I know for some Sega fans, hearing new hardware and Sega in a sentence may sound like link trolling.  We’re not here to bait with fantasies of a Dreamcast 2 but in the world of arcades, Sega still needs something to power their arcade games with, topped off with fancy names for the configurations »

This past Friday (the 24th) was a date that was important to arcade and video game history but I did not realize that until I saw a message on Facebook from Taito. Here is what they had to say: “It’s our birthday!! 60 years ago today, in 1953, TAITO (then the Taito Trading Company) »

In lieu of my sort-of tradition in “unboxing” new/newer arcade games (Example 1; Example 2; Example 3), a new arcade game has found its way to my arcade this past Wednesday and here’s some pictures of getting it into place. The game has been spoken of on AH before, a rhythm game called ReRave. »
