Gaming Night at Schenley's - 7/18/09; Central N.J.

[Schenley]

It's time to whip the room of doom into shape and play some games!

Here's what can be expected:

Large screen (around 10 foot wide) classic gaming
- About 15 consoles all hooked up to that bad boy

Old school computers
- TI 99-4/a, Odyssey 2, CoCo **Full Odyssey 2 Collection available** (shush, VectorMan0)
- Vectrex
- Virtual Boy

New school gaming in 56" HD
- Wii, 360 games galore.
- Maybe a Rock Band session later in the evening (early morning?)

Another room with GameCube on a 32" TV

RoboCop, RadMobile full upright cabinets

Full sized MAME cabinet

Bar sized pool table

Board game area for some Parker Brothers video game based board games


Some ideas for this time around:
- PacMan vs. action on the GameCube
- 3D games on the SegaMasterSystem
- 9 ball tournament on the pool table

Snacks and beer provided. Feel free to bring appetizers or other drinks.

I can almost certainly guarantee bufoonery, shenanigans, and potentially some hijinks.

Please RSVP via PM or in this thread. Directions available via PM. I'm in the area of http://www.racewaypark.com if you need some reference.

[NoahsMyBro]

Absolutely awesome!

I need to confirm with management (wifey), but put me down as tentative.

ahem

I'll be hitching a ride with someone.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

I should be there.

[djbeatmongrel]

I'll be there

[GnawRadar]

If I can get a ride with Dave, I'll definitely come.

You had me at buffoonery.

Just save a rectangular area on a floor somewhere for me to crash. I've got someone to cover for me on a Saturday for a change.

I'll bring a few interesting trade items as well. If you need anything else, let me know as we get closer to the 18th!

Becareful where who you fall asleep around, this could happen!

Your post totally reminded me of this skit.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

If I can get a ride ON Dave, I'll definitely come.

Jeez, Sal. I thought we kept this private....

[Vectorman0]

I really hope to make it to this. I can't give my guarantee yet, but it's on my Calendar and I should be able to make it work.

[GnawRadar]

I'm sorry I spilled the beans about our secret.

Update:

I overhauled the Robocop and RadMobile cabs; well - at least the parts that matter. New joystick and buttons for Robocop and some TLC for RadMobile to get the steering wheel tightened up. Both games play much better - I don't know why I didn't do this stuff sooner. With the improved controls, I actually was compelled to finish an entire RadMobile race - something I haven't done yet. ;-)

Also, I tried out the 3D SMS stuff on the big screen, and no - it's not gonna fly. ;-(

Oh, well - there will be other hijinks afoot.

[NoahsMyBro]

I dare anybody to try and beat me at Two Tigers!

What the hell is Two Tigers? Do I have that game? (I honestly couldn't tell ya).

I think it's a vertical shooter. If the SJC crowd is coming Steve is going to have his hands full, we eat shmups for breakfast.

Heck yeah we do.

[Schenley]

Oh, yea - now I remember it; it's on MAME.

Sounds like we got a showdown scheduled!

[NoahsMyBro]

If it was a vertical shooter, I'd like it, but I'd be creamed.

Two Tigers is an old game (according to KLOV, 1984) where you fly sprite-sized planes above warships, and try to sink the ships.

I rediscovered the game at AJ's last get-together, and spent a lot of time re-acquainting myself with it. Loved the game when I played it in pizza parlors and movie theaters a million years ago.

EDIT: But truthfully, I think anybody can beat me at anything (other than Space Dungeon - 5200), I was just trying out a little trash talk for the fun of it.

[Solertia]

C-can I come too?

[DKTheArcadeRat]

I would see no reason why not?
