aftermac Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 My wife and I are going. So far I've been pretty lazy about getting my stuff together... Maybe 20 loose 2600 carts in various condition... Factory sealed 7800 Galaga... after that I'm not sure. Anyone have a use for a 10 Mb network switch? Can't remember if it's 12 or 24-port. I might even have two. I've probably got some more stuff I can bring... I just need to get it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hello all! Tempest had mentioned this gathering to me over at Digital Press, and I am planning on attending along with my wife. I had recently registered as I just picked up an Atari Lynx last week and google searches lead me here. as for trade/sell things, I don't have much at the moment, or anything of real interest, but here is what I have to get rid of if anyone has interest: Metal Slug Anthology - Wii Metal Slug 4&5 - PS2 Metal Slug 3 - Xbox Project Gotham Racing 4 - Xbox 360 about 10 various NES common games As for stuff to play - I have a wide range of things that I can bring if there is interest. Some highlights: Modified Sega Saturn with a book of various games - also have many legit premium shooters for Japanese Saturn. Japanese PlayStation 2 with many premium shooters for both PS1 and PS2 Japanese Xbox 360 with all of the Japanese only shooters including Death Smiles and Mamoru-Kun If there is anything anyone would like to play across any console, feel free to inquire and I can see if I have it and bring it along. Looking forward to meeting everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Sounds like your a fan of Shumps(shooters)Sonic R and i know me and Dalum would love to play any of those games you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Sounds like your a fan of Shumps(shooters)Sonic R and i know me and Dalum would love to play any of those games you mentioned. I sure am a huge fan of shooters! Is there anything specific that you or anyone else would like to play? Tempest has told me he has most every console covered except the import stuff, so I'll be sure to bring along the J360 and JPS2. Does anyone have a good arcade stick for PlayStation? I regret that I have not got one - yet - though I may pick one up that I know of if it is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 As far as myself goes with those shooters i have a few of them on the PC Engine but there are few on the import Saturn side i would love to try and i hear some good things about Death Smiles on the 360 so i would want to try that one.

Tempest Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 My trade bait is all in the thread in the marketplace section. I'm going to hold off ebaying anything until after the party. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jboypacman Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Getting closer to the meet-up guys so who else is going to be making the trip to Pete's? And if anybody has any extra Gameboy and PS1 games they don't want let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 I need to get a headcount so I added a poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Tempest i voted for both Pete's and your place but it will depend on Mrs.Jboy and when Dalum and his wife want to leave to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic R Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I have voted for both Pinball Petes and your home. Some questions and such: How will we know who is who? I do not know anyone yet and also, I am not sure I will arrive at Pinball Petes until around 2 o'clock, though the planned time is earlier. How long will everyone wish to hang out at the arcade? I regret to report the Pinball Petes has been on the decline in recent times Will we be dining in Ann Arbor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF31 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It's been a while since I read this thread (June-July). Just caught up. I'd like to meet some fellow AA members and discuss whatever. I just need to know where and a time. Thanks to all. Anyplace is fine by me. Lansing area Jeff31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we were planning on going to Pizza House for dinner and then heading down to my place in Flat Rock. I'll bring maps but everyone can shoot me a PM for the address. As for how we will know each other, that's a good question. I'll be wearing my AA shirt, but I'm not sure about the others. Suggestions?

jeremysart Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Wow, when I stumbled upon this page, I never though so many people would be from Michigan, let alone minutes away! Im from Woodhaven, I would not have a problem meeting at Pinball Pete's or going to the get together. :!: Should we bring anything other than ourselves?

You must live about 5 min from me. Small world, how come we MI folks don't hang out more? Maybe this will change all of that. My new game room needs more game nights! There's no need to bring anything to Pete's, but if you want to bring something for the group to play at the get together that's cool. You can also bring some trade stuff as I think we're going to be doing some trading. I'll have some snacks and soda, but if you want to bring something else that's great as well. If you want beer it's BYOB (assuming you are of age). Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher T Leach Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I'm all for a get together. I guess the one that was discussed last year kind of fell apart. I'm in Romulus, so I'm kind of central to Pete's, Marvin's, and Flat Rock. Yeah it never quite came together. I know there are more than few SE MI & Toldeo area posters here on AA, but they don't seem to be very active for some reason. If we only get a few responses (say 6 or less) I'll host it at my place (or someone elses house if they want to do it). But if we get a big group we'll have to do Pete's or Marvin's. Tempest Yeah, I just checked Jboy's thread from last year and several of the people there haven't been active in a while. Jboy is active, but he's up in Saginaw. Wickeycolumbus is local... hopefully at least a few people show some interest. If this thing happens....Jboy and I can car pool...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Am going to have on my old AtariAge badge from the Midwest Gaming Classic from a few years back so that might help people spot me out lol. If we decided at 2:00 pm we can just meet around the Donkey Kong machine if they still have it there. Yea sadly Pete's is on a decline but it is the right size for the first Michigan AtariAge meet-up and with the Pizza House right across the road you can't go wrong.
