It’s Bowl Expo week, and due to circumstances this year, that means it’s going to see the debut of some new titles. That generally isn’t the case for this particular expo, although it has become more important to the arcade side of the business as time has marched on.
Among the first games to be announced as debuting at the expo is a new “Mega” version of Touch Magix’s SpaceWarp 66 videmption arcade game. This one can also be set to Bar Mode so it just plays for points. The biggest difference between this and the original model is the size of the screen, which comes in at 65″ instead of 43″. Both models are also sporting the latest software, which includes a new attract mode, gameplay balancing, and more vibrant artwork. This model will also have more of a towering presence than the standard model does, which is the kind of thing that FECs look for:
Per the press release, the game will debut at Bowl Expo 2021, which technically started yesterday with committee meetings, but really gets underway today (on a related note, Benchmark Games also issued a press release today to announce a new VR ticket redemption game that they are launching with Boxblaster, but they didn’t really announce what it is, just that you’d have to go to Bowl Expo to find out).
I checked the floor plan and Touch Magix is not on the list of exhibitors. I did ask if this game might make an appearance there at one of TM’s distributor booths, but no answer on that quite yet. Still, if you are interested in this game, whether the original or the new 65″ model, they are available and shipping now. I’ve also heard through the grapevine that the 43″ was selling for a really good price, although pricing will vary between distributors (a few thousand below $10k is where I heard it was).
Here’s the press release to lay out all the details:

June 21, 2021
