Missouri Cave Matsuri - Nov 1st 2008

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Fri Oct 10, 2008 12:00 am

I am located in Central Misery, just above Columbia. So I need the KC boys and the STL gangstas to give me a holla.

I am thinking late October on a Saturday, starting Noonish and going late.
I have an Egret II for the boards, and a Tated TV for consoles, but no true RGB monitor. I have a lot of space in my basement and we can order some mouth watering BBQ for lunch.

Let me know what you think. Right now, it looks like Nov 1st. If that doesn't work, 2nd Saturday in November might work. I will keep in touch.

Thanks!

Later in November preferrably on a Saturday would work best for me. Arcade auction is November 22nd so I'll be there at that for sure. November 1st might work as well though. I've got close to 100 PCB's of all varying genre's so I could probably bring a few items. Nothing too LQQK R@RE! but definitely some stuff people would like to play.

I'm down with this, any saturday will most likely work for me.

I'm open for any date, but November 1st is the day before my birthday so that sounds kinda nice. Or, whichever date Steve is able to make

It is looking like November 1st. When I get a lock on the date I can send my address so you can Mapquest it. If it looks too confusing, I can meet anyone at a gas station and lead you from there.

Thanks!

My work schedule is pretty erratic but I'll see if Nov 1 will do. I should know by this Monday or Tuesday.

stuminator · Post by **stuminator** » Mon Oct 13, 2008 8:35 pm

I can indeed do Nov 1st.

Anybody bringing a Mushi Futari or Ketsui board?

caldwert · Post by **caldwert** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 2:57 am

So who all is planning on attending? What boards does anyone have? I assume everyone has a list of what they could bring.

stuminator · Post by **stuminator** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 7:32 pm

My PCB collection is pretty small since I've only had my cab for a few months: Dragon Blaze, Donpachi, & all 3 Strikers.

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Tue Oct 14, 2008 9:15 pm

I don't have any pcbs unfortunately

Might have some console stuff of interest. I have a Genesis flash cart now, for anyone who wants to try some of the more rare stuff like Eliminate Down, Twinkle Tale, Panorama Cotton... *shrug* eh, maybe someone would like that. I have a modded PS2 and the Cave imports but I think you have that stuff already Todd?

Joe T. · Post by **Joe T.** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 10:36 pm

If it works out that Caldwert and I can make it (we live across the street from one another), I can bring a few boards. I've got some newer cave boards: Ibara, ESPGaluda II, Muchi Muchi Pork, and some Raizing stuff too.

caldwert · Post by **caldwert** » Fri Oct 17, 2008 10:44 pm

I've got tons of stuff. Joe can attest to the basement of shame. Lets see off the top of my head: Outzone, Guwange, Donpachi, Raiden Fighters 1, 2 and Jet, Strikers 1945 III, Battle Garegga, Dangun Feveron, Mars Matrix, 1944, Dimahoo, Fixeight, and tons of other games.

http://www.vaps.org/members/member_deta ... _id=398833 That's my list on KLOV. "New games arriving daily!" Actually that's not much of an exaggeration lately.

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 12:09 am

I've wanted to play ESP Galuda II really badly!

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 1:47 am

Helps when you check the thread you started!

Although, I never received any alerts when you guys posted...

Yes, sounds like November 1st is doomsday! I will plan accordingly.

Stuminator - Bring the Psikyo boards! Gunbird is the only thing I own from the Psikyo canon.

szycag - Yes I have the import PS2 and DOJ/Galuda/Homura/Raiden 3. Twinkle Tale and Undeadline would be awesome!

Joe T. - Your presence is required at the MCM!!! I, too, have wanted to play ESPG 2. And MMP looks insane!

caldwert - I have Batrider Ver. B, so Garegga would be great. My Dangun is hopefully being fixed, I will keep you posted.

I will see what I can do about getting the all mighty Ketsui to show up at the meet. Shouldn't be too hard to pull some strings.

If anyone has a Supergun that would be great as we seem to have a lot of pcbs and one cabinet!

That might create a bottleneck!

I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks!

Well, me and Dave from Chicago are down to go. We have an Astro City we can bring to up the cab count to two as well as Progear, DOJ, ESPrade, Mushihimesama, and - Ketsui. I also have some Saturn stuff (Batsugun, Dodonpachi, Cotton 2, Darius Gaiden) and a tateable flat screen tv. We are both good for the first, but can't make it the following weekend if the date changes.

