Valley View Mall...

Post by zro »

On the Dragon Blaze machine at VV mall I sign my scores as ZRO.

There is a guy/girl who signs his/her title as EKE. I was just wondering if that person posted here. That would be awesome if we could meet up sometime and share strategies or even get some 2 player action going.

I don't know what happened, but, the other day we must've missed eachother by a matter of minutes because I left to go get some chinese take-out and returned to see my last score had been beaten by about one hundred thosuand, and lo and behold, it was EKE. 2 quarters later I beat that score and signed ZRO.

So... EKE..... your samurai shmupping skills seem to be good. If you post here, let me know!

We SERIOUSLY have to get a D/FW shmupmeet going. There's more of us around here than I thought.

Holy crap, I didn't know they had any shmups at valley view! And I'm all for the shmupmeet - I live in Lewisville, a little town by Grapevine and Denton. But damn, I'll have to stop by a drop a few quarters into that Dragon Blaze...

That mall sounds familiar. It is near Sherman? If it's the mall I think it is, I wouldn't mind going there next time I visit my relatives down in Texas.

Sorry to be totally off topic: I miss the Niners/Cowboys rivalry of the 90s. :(

Not as good as Tokyo did. It's okay though... just need to get out more. Sleeping on the floor these days (no... not in trouble) so it's hard to get a good night's sleep.

I'm actually in the middle of constructing a stick. DC Arcade to PS2. Might nag you in a PM. :)

So how's Dallas? I went back (to Garland) twice this year, but it's all hanging out w/ the family as I never see them. Gaming is limited to my GBA.

Dallas is allright. Nothing special really going on here.

Good news on the Dragon Blaze though. Turns out they moved it over to the Richardson Square Mall over off of Arapaho and Plano Rd.
