Whew...just finished the March issue and got it sent to the printer. Here are some of the issue highlights: GameRoom, March 2009 * Ritchie Knucklez: Keepin’ the arcade dream alive * The REAL Fireball Classic - A mod by Jim Copeland * The Mod Squad: Eddie Cramer’s Revenge from Mars * Coinocopia: Revisiting the Nevada Slots Trip * The Many Incarnations of… Asteroids * The Wayback Machine: Arcades - Gone Forever? * Tales of the Silverball: CSI interview with John Borg * I Remember Them Well… Gottlieb’s Lite-A-Card * GameRoom of the Month: Adam Fowler * GameRoom Reviews: Bling Pinballs & Mill Wipes * cover shot is of Clay Cowgill's Ground Kontrol arcade. Printer and postal service willing, it should be arriving in subscriber's mailboxes in two weeks or so, and will be on sale at the GameRoom web site on March 1st. (Now I can enjoy the weekend! :cheers:) |

I've got an interview with Chris Gerding of Quasimoto Interactive tomorrow -- I'll be touring their facilities and seeing what they're cooking up both for operators and home use. Anyone have any questions they'd like me to ask? http://www.quasimoto.com/home |

Not to diss your post. Just commenting: I remember first seeing a cab that had no controls, but game pads connected to it, and it just took the wind out of my sails. Still totally leaves me despondent. |

Still totally leaves me despondent. --- End quote --- I know what you mean - I'm a big fan of "big controls" (i.e., arcade-style buttons and sticks) Still, the GameGate is a commercial game console system, pay-to-play. Good news is that it allows Internet gaming, and if you've got your profile on a memory card you can just plug and go. Might be good for some console gaming at a bar, but it's not really a home system...not unless you REALLY need to control your kid's gaming. ;) The Arcade Station, on the other hand, is a multi-platform control panel and cab with built-in system and AV switcher (up to 4 systems, including PC), and it should have a really great price point (can't say more right now, but I was impressed at how inexpensive they're planning on selling it for!) |
