(Arcades were places you used to go to pay to play video games, look them up.) What made Dragon’s Lair so frustrating was that you could put a quarter in, get three lives, and lose them all in under twenty seconds. Thankfully the XBLA version is more forgiving, with unlimited continues, but it was over so quickly that I’m not sure it made up for previous losses."
This is a Retro Cabinet that brings back memories of lots of quarters wasted in frustration. New Wave is thrilled to announce that Cinematronics’ 1983 arcade hit Space Ace is joining the company’s line of fully playable 1/6-scale RepliCade mini arcade cabinet replicas.
Indie video game movies might be a tough sell, but with the most recent releases of Detective Pikachu and Sonic the Hedgehog, perhaps they can work.
Firewatch could be cool, they could get the voice actor to play the role easily enough, Rich Sommer is it? Doesn't sound like it's happening though. Shame the devs next game disappeared when they got bought and dissolved, it looked good.
Recreate classic video arcade ambiance in your own home for a fraction of the cost of full sized, vintage arcade cabinets, each fully playable and officially licensed by the original manufactures.
