ARCADE PARTY! (Tentatively) Saturday, August 21st - DC Area

Looks like its a go for me. Mike Roma will be taking this long journey with me to Manassas Park. If anyone needs parts and want to save on shipping let me know. I'm also open for trades. Here is my flickr and I will try to make a new for sale post tonight. I have a lot of other parts that are not listed so you can PM me if your looking for something. I might even be able to bring one game. http://www.flickr.com/photos/djdns/

LOL... good luck on the journey... BRING PLENTY OF FOOD AND WATER! And no need to take a grueling pace... you don't want to lose half the party to dysentery or cholera on the way :D .

Thanks! So, are you gonna make the trip out here on Saturday? You seem to be really into those nice long drives :D . There may even be someone interesting to meet somewhere along the way ;) .

Drop me a PM if you'd like to come by. I've seen a few CL ads from Manassas Park... I really should email them and find out where they are... it seems like there's someone else really close with an arcade collection.

Looks like I'm prob out for sat. I have a guy coming to pick up a game from out of town and we are supposed to be going out with friends in the evening for a birthday. If anything changes I'll let you know! Have a good time guys!
 
Man!!! I am so on the fence about going!! I really want to but it will take me 1hr45min to get there,then I have to pick my daughter up by 3p. Festivities don't officially kick off until 12. That means I will have to leave at 1pm. F@#% !!!! What would you guys do in this situation??
 
Go!

Bah... that's a crappy situation... 3.5hrs of driving for 1hr of gaming... how about - come to the party, get someone else to pick up your daughter ;) .

Thanks a lot for coming by and hanging out/playing games... I had a lot of fun, and it seemed like everyone found something they enjoyed playing. I'll definitely do it again sometime, and I've learned a little bit from it (I need to do something about the cooling down there... it got a little hot, especially in the large room... and the AC is STILL running trying to get the house back to normal temp :p ).

Only a few casualties today, so it was pretty good. The Star Wars went out first... about 4 hrs in, the deflection board started glitching. The other game that went down was Berzerk, about 7 hours in (CPU board locked up and wouldn't come back). Other than that, just a few minor things.

I'm just now getting home (1:30am) from 9am this morning when I left to head to your party. After I left your place the wife had me go to some talent show and then her friends B'day party. All the time I was out with her I was thinking, I wish I was home trying out those free play roms you did for me. Thanks for having me over. Had a good time and thanks for fixing the monitor. Your place gave me inspiration to get me done or at least clean. Definitely a nice set-up you have.

P.S. The next arcade party that comes up (SuperBee4406) will be getting a pair of white gloves from me and a badge that says "THE INSPECTOR" L.O.L.
 
Wow... sounds like you had a BUSY day! I'm glad I could help out w/ the monitor. And yeah... you've got LOTS of cool games, I'd love to check them out. Party at your place next time ;) .

Let me know how the ROMs work for you... especially the Star Castle ones. Like I mentioned earlier, for whatever reason, my board wouldn't run w/ my 2716 chips, so I had to burn them on 2732s.

I'm about to try to pull my machine out now. I cant wait till the morning or I should say when the sun comes up. I'm also looking for a Whirlwind Pinball Machine thanks to you. I always wanted one, but tried to not think about it. Now that I played yours I have to have one. I have to figure out what I can sell now or find someone I can do a trade or partial trade with. Lastly where to put it!
 
DogP,

Thanks again for hosting. Your arcade is awesome and it definately inspires me to finish mine. Glad to meet someone that lives only 20mins from my place and I am looking forward to staying longer next time.

Pretty funny that we figured out I bought my Gauntlet II off you 4 or 5 years ago!
