Shmup at the 1up Barcade in Denver

Finally got around to putting in a dedicated vertical cabinet for shmups at the 1up.
The first game I decided to put in the is 19XX. Once the slows down, ill switch the board/marquee to something else.

The game is located in the back. We currently have over 50 vids and over 18 pinball games.

thanks!

Cool! I ended up getting the flu saturday night and was out for almost a week. So I missed Sunday Kong Off :(

Tell me what you guys think of the game. I put new sticks and the 25" monitor is massive.

That's awesome! But if I go there to play that, you have to come to Utah and play Dariusburst: Another Chronicle! :P

Nice to see! I frequent the 1up quite often and always hoped for some shmups there. 19xx isn't a bad choice at all either, probably my favorite from that series. Will have to check it out when I get the chance.
What are you trying to tell me, that I can dodge bullets?

The only shmups at the Barcade here are Centipede, Galaga, and Satan's Hollow. All three are fantastic, but man oh man would I love to have some later 80s/early 90s goodness in there, too.

We have Galaga / Millipede and Satans Hollow at the 1up.
I dont quite consider those shmups, but they are fun to play.

Im hoping to have a permanent shmup in each location.
We have a 1943 at the 1up Colfax (aka 2up)

I'll have to pay a visit to the 1up sometime. I live about an hour north, so why the heck not?

Wonder if it'd be possible to get a more challenging shmup there this year (I know you had Space Invaders the last time, but a bullet hell-type).

I was wondering if the 2up was you also, guess it is from the thread.

The 2up is now called "1up Colfax". Yes, its both us.

1up LoDo had 19xx
1up Colfax has 1943

once 19xx slows down, ill be throwing in another game. but it will be a few months before I do.

That is how my living room should look like. Just need a pool table, girl dancing on pole, croc-pit, and just for
fun a ball room for adults, shocke-em-boppem. The adult chuckie cheese
