Blazblue & Cave games spotted in the wild in London!
Goodge Street Station, almost right next door, is a really crappy looking arade called "Arcade Casino Centre" or something like that. Big yellow sign (69 Tottenham Court Road).
Downstairs they have a shedload of hideous sit down Eletrocoin machines, but they can be forgiven as they have a perfect seletion of games!
They have Blazblue (comedy sight-mod - LCD gaffa taped into the cabinet!) which I played and is a bit meh (pound a go! ).
They have KOF '98 Slugfest, Neo Colisseum, Super SF2, and loads of other good fighters.
I'm no Cave buff, but they had at least two Cave shooters, including what I assume was Muchi Muchi Pork as it had loads of little pink pigs flying about!
I'll try and go back next week and take a camera this time.

Yeah, that's Casino (used to be the old Electrocoin test location back in the day), and that was indeed MMP. They've had Ketsui in the past, too.

I think you will find this is a very popular and very well known arcade in London second only to The Trocadero Piccadilly, yes it does have Pork. it has been there forever I can remember going in at least fifteen years ago.

Re: Blazblue & Cave games spotted in the wild in London!
I did not know that. I've been in before a few times, but didn't know anything about rarer import stuff like ave games at the time, so it just all looked a bit run down. Now that I can see the games for what they are, i.e. awesome, I'm dead chuffed I went in again.
The Trocadero is my lunchtime haunt (I work in Leicester Square). It's nice it's so lose, but it's a shame it's so ****!

Proper sticks, and they where exactly 24mm long. And the humidity was 56%, it was exactly 4.13.25 GMT and there where 4 others present.Flazh wrote:Proper sticks, or bat tops?
Or in other words - how the fork should I know?! I don't have a photographic memory!

Well, you would know really, considering that bat tops look like this and proper ball tops look like this.Devil Soundwave wrote:Proper sticks, and they where exactly 24mm long.

Having watched the kidz playing in Trocadero though, i can tell you that the SF4 set in there now has one red gumball and one green bat-top.
