Shmup gathering / tournament, Cincinnati

[wyatt]

There is going to be a shmup gathering at a local arcade here in Cincinnati. You can see all the info on the Facebook page for the event, and more information about the location as well. Some portion of it will probably be live streamed. The arcade has many tournaments throughout the year, but this is the first shmup one. Entry to the arcade is $10 for all day free play, including tournament entry. Tournament games planned are Recca, Blade Buster, and a mystery game. Here is a list of other shooters available to play so far, but it's being added to as I type this.

Seems like a nice event surprise no one here has made a comment on this thread.

I can't go to this because of distance. But after reading that game list i'm pretty sure i'm moving to Cincinnati. Is the arcade always stocked on shmups like that?

I'm not sure how many of those he keeps on premises and how many he brings from home for tournaments. The owner is an actual gamer and great to deal with, I've asked on FB for him to bring games up and he does next day if they aren't already there.
