A New Electromechanical Arcade Game Twist On Tug-O-War: Divorce
It is somewhat rare to see a story about a new Electro-Mechanical (EM) arcade machine since those were long ago replaced by video arcade games but much like pinball, I think that the right concept has a chance to draw attention and earnings in an arcade venue since it would be unlike anything you »
Coastal Amusements Releases Temple Run 2 Arcade & SharpShooter
Just because you see and play some games at a trade show does not mean that those games are available right away, although in the arcade industry, it generally means they are very close. Such was the case of two video games seen at the recent Amusement Expo 2014 event in Las Vegas, NV, »
Bandai Namco Releases A Trailer For Lost Land Adventure
Not long ago, Bandai Namco Amusements Japan began testing a new light-gun game in Japan by the name of Lost Land Adventure.
