Guest Post: Unearthing Hidden Treasure In Amusements
Happy Monday everyone, today we have a guest post by Kevin Williams of The Stinger Report. His article is based upon a 2017 post from Tony Temple (Arcadeblogger.com), where he wanted to provide more insight into such “arcade raid” situations, but his normal newsletter isn’t really the place for such a thing. I believe »
Sega Announces Initial D: The Arcade
I was bouncing back and forth on this one being it’s own post instead of saving it for Newsbytes, but it’s Initial D, so let’s go ahead. The Initial D series doesn’t need much of an introduction, it being one of the pinnacles of arcade racing that has been around since the early 2000’s. »
Newsbytes: New Bomberman; VR Troubles; Talking Survival and More
Welcome to the latest edition of Newsbytes, a weekend post that curates some quick news from the wonderful world of arcade and pinball gaming.

Will Chuck E. Cheeses Survive?
I’m not leading this story with the headline “Chuck E. Cheeses files for bankruptcy,” as it seems to be taken incorrectly by some. Unfortunately, I’ve found that many “readers” on both Facebook and Twitter refuse to actually click on the stories and read them. This modern trend of just reading headlines and forming deep »
Happy Space Invaders Day!
It’s time to celebrate another game anniversary, as Taito appears to have taken a page from all of the celebrations surrounding Pac-Man’s 40th, and come up with their own ways to celebrate the game that made the company a force to be reckoned with. Space Invaders did celebrate 40 years back in 2018, but this »
Newsbytes: Indie Arcade Updates (Exa, Step Revolution); Arcade Backpack; Pac-Man Minecraft & More
Welcome Newsbytes, a semi-regular curation of arcade & pinball news content from around the world. Normally these are done just on weekends, although with the slowdown in amusement news as of late, I’ve had to hold some stories over so there is enough to talk about.
