FYI

I let Terry know we'd be coming.

I told him about 5-10 guys and some would need some parts.

Last time we got a nice tour of his operation. He has a nice setup behind the scenes.

man, talk about missed out. He showed us his candy cabs. 29" monitors, perfect condition. rotatable monitors.

$350 with monitor, but no board.

he had like 20 at one time. dude.

I have to work a couple hours on Saturday, but I might be there. But I DO have a bag of c-clips for various joysticks. If I can make it I'll bring them.

Cool......thanks flampoo. Plus you dont want to miss mark play with his joystick......

$350 for a candy cab? I'd be interested if I didn't already have so much stuff cramping up my garage...

I need to sell stuff to make room!

It's just as well that I won't be able to go. I'd feel bad about stomping all of ya'll in the Capcom fighting game of your choice.

markrvp · « **Reply #132 on:** July 15, 2005, 04:43:41 pm »

You guys want me to bring my Tron cocktail joystick, right?

I can also bring my control panel that has the 49-way with rotary hack and translucent buttons if anyone is interested in seeing it.

Please let me know.

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #133 on:** July 15, 2005, 04:53:35 pm »

HECK YEAH I WANNA SEE YOUR GOODIES!!!

awe man, see what you guys are doing to me!

I was just hanging with Nannu talking about how we should host GTGs at our homes so we can see all of our cabs. Well, mainly we just wanted to see yours.

we might be moving and getting a place with a proper gameroom so I'll host one for sure then.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #134 on:** July 15, 2005, 05:37:01 pm »

I wouldn't mind hosting one some time in the future. My stuff is a mess, though. Mark can vouch for that. I don't have my newest MAME machines completed, either, and I sold my last one when I moved up here a year ago. I should have Arcade Allstars (MAME cocktail) completed by the end of next month and Monolith (massive 27" MAME project) completed by the end of the year.

... so "someday" I'll have the goods, but right now I just have EyeDoc's old Pac Man.

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #135 on:** July 16, 2005, 10:02:41 pm »

Well a good time was had by all. We had 4 plus a newbie and prolly got another dozen to sign up when they saw Mark's setup. I think we have a first, we mamed a booth at a restaurant!

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #136 on:** July 16, 2005, 10:05:36 pm »

dissecting the 49 way. Mark's setup is pretty sweet, and he has Floyd's rotary adapter! We did a little playtesting right there. I think if we were there any longer people were gonna start lining up their quarters on the railing for next game.

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #137 on:** July 16, 2005, 10:09:34 pm »

Terry has TONS of great games (and some with some cool mods like a trans blue ball in a GT). And he has some "other" games ( the best pic of the day)

slayj · « **Reply #138 on:** July 16, 2005, 11:17:57 pm »

Yeah.....I just got a cease and desist letter from Ultracade telling me to stop with my thumbs..... Supposedly he has a trademark pending on it but is currently having problems getting it through because Henry Winkler already has a similar one pending.........

AlanS17 · « **Reply #139 on:** July 17, 2005, 01:46:02 am »

Thanks for rubbing it in, ya'll.

Just more reason to make this meet-up bigger next time!

Man, how funny would that be. bunch of grown men having a b-day party at Terry's.

I honor of your absence I let a 10 year old whup my azz at a fighting game

I pwned a few kids at Police Trainer 2 though.

thetered · « **Reply #142 on:** July 17, 2005, 01:57:13 pm »

I was there at terry's, I had a bad hangover and wasn't feeling social though.

xcalibur · « **Reply #143 on:** July 18, 2005, 10:28:27 am »

We were on the way when we stopped for gas in Joshua and was carjacked. While we were walking to the police station there in Joshua, we were abducted by aliens.
I'm glad Someone had a good day.

No, really...

I had too much PC work to do to be playing videogames with a bunch of grown men...

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #144 on:** July 18, 2005, 11:05:07 am »

X, I got a friend that's a cop in Joshua. I'll gonna tell him your place is a meth lab as punishment for not making it.

