If you pull it off, I'll try to make it, and I'll probably try to talk Fastbilly into making it as well.
Then someone can finally get Ack on camera!

I was thinking maybe Nickel City or some other arcade place.
What a maneuver!

They had way too many redemption games when I was last there. I would still love to supply 3rd strike and turbo remix for 360, along with all the games on my hard drive (streets of rage 2, ikaruga). Deathsmiles would still be great with raiden 4.

I'm not sure about Nickel City, I'll have to do some scouting soon and see if it's improved since last time I was there.

You guys should go to Musee Mechanique (http://www.museemechanique.org/) on Fisherman's Wharf. I was there a few weeks ago and it is a trip - the selection of video games is impressive but even more impressive is the pre-video arcade machines. I spoke with the owner of the place, who's family has collected arcade machines for several generations. The arcade even includes titles from the mid-late 1800s. He's going to be on an upcoming podcast.

But, as I was saying, the lineup of video games are also impressive. I got to play about a dozen cabs that I'd never seen in the wild...

Anyway, .02 from the other side of the country.
