^Thanks ill6 There's a Stork Delivery Boom at the moment.
btw. I know you've got a Naomi Border Down kit. Is it a cumbersome system to get
I know nothing about Naomi other than playing on the system.

Cheers, DEL

I know you've got a Naomi Border Down kit. Is it a cumbersome system to get
I know nothing about Naomi other than playing on the system.

NAOMI System is quite a large piece of kit for something that plays discs. If you're planning on getting one, I'd think it'd be better to have it in a cab rather than plugged into a supergun, since the system dwarfs quite a lot of superguns, and keeping it in a cab keeps it safe from knocks while it's powered on.

Congrats on the new progeny, by the way. Been out of the loop for a while.

[jpj]

delboy: naomi is JVS rather than jamma (JVS is kinda like jamma part 2: the bitch is back). i think you need a 3.3v power supply, and the audio will need to be amplified.

you can get it to work on a supergun, but you might wanna enquire with the guys on arcadeotaku about what you need

[DEL]

Thanks guys. I'll ask around at IC09. It may be that I just stick with the port, but you never know...

[Rupert H]

Yeah, no serious Border Down player should have to miss out on that little flock of birds from the Naomi version.

Seriously though, that's always puzzled me; beautiful as Border Down is I have trouble believing that it's pushing the Dreamcast to the limit, necessitating the birds to be cut from the port.

[Chi_Ryu]

Congrats Del!

With regards to Naomi, I've a full Naomi 1 or 2 (got both, one's dirt cheap, the other not) + GDrom setup + PSU + Capcom I/O (needed if you wanna play it on a Jamma cab/gun) for sale after/at Insert Coin, and my homeboy LIME_01R (Ealing massive, represent!) is likely to be offering his Border Down for sale at the show, too. </pimping>

[DEL]

Chi_Ryu - I'm very tempted indeed, if the price is right. Seek out a guy with a charcoal BATRIDER T Shirt on saturday.

Rupert H - Birds! That's all I need right now is Birds:!:
The up and down scrolling might be a bit different on the Naomi original too. I 6D ALLed both the Naomi and the DC versions, but I reckon I'd like to own the original . Coming back to the game for the last week has reminded me how much I like it. Perhaps my all time No.1

[Chi_Ryu]

I'll be wandering around in a staff T-shirt, look for the fella with a goatee and long dark hair. Sadly whilst the Naomi 1 motherboard is cheap as chips (as in £30), the GD-Rom and I/O isn't, though I'd be just looking for what I paid :{

Need to meet & speak to you, spadgy or one of the other hardcore Casino crew anyway about DeathSmiles MegaBlack Label (as in... fancy the PCB sitting down in Casino for a month? )

God, Northampton is a depressing place. ;p

Yep, playing poker with my friends at the hotel, having a drink.
See you guys at the event.

[thegreathopper]

God, Northampton is a depressing place. ;p

I used to go to a great indoor skateboard park there years ago, I do not remember what the town was like.

[DEL]

^Yup Radlands Skatepark in Northampton. I went there a few years ago as well.
Also been to Urban Tiger in the town centre too
Plus the Santa Pod Dragster raceway three times.

[MX7]

God, Northampton is a depressing place. ;p

Ha ha, yes. If it wasn't for the fact that there doesn't appear to be anyone living there, I would have walked around, convinced I was going to be mugged all the time

Shame we didn't meet at IC09 MX7. You were there right?

So - who's down Casino when this week?

[mr_m0nks]

Wish I was down at casino

In desperation for gaming goodness I'm now addicted to Eve online.

[CHI]

you know where i am Spadgy... i'm just a text away...

[spadgy]

you know where i am Spadgy... i'm just a text away...

Cool - if I'm not out over the park play a few rounds of disk golf, I might head in tomorrow...,

[Tigershark]

Anyone there tonight? I might wander up there after work this evening.

[spadgy]

I'm afraid it's next Thursday for me.

Had an awesome night there last night with CHI and RupertH on Tatsujin. I will get off of level one next visit! (I can't even beleive I'm having to say that about a game.

(And RupertH - I'll leave you feedback now for Secret Files - no need to return it as I didn't pay, but you put in enough effort to waarent a +1...)

[MX7]

Shame we didn't meet at IC09 MX7. You were there right?

Yeah, I was there. Unfortunately I'm a miserable bastard

I was tempted to introduce myself towards the end of the Saturday, but by then I'd had a few pints and didn't think I'd make a very good impression Also instrumental was the fact I was with my girlfriend and didn't want to abandon her. I think she was afraid of being abducted by the irate nerds she was beating on the fighting games.

I was nice seeing everyone from afar though!

[nikku]

I can't believe i use to walk past that place everyday for two years when i work up west, Is there any pic's online of the place?

[DEL]

pics - yeah

[Mills]

Damn those pics are old.

[spadgy]

I'm heading down Thursday for sure, about 7.30pm, and I might show might face tonight...

[Mills]

I should be there either friday, saturday or both.

[spadgy]

Anybody down tonight?

[Chi_Ryu]

I popped down yesterday lunchtime in passing (about 2.30pm). Wasted a quid playing like a muppet on Progear and then realised it just wasn't my day for shmupping and gave up

[spadgy]

I missed out on Thursday in the end as my mate got me free press tickets to that new Kung-Fu based west end show. We got very-close-to front row seats and a free bar and stuff, so I couldn't say no, but my advice - don't bother. Aside from the odd occasional display of amazing weapon skills, it was absolutely shit. Would have rather spent the evening being messed with by Tatsujin...

I'm up for a visit this week though, so somebody let me know if they're down for an evening...

[kennyrh]

I'm due a visit to London before long . . .anything new at the casino lately ?? Shmup or otherwise
