Can't give away too much at this stage, but a friend of mine is opening a members only arcade in Southampton in the next month or so. He has secured the premises, and is in the process of buying machines, with input from me on which ones to go for.
It is very exciting, as it will provide a place for gamers to hammer the coin ops, in the centre of town, before going out for some beers.
So far he has the following games confirmed (and I have seen the cabs):
Metal Slug
Street Fighter Zero 3
Point Blank
Star Wars (Sega)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (4 player)
Gauntlet Legends
Virtual ON
And soon to be acquired:
Ikaruga or Radiant Silvergun
Dungeons & Dragons Shadow Over Mystera
Track & Field
King Of Fighters 98 and 2001
Garou
Pinball table (hopefully Playboy or Scared Stiff)
All games will be on 20-30p a credit, there will be no chavs, justa nice chilled atmosphere. There will also be internet access on-site, and soft drinks available.
I think we have the venue for the next NTSC meet just about sorted. Watch this space for more announcements, and feel free to make any suggestions on which other games to acquire. There is a budget of around ?2000 available for the remainder of the cabs.
Wooo!
