and even more. plus loads more I didn't shoot. Tekken, DDR, Drumscape, and such plus ton of pinball machines. the place is huge.

[Sauza12]

It is the greatest arcade I have ever seen, bar none.

If they have a Ms Pac Man I am set for a couple hours with 1 dollar, |D

@Sauza - CinciClassic is indeed supposedly going to happen this spring.  I just stopped over by the Yahoo group that the CinciClassic crew have set up and unfortunately the last post there was October 25th, by yours truly.  I put another post there just now to see if there are any new updates, so hopefully somebody will respond.  About a year ago, I went to a planning meeting at Scott Veith's place.  There was supposed to be another meeting the following month or month thereafter, but that never happened.  CinciClassic (traditionally in the fall) got pushed off to the spring of 2005, but I haven't heard much since.  Supposedly the potential locations were getting finalized, but I don't know if that ever happened.  I wouldn't be surprised either way if something is about to get announced or nowhere close.  Anyway, I'll keep you posted, because that could be a cool place to meet up too.

I like Freak would have to do it sometime during the summer.
If it was to be during spring it would be during a vacation of some sort.
I would also be out there for more tha a day.
And i am going to have to see if I can get Dan to tag along.
The arcade looks extremely cool too.

I think I can always do around Easter time if people can't do summer.

Why not pick a neutral location to meet, like Canada - kind of between US and UK (if you go north)?    Got the World's Biggest Mall not 15 minutes from my house....

Ok I've done a meet with quake players and I have a few thoughts on this... We should plan it for a weekend. If we plan far enough in advance and have enough interest, we can prolly get group rates on hotels and such. CP definately sounds awesome but it's also a very large place...

We are gamers given, but getting a group of us together it would be more productive to avoid places like that and opt instead for a place where we can all hang, talk, and play with handhelds or something. When we did the quake meet I took my N64 and we played in our hotel room, a shitload of us all gathered in there...lol I know there's a big group in the Cinci area so that would prolly be best though I'd have to say Pittsburgh would be a good choice. We do have a small arcade, nothin super duper special but I like it and I know the owner...lol If you wanna check it out as a possible option: http://www.gamesnat.com

I seriously think that while CP is a great idea, for a first RFG meet it wouldn't be the best thing. We should concentrate on finding a locale where we can just chill and get to know each other a lil better.

[den68]

ah, but what better place to do that then on a giant freakin' roller coaster?

if Cinci Classic does happen that would be ideal. hell, let's just all hang out at Nep's place. I'll bring the Winnebago.

Because in a park that large it's pretty easy for the group to get split up. Not to mention crowds and lines that would have to be dealt with. And expense too. For some folks just getting there would be rough.

[Izret101]

The group rate hotel idea is good. If this gets pretty well set up early enough than it will be cheaper.
Also i disagree with the weekend. Usually during the week will be cheaper. Sometimes like $20 but sometimes more.

I think that the arcade looks utterly amazing but i think Laurel has a point. It would be much easier for everyone to get split up in a huge theme park or arcade.
Unless everyone has like a cell or a walkie talkie to find where everyone else is...

[Antimind]

My whole point isn't even the getting split up thing. If it's supposed to be a GROUP meet shouldn't there be a group and not a few people scattered here and there?...hehe

I might come on 2 conditions:
1. if my brother gets the job he wants in LA and I happen to be in the USA at the moment of the meet.
2. If I can get a cheap flight to wherever this meeting is being held and a place to stay.

This sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
