Hey Guys

Unless I get a better plan on moving games to CAX this year I'm going to be limited to 2 or 3 games. I'll probably bring my JAMMoppet also if it doesn't sell by then.

Last year NessJess and I brought between the two of us, 4 Double Dragon original machines loaded with

Double Dragon
Cadash Linked
and Growl 2P

We also brought 2 Dynamo HS1 machines with

Street Fighter 2 HF
Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike

All of our stuff got great play but the Growl. I'm trying to figure out what to bring this year as I can pretty easily bring mostly 19" cabs because I feel like they are a good use of space.

I'm not sure if I want to bring my Cadash linked setup this year. It was a bit confusing and too committal to get 4 people hooked in on a linked scenario. I feel like people either camp out a game way too long or they get bored and abandon games to try something else.

I can probably bring combination of

Cadash Linked
Double Dragon and or DD2
Elevator Action Returns (Taito F3)
or any of the Taito G-net games (Space Invaders Aniversary, G-Darius, Raystorm, Psyvariar, Sonic Wings Limited, Zooo etc)

I can also try to put some effort into a Capcom fighting row which this may or may not be the best crowd for.

Any thoughts as to what I should work toward putting together?

I'll probably bring SFII HF again. It got a ton of play last year. Guys were waiting to play and watching. It felt like middle school all over again. :)

Two 19" SF2 HF machines and one 25" SF2 HF machine would equal a cool SF2 Ladder row...

You win, you move up to the next machine. The 25" would end up being the central court of skills!
 
I have a 25" Hyper Fighting in a MK cab I used to bring. I will probably bring it with the rest.
 
Are you guys renting a trailer to bring your games up? Looks like the CAX train is game over :( Not sure I'm going to bring games up this year my Caddy is down and it's the only Thing that can tow at this point.

I'm just hauling my one game in my Subaru. Yeah, sad CAX train is over, but that was a lot of work for guys like Trev and Andrew that had to drive the truck. I think Andrew didn't get back until like 2am last year.
 
Yeah the train is over... but it was way more work for the beginning and end runs of their haul. Totally understandable.

I can bring a trailer but I'd need help loading and unloading. 3 days rental would be $75 ... I'm going to have to ask around to see who can lend me a trailer. I really don't want to move 3 machines one at a time even though I'm only 15 mins away (1 way)

I have all of the Dynamo cabs I would need to build a SF2 row...

Tom do you recall this monitor? I finally got it working. I happen to run across a different K7201 monitor/chassis so I combined it with your new tube.
