Benchmark Games & Boxblaster Join Forces To Create A VR Redemption Game, VR X-perience
Long-time readers of the site might recall a story from a few years ago, back when VR was just starting to dip its toe into the arcade industry again (the gurus called it “LBE VR” or Location Based Entertainment Virtual Reality).

June 2021 Location Watch #1 : Several New Arcade Venues Open Their Doors Around The World

Dave & Busters Debuts Minecraft Dungeons Arcade At All Locations
Not long after Chuck E. Cheeses announced their bankruptcy last year, things were looking pretty dicey for the other giant arcade chain in the US, Dave & Busters.

Welcome to Location Watch, a post series that highlights brand new arcade locations that have opened their doors for the first time.

2020 Year-In-Review W/ Top 10 Posts
It’s the start of a new year, which means that it’s time to recap the arcade & pinball news from 2020. It goes without saying that last year was an anomaly in the 14 years that this site has been in operation, but it will take time to see if 2021 is just more »
What Is Happening With The Sale Of Sega’s Arcade Business In Japan?
This story was exploding over the internet this morning, and unfortunately, I’ve been seeing a lot of comments on this that are incorrect or spreading the false idea that arcades are done in Japan and that Sega’s done with arcades as a whole. So let’s set the story straight as best we can! For »
