Pac-Man
Millipede

Just sent you a PM. I am going to try and stop by and play a few games.
Hope that Battlezone is working, I havent played one in years. If you had a Red Barron I might be hard to get rid of. :D
 
The number always varies as to how many show up. My expectation is between 10-15 this time. I've had as high as 70 before, but Saturday will be a more specific group.

Oh, and I just added Contra to my PCB stack today.
 
It's looking like I won't be able to make it out that way until sometime after 6pm -- lots of MAJOR issues have been going on at work (new plant startup -- looking at close to 60 hours OT worked already this week) that have carried over to the weekend. Due to the nature of my work, if the phone rings I have to answer and respond...
 
Sorry I had to leave early but I am glad I got to meet a few of the local collectors. You got a nice collection. I really enjoyed playing a few games like Tron that I haven't seen since they were in the arcades. I really hope this is the start of a new group gatherings and we can make it on a regular basis. I need to get in gear and get my game room back in order and get everything fixed so I can invite everyone over sometime. I posted a few pictures below for the folks that couldn't come by. Thanks again David for the invite.
Lets do it again soon.
Thanks

Auric (er uh, Dave :) ) is a great guy. I visited the "Aurcade" last summer, and he didn't even get mad when I beat some of his high scores :D
 
Sam:
Was great to finally meet you, and that is definitely the plan to start doing this on a regular basis.

Chris:
No worries. We'll do this again. Look forward to seeing you next time.

Fred:
Factory reset takes care of high scores! LOL
 
That was a great party as always, thanks again Auric! I've got to find me a Neo Geo... Sonic Wing 3 is ADDICTIVE :D

Sorry about that, I got over the bridge and got a call that a very important influent gate on a 72" force main shut due to computer issues. We had major flooding on 3 floors with several electrical MCC rooms getting flooded out as well. I didn't get back home from that fiasco until 3:30am. Normally my work schedule is a set rotation but right now we just finished a major upgrade / expansion that came online monday with very little testing before hand (higher ups then me made that decision) and even less training for the operators running the new equipment.

I was not happy at all when I had to turn around.

I'll be at the next one for sure.
 
I'm come up with the next date soon so everyone can plan ahead a little better.

I was thinking... what do you guys think of setting up some friendly competition and have everyone pick one or two games to challenge on. High scores or head-to-head etc.
 
That's a great idea, I'd especially love to go head to head on the Neo Geo. I'll also be up to all challenges in Virtua Racing, so anyone who crushed me last time will be welcome to do so again :p

Sounds like fun, count me in. :D
