I’m running a few days behind on this news, but two UK-based distributors (Electrocoin and UDC) held their 35th annual Park Avenue Open Day. This is where some new games for the amusement business were put on display, including some titles we might see further West at some point. Let’s take a look. As a [...]
If you follow arcades to any degree then you know who Taito is – even if you don’t then you should at least know Space Invaders or Arkanoid (if it’s still a no, then I can’t help you). Their video arcade output has diminished in recent years although it hasn’t completely evaporated, the company showing [...]
More gaming goodness is headed to arcades here in the West, so let’s dive into it: Galaxy Rangers Coming To The US Via Coastal Amusements Jdevy found something interesting that I had just brought up this weekend when discussing some new games that are now available in Europe – a listing for Galaxy Rangers by [...]
This week will see the arrival of Amusement Expo International 2022, a tradeshow that typically takes place every March in Las Vegas. Every once in a while it is held elsewhere, such as New Orleans back in 2020, but this year it is in Vegas as usual. It technically started today with different seminars taking [...]
Welcome to Newsbytes, a collection of news from around the arcade & pinball world. Stay tuned next week for Amusement Expo 2022 – while I don’t expect a deluge of new-new games appearing there, it’s still a tradeshow and should have some fun things to see.

I was going to cover the EAG 2022 show for a Newsbytes, but I really couldn’t find much else to talk about for that post, so I figure it’s better to separate that out and give the show it’s own focus for the follow-up. This will also allow me to pack-in more info. 3/8 – [...]
It’s a new year, and with arcade news being a tiny bit slow, I figured it would be a good time to bring an old article series back – looking at arcade anniversaries. This time I’m going to cover major games that are turning 25 (1997), 40 (1982) and 50 (1972), since we can now [...]
It’s time to present more news from the IAAPA 2021 tradeshow that took place a couple of weeks ago, with a strong focus on touring the different booths that were there. If you missed part 1 of this coverage, then click here. Otherwise, let’s get to it! I’m going to do these in order that [...]
Welcome to Newsbytes, a weekend collection of news from around the arcade & pinball worlds. It’s been a bit slow in this regard for the past few weeks, which is why it’s been a little while since we’ve done it, but I was able to cobble together just enough to go to the wire this [...]
While it’s been a while since we’ve talked about tradeshows on the blog here, it’s been a little longer since we’ve discussed a certain company by the name of Wahlap. Based out of China, they made waves several years ago at IAAPA when they showed up with the Ridge Racer-like game Storm Racer, and we’ve [...]