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 5:29 pm

Ok, this is gonna be crazy now

stuminator · Post by **stuminator** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 7:23 pm

Wow, you're bringing another cab?!

drboom · Post by **drboom** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 8:11 pm

We're crazy like that.

It helps that Dave's got it so he can just wheel the cab out of his apartment and into the truck. Ground level apartment. I'm envious.

Got to get Dave involved in the forums...lurker...

Okay, kids, you have heard the awesome news!!!

The Dr. and his assistant are coming down to the meet! This will definitely give us the extra "shot"

of Cave that we are looking for!

I will be sending PMs with my address for Mapquest. Looking forward to seeing all the interested parties here!

Thanks!

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 3:41 am

Even better news! We may see another Cave masterpiece at the meet! It all depends on the USPS, so bee praying for speedy delivery!

Thanks!

caldwert · Post by **caldwert** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 3:47 am

Which one would this be? Also, a quick question, do they televise St. Louis Blues games at your house?

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 4:14 am

Awww, cmon! It would not be a surprise now, would it?

Not sure on the Blues game...

But I shouldn't think it would be a concern for you, since you WILL BE PLAYING SHMUPS THE ENTIRE TIME!!!

j/k

caldwert · Post by **caldwert** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 4:33 am

Does everyone have a list of PCB's? I posted my link earlier. I got 19XX today, and Gigawing is on the way. There's also non-shooter stuff thats come in since the last update. Anyone looking to sell anything at the meet? or buy anything for that matter?

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 5:37 am

I'll have Ketsui Death Label on my DS. I'll just bring that; no pcbs here and I doubt the console stuff will see any action with two cabs going.

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 8:03 pm

szycag - That will be awesome to see! I owned a DS at one time, but I've pretty much given up on handhelds. Too small of a screen for me to enjoy the beautiful 2D world. (Being an old geezer gamer probably doesn't help much either!)

caldwert - Never that about that. Didn't know if people would like this to be a swapshmupmeet as well? But I will throw this out there. Those people with boards willing to part with a US Region Seibu MOBO???

Thanks!

caldwert · Post by **caldwert** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 9:09 pm

That makes 2 of us looking for one, lol. I got a Raiden Fighters 2 cart off of Ebay the other day to complete the series and had to use my Viper Phase 1 motherboard to play it on. My Battle Balls motherboard works on my Neo cabinet fine, but not on the Astro City, yet the other 2 motherboards work perfectly on the Astro City. Raiden Fighters Jet is the HK Rogue board.

caldwert · Post by **caldwert** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 3:38 am

Ok, folks. I'm trying to come up with a list of what all I should bring. I've got a ton of bullcrap as posted earlier in this link. A few things have come in since I last updated that such as 19XX and Gigawing will be here by Saturday. So take a look at my list and let me know what anyone already has that they could bring or what they'd like to play. I'm cool with non-shooters being brought if anyone wants to see some of the crap that I have. I'll post a shortlist of things I'm planning on bringing:

- Guwange
- Outzone
- Fixeight
- Omega Fighter Special, Gunbird18's special request
- Battle Garegga, Joe and I have differing versions of this, might be interesting to compare
- Dimahoo, Joe and I both have this though
- Strikers 1945 Plus MVS

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 4:28 am

I might like to see the Michael Jackson's Moonwalker arcade game if we get some time

stuminator · Post by **stuminator** » Tue Oct 28, 2008 7:16 pm

TMNT and Bad Dudes, yeah, bring those. I'M BAD!!!

Looks like I'm bringing Dragon Blaze and the Strikers trilogy. I've also got a Simpsons board on the way. I can bring that as well if it arrives by Friday.

drboom · Post by **drboom** » Wed Oct 29, 2008 8:34 pm

The super-secret special pcb jusy arrived - gonna have it for the weekend!

Also trying to switch out the stick on my Aero Table and we may be bringing that by if we can fit it along with the Astro City in the back of my Element. Probably going to be tight, but we'll give it a go.

Here's our pcb list that we are bringing:
Progear
Ketsui
Mushihimesama
Raidient Silvergun
Soukugurentai
ESP RaDe
DDP DOJ