Thetered, man we woulda loved to meet ya. although once we got to the gaming there was little talking until Terry gave us the grand tour.

We got to see his workshop and some games he had in the back, plus we got to see his warehouse down the street. Mark picked up a nice cab with a HUGE monitor. we got to see a restoration job Terry was doing on a Defender cocktail...very nice.

Kinda cool to listen to him talk about all the old games and parts. I kinda liked hearing about is 69 Camaro too.

and best of all HALF PRICE...all you play for $5!! not sure why he did that, but just shows what a great guy he is.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #146 on:** July 18, 2005, 12:48:12 pm »

I'll make it to the next one for sure (whenever that happens).

spiffyshoes · « **Reply #147 on:** July 20, 2005, 07:57:36 pm »

Wow looks like you guys had a blast! Wish I could have made it but I had too much homework to do. I hope I'll be able to make it to the next meet up.

So if the saying is true, then your statement above means you're not a steer?

OKAY OKAY OKAY, DON'T EVERYONE KILL ME! HE SAID IT AND LEFT HIMSELF WIIIIIIIIIDE OPEN FOR THAT ONE!

Ya simply CAN'T set me up with such a good line and not expect me to use it, even if I'm NOT from TX and missed your good time!

Good to hear and see about your meetup, guys! Ya'll are makin' me jealous....but someday, when we have one in WI, I've got a mod in my state...we'll OWN you guys....or something

Slayj, Henry Winkler is having problems with the trademark because Siskel & Ebert won't give up the rights to it, AND they've threatened Foley with legal action if he doesn't cease and desist.....well, Ebert threatened him, anyway

Nannuu · « **Reply #149 on:** August 11, 2005, 10:26:45 am »

Who's going to make it to the auction Saturday? I'll be there! Hope you guys can make it. Lunch at Hooters is sounding good already. Do you think we can pick up the ladies if Mark brings his setup again? You know, kind of like the hot car chicks.

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #150 on:** August 11, 2005, 10:35:08 am »

"Hey Ladies. Ever play with one that goes 49 ways?"

Anybody need a 19" arcade monitor? it's from a gauntlet and has a little burn, but when it's on you can barely tell. It was running WWF wrestlfest not too long ago.

Nannuu · « **Reply #151 on:** August 11, 2005, 12:51:29 pm »

OH that reminds me I have one too. If I can get my lazy butt to take it out of the cabinet before Saturday that is. NY's is working, mine I have no idea?

AlanS17 · « **Reply #152 on:** August 11, 2005, 01:23:00 pm »

I'm 90% sure I'm going and 80% sure I'm taking a couple of machines. I'm afraid I might buy something, though. The point is to get rid of stuff right now, but sometimes I can't help myself. I just hope I don't see something I like.

*Alan's Prayer*
Please don't have a Killer Instinct in good condition. Amen.

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #153 on:** August 11, 2005, 01:32:09 pm »

I'm gonna change the title, maybe we can have a mini-GTG

I need to list some more stuff I have. I'd to be able to sell it local and save the shipping hassle.

Nannuu · « **Reply #154 on:** August 11, 2005, 01:34:26 pm »

Wanting your Killer Instinct back eh?

NY_in_TX · « **Reply #155 on:** August 11, 2005, 01:38:41 pm »

I need a Star Wars.

I wonder if I'd have much luck selling my parts and PCBs off the back of my truck?

you were young and needed the money...that's what they all say.

Nannuu · « **Reply #158 on:** August 11, 2005, 02:24:43 pm »

There is a nice Dice rhyme for that. They usually have a KI, and they've been getting cheaper and cheaper lately. In fact, auction prices in general have become much cheaper lately. Not like the $10 Trons and $5 Star Wars I hear about in other state auctions but a bit cheaper.

markrvp · « **Reply #159 on:** August 11, 2005, 09:33:36 pm »

I can't make it. I'm working all day
