Back when I used to sell arcade machines, a decent chunk of my monthly sales went towards Namco’s latest Pac-Man multi-game piece and the latest Golden Tee model. While these occasionally went to a business, a good majority of the sales were to home users. While it’s unknown exactly how many total GT sales have [...]
This might be a little confusing as back in February I ran a story mentioning that Golden tee PGA Tour by Incredible Technologies had begun shipping but it appears that the official “ship day” for it was today. Here’s a video that was livestreamed to celebrate this official event: So why the disparity? It comes [...]
Another amusement/arcade tradeshow has come and gone, and I was there to check it out. As always it’s great to see and talk with many in the business face-to-face, and play the games instead of just looking at photos or videos of them. However, not everyone can or wants to attend such events, so I [...]
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 [...]

The dog days of summer and arcade news don’t seem to go together too well, although the desire to come across anything arcade-news related today had me on a hunt across a bunch of manufacturer websites. Most haven’t given me anything to talk about, then I checked out Incredible Technologies’ site and was happy to [...]
Amusement Expo 2021 is officially over, so with the dust settled, let’s take this opportunity to wrap it all up in a tidy blog post. I may do a Vlog about it too, if anyone is interested; Speaking of videos, thanks to everyone who has subscribed to the AH YouTube channel lately. Maybe by the [...]
