IAAPA is here, although it’s not “the” IAAPA that is implied in most of my posts. IAAPA themselves are an amusement industry related trade organization and they put together various shows throughout each year. The largest of these events is just called the IAAPA Expo and it takes place every November the week before Thanksgiving. [...]
We have some news from one of our sponsors today, Touch Magix, although I have to admit – I do not follow blockchain & NFT news much at all, so bear with me on that aspect of the story. Touch Magix has announced a partnership with Pudgy Penguins and is seeking to bring “arcade games [...]
Bowl Expo is this week (technically it started yesterday in Orlando but it was just meetings – the trade show proper starts on Wednesday) and with that comenew products from the arcade industry. I’ll have a preview up tomorrow but before that is a new product announcement – particularly from our friends and sponsors at [...]
The end of March is upon us which means that the “Spring Show,” or rather, Amusement Expo is taking place. In the past this was also known as the AMOA show – regardless, this is a trade show that takes place annually in the spring, where various arcade & amusement product manufacturers come together to [...]
The latest product announcement debuting at IAAPA 2022 comes from one of our advertisers, Touch Magix. They have a new crane machine featuring their Carnival Cups theme that will be there, and it promises to bring some innovation to the industry. The press release doesn’t make clear what that is however, so we’ll have to [...]
I’ve been sitting on this one for a little bit but with some additional info, I’m happy to run it now. Touch Magix has released a new software update for their popular game, SpaceWarp 66, that adds an interesting feature that’s rare to find in videmption games – linked multiplayer. While it’s true that redemption [...]
Fresh off of one arcade tradeshow we’ve got another taking place this next week, but interestingly enough, it is sounding like there will be more brand new content at this one than we saw last week at Amusement Expo. The show is called DEAL Expo, which is short for the Dubai Entertainment Amusement & Leisure [...]
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 [...]
It’s been a slow arcade news week, but not to worry, Amusement Expo 2022 is just around the corner and that means we’ll have some things to talk about again. Unfortunately we can’t still can’t expect a deluge of announcements as the supply/production problems continue to plague most manufacturers at the moment. That said, some [...]
My second acquisition of the year is now complete, as I recently purchased a SpaceWarp 66 from Touch Magix (purchased through one of the distributors I often use). Here’s the video; If you missed it, I also recently unboxed and installed a Maximum Tune 5DX+ kit: I forgot to mention in the video that I [...]
