Newsbytes: Pinball Expo 2016; MaxiTune 5DX+; Breakout; Photo Election 2016
It has been quite the week for gaming news in general with the revelation of Nintendo’s latest game console, the Switch. I find it interesting that no one is saying that this one means the ‘death of the arcade’ as that seems to be said with every new console these days… perhaps operators are »

Newsbytes: New Redemption/Videmption; Pinball Expo
The leaves are changing colors and are falling while business at the arcade begins to pick up after the September doldrums.

Surprise! Space Invaders Frenzy Coming To Arcades In 2017/2018
(Thanks to Jerry for the tip) It’s hard to believe but many arcade classics that we all know and love are approaching the ripe old age of 40.

Display Tech: Holograms With Voxiebox
Arcade Displays We’ve seen quite a few non-mainstream displays get some mileage out of the arcade business. Vector monitors, stereoscopic 3D, transparent LCDs, large touchscreens, dome screens and more.
