    I'm in Tokyo at the moment and hope to get some time tomorrow to hit the local arcades and get me some real SHMUP PORN :D

    It's ages since I had a blast of a decent SHMUP in an arcade.

    Nice, Hey Akihabara had a few Akai Katana cabs last time I was there, pretty awesome. Hopefully they still have the Darius Burst cab too, it was only on location test back in December but surely they wouldn't let go of that bad boy :D

    Jammy Git too the sequel :pac:

    Actually seriously considering also going back to Japan for our honeymoon this year - but we're not 100% sure on the safety re: radiation etc. Plan would be Osaka - Okinawa - Tokyo or vice versa.

    oh and see as I'm completely off topic - heres an ikaruga video with some bad language :eek::pac:

    I wouldn't be too worried personally. I'd only be concerned about the risk of visiting Kanto (which unfortunately includes Tokyo) - again, wouldn't stay completely away, but personally I'd be iffy about staying there for prolonged periods of time. If you visit most of the other areas - including Osaka, Kyoto and the other major cities - you're more out of harms way.

    With caution I still think Japan is a safe place to visit, though there is now areas to be avoided. Personally, I'm heavily considering picking up a one-way ticket over in the coming months :)

    Useful, informative SHMUP PORN:

    http://turn.to/vertical

    Think of it as the equivalent of Playboy. Lots of interesting articles to help pad out and disguise the smutty imagery sprinkled within it's pages.

    I haven't found the SHMUP equivalent of 'Girls Gone Wild' yet... :D

    so dusted off my D300 and tried to take a photo of a EspgaludaII playing on the cabinet - refresh rates screwing up the pic, need to work out how I can take a proper pic.

    _DSC1222.jpg

    got audio working through my cab speakers also so took a quick vid using the iphone. Picture isn't great, and I was playing 1handed using a fightpad, as the controls aren't wired up yet. This was all just a test setup though, really can't wait to get the monitor flicked 90degrees :D

    Anyone care to guess the Shmup ?

    cheers :D long story short here

    Its a Sega New Astro City cabinet, I'm in the process of making it possible to play my 360 through it. The monitor can be rotated too, so once I get tired of playing Death Smiles/SSFIV etc I'll rotate and start playing the Shmups the way the should be.

    Once I have the 360 working, I'll update my original thread with what I did etc. Its been alot of fun so far !

    Nice one with the cab, I'm inspired!

    I'm wondering if it's better to splash out on the best condition cab I can find, pay a premium and save myself the work doing it up as I'm utterly clumsy at anything involving wiring, soldering or generally anything that involves me having to do anything remotely outside of my DIY/Electronics comfort zone.

    Super early research questions

    Any ideas on a good place to source cabs? Any dealers in Ireland so I can avoid import tax and high postage? Has anyone imported a cab direct from .jp? What was the import tax like (if any)?
    I reckon I'll inevitably end up getting a cab (and hopefully some Cave PCB's) but fancy some more consoles and original SHMUPS first. I think the cab will need lots of research and scouring ads to find a good one no?

    Here's my projected list of gear I'm planning to purchase next (in order):

    1. NTSC-J PC Engine Duo (or Duo R)
    2. NTSC-J Sega Saturn
    3. NTSC-J Neo Geo
    4. NTSC-J Super Famicom + Super Wild Card
    5. NTSC-J XBOX 360
    6. NTSC-J Playstation 3
    7. NTSC-J Playstation 2
    8. Candy Cab
    9. NTSC-J Wonderswan Crystal
    10. NTSC-J Mega Drive
    11. NTSC-J Famicom + Famicom Disk System
    12. NTSC-J Sharp X6800
    13. NTSC-J PC Engine LT
    14. NTSC-J FM Towns Marty 2
    15. NTSC-J Casio Loopy
    16. NTSC-J NEC PC-FX
    That's a pretty extensive list, most of which I'll likely never end up getting (e.g. the FM Towns Marty 2 and (as much as I want one) the Sharp X68000) due to the sheer expense coupled with the fact the good woman will likely divorce me before wedded bliss has even commenced!

    Now for some SHMUP Porn, and here is a video from the good folks at Cave Co. demonstrating something I've been trying to acheive for AGES!

    Correct - far too easy though, knew I shouldn't have picked the most obvious ship either !

    Get a cab - its the way forward

    As for your listing of machines - if you do go to Tokyo, you'll pick up 90% of that for reasonable money in Super Potato in Akihabara.

    It's definitely on my list, I'm getting married in 5 weeks though so it will have to wait!

    I'd need to check in about 5 extra suitcases just to fill them with 'stuff'! What about mailing back to Eire? Import tax? Cheaper anyway than buying on eBay etc?

    Japan is on the cards for the honeymoon later this year so I'll be hounding all of you with the .jp knowledge of where to go as quickly as possible so my by then wife won't kick my head in for using our honeymoon as an excuse to go game shopping! :D

    2)Drool at the row of shmups being played (1min 16s)

    I'm surprised he was allowed bring a camera in there.

    But yes: if I was religious, heaven would be Hey! Akihabara. It really is paradise on Earth. Any shmup fan must complete the pilgrimage to the place.

    A very nice French docu with 'Frenglish' subs on the history of SHMUPS.

    Split in 3 parts, video above is for part 1. Though I've linked the playlist below for all 3 parts. Check out the related videos too for a fun docu on the history of arcade games though I see no 'Frenglish' subs for that one.
