    I'm no MUSHA god myself either, so don't be expecting it ;)

    Can get through the first four or so levels without being hit once, and then it all falls to ****e!

    I also find I get considerably worse at most games when they're on 2player as well. With the one exception being Metal Slug.

    ALthough I am sure I'll be eating those words on Saturday :(

    'AHH!! I'm good at this, I swear!!!!'

    I'm the same, two player shmups and run and gunners I get a lot worse at as well with the exception of gunstar heroes. I love using player 2 as a weapon and throwing him into bosses :D

    Oh, Augmerson, have you got multiple Megadrive pads and Micro Machines? If not I can bring them along too. Always good fun.

    I do not :/ I do have a couple of Mega Drive pads, but I never got MM. Bring them along if you like.

    Also, if you have any Super Nintendo pads, as I have only 1 PAL pad and it needs to be cleaned or something and the FC Twin pads leads are way too short.

    Yeah, just for anybody who has tuned in late, the next retro night is at my house, which is on Fitzwilliam Place, just off Leeson Street in Dublin 2. It's just on the left before you cross the Grand Canal going south.

    There is plenty of parking outside the house and any car's parked should be safe as there is a Gardai station at Harcourt Terrace not far away.

    Everybody is welcome, we'll be playing games and having drinks, bring along a game or console if you wish but it's your responsibility to look after the things you bring. Festivities will begin from 6.30 on Saturday the 8th of May, I'll put up further details on Thursday etc.

    I hate to tell you guys this but Sera is actually a bot set up by boards.ie to keep us all thinking that retro games are cool because a girl likes them. She keeps us sane.

    Anyway if you guys really want I'll wear my japanese schoolgirl uniform and you can all call me Sera.

    I'll probably drive to this since I spent all my money on drink in Galway at the weekend. Do we have an inventory of stuff to bring? I could bring a 360 and controllers for fighting games, a chipped saturn with some games, and a wii loaded with emulators but I'd rather bring less than more!

    I'll bring the Neo Geo with as many games as I can without falling over.

    Sera dropped out, but as far as I know everyone else is still going. Haven't a clue what the numbers are though?
