Alright

Don't no one steal the quarters. I'll be there as the bouncer. And Chris, time to change your signature man, I don't think you own any more of those cabs/games....

LOL!!!!

Oh crap you are right I don't own any more of those cabs... other than the Aero. Both Atomiswave collections and NAOMI collections are in storage though.

Aero is up for sale. Changed the profile info......

BER and DirtyMonk are contacting him, as they are both close by to Pleasanton.

Don't worry, I've got him covered for the ride

I was wondering whether we could watch some replays on someone's computer tomorrow. I'm thinking about bringing on a CD some Ibara replays by Archer.

pixelcorps · Post by **pixelcorps** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 4:41 am

well, i can always bring a laptop, but i'm sure dave's got shit covered...

and... I decided, if dave allows, that you guys can take a peek at a very early version of my lil' doujin game i've been working on for the last few months.. it's not a shooter, but i'd be interested to see what people think...

Excellent! Of course I'll allow it! I hope it supports PSX/USB joysticks.

well... joystick support is almost implemented, but it's better on keys.. it only uses the cursors

- well you'll see tomorrow!.. I just assembled a build and it works ok, minus a bug or ten.. umm

DirtyMonk · Post by **DirtyMonk** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 5:14 pm

PC just notified me that he won't be able to make it, so I'll be rolling in alone. See you soon, Dave!

A big thanks to Dave for hosting another great shmupmeet. Everyone had a chance to try out the many Raizing shooters. Pixelcorps demonstrated a demo for his game, which looked pretty cool(I still thought that monkey was gonna blow up

).

BER(right) and Dirtymonk both at Ibara.

Pixelcorps at Battle Garegga.

Dirtymonk at Homura. Pixelcorps at Bakraid.

Love it or hate it.

Can't wait for the Psikyo theme shmupmeet.

Shmupmeet was yesterday? Shoot...

Post by **Dave_K.** » Sun Mar 05, 2006 10:59 pm

I think we had 13 people total at this shmupmeet. Rastan78 (LTG) schooled us on Bakraid and Garegga. Some scores I jotted down:
Battle Garegga 4,498,640 LTG
Battle Bakraid (Normal) 24,037,160 LTG
Battle Bakraid (Advanced) > 17M LTG
Ibara 2,449,920 BER
Great Mahou Daisakusen > 2M BER

And finaly the mystery shmup contest results:
BER 1st
Louisg 2nd
Armon 3rd

Here are Louis (left) and Bernard (right) squaring off in the final round of head-to-head Change Air Blade.

Dave, thanks for hosting this shmupmeet. I had fun playing with Ibara and two-player battles in Change Air Blade. I'm looking forward to trying out Under Defeat and any other game I have yet to play in the next shmupmeet!

Edit: Anyone still interested in Change Air Blade might be interested in this guide in Japanese:

Two movies are also on this site.

That game was a trip to say the least.
