Title: Who is "Team Play Inc?"
Post by: Crazy Cooter on August 15, 2005, 10:26:38 pm

Who are these guys?

They are selling new arcades but with old titles.  I think it's odd that they have Pacman (Namco), Donkey Kong (Nintendo), Robotron/Joust (Midway)... etc.

How did they get the rights to sell from so many different manufacturers?  There's no way Nintendo let them have Donkey Kong, they never let anyone have anything.  Are these games legit?

interestingly, they seem to be running on PC equipment:

which could be possible, and quite reasonable if they are able to buy licences for the games- might as well use modern, easily maintained equipment...
