Pinball and Arcade live auction at the Santa Clara fairgrounds (off Tully). They have them every 3-4 months. Good place to get cheap project cabs (most are in poor condition). If you go before the auction starts at 10:15am, you can play-test the machines (bring your own extension cord).

I can't make it to the shmupmeet.

I'm still having car trouble. Actually, I don't have any transportation at the moment. Plus my brother's b-day was yesterday, so I'm gonna hang out with him this weekend.

It would be great if somebody could make a 'bay area shmupmeet impressions' thread after, so I can hear about how it went.

okay i'm brining over my Satrun and modded PS2, i was wondering do you have the A/v cables for both systems just i just hook it up to your configurations., also i have DC/PS2 controller converter i will bring those along too. I will also bring some unlisted good shmups for PSX/Saturn and some Dojin shmups and 2D fighters if we have time to play them and offcourse some snakcs and stuff, thanks again to Dave_K for hosting this.

Oh yeah, I'll chip in some money for some pizza or fast food.

Post by **Dave_K.** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 1:33 am

shariar07, I have hookups for PS2, but not saturn. If you have an RGB/SCART cable for the saturn that would be best, next best would be s-video, then standard rca/composite.

shariar07 · Post by **shariar07** » Sat Jun 18, 2005 2:07 am

ok, I'll bring s-video for saturn and two controllers. should i bring some saturn games too what games? I have most of them.[/url]

As many Saturn shooters as you've got I guess.

It's 12:30 now. I'll be there in about 30 or so minutes. My names Albert. I'll be wearing a black jacket. I'm bringing a buddy, hopes that's cool.

You missed about 4 more bay area shmupmeets since this thread. The last one was just about 30 days go (see link).

Feel free to start planning another if you want to hold one closer to modesto.

Whoa, this freaked me out.. I thought I'd missed a shmupmeet until I saw the date! So, when's the next one-- and I realized I missed out on some Saturn action from the first meet! Any Saturning in the forseeable future?

I think Shariar07 sold his Saturn. We played some Radient Silvergun and Battle Garegga....I was not impressed. Since then I bought a Garegga PCB and have "learned to like it". I don't even want to bother with RS.

As for next southbay meet, nothing scheduled yet. I may avoid having one over the summer as it gets far to hot in my garage. We'll see.

Ok =) Whenever the next one is scheduled, I'd be happy to bring my Saturn and RayForce (the unfortunately titled domestic release of it)!

Yikes, what happened to the shmupmeets? We should organize something. I'm always up for hanging out and playing shooters =)

Post by **Dave_K.** » Thu Dec 28, 2006 7:32 pm

Yeah, sorry, but work has been a real bitch the last 6 months or so, and I'll be traveling soon, so maybe end of January to begining of February I could host again.

Well since IlMrm will be away in Japan in Feb, how does Jan 27th sound to people (two weeks from now)?

Thanks very much for scheduling the meet around my trip, but if it's more convenient for people the next weekend, don't worry about me.

I can make it on the 27th. It'll be a nice warm up.
