Save the Arcades!

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

Stride Gum started a campaign to “Save the Arcades”, where you can support one of four US arcades while playing a browsergame. They held an event at the Video West Arcade in Glendale, CA with none other than Zachary Quinto of Heroes and the recently released Star Trek fame. Zach played some games and posed with fans for the event and he was even sporting a cool “Save the Arcades” T-Shirt.

Zachary Quinto helps to save the arcades.

Interview with KOF XII Producer Masaaki Kukino

No VS. cabs?

No VS. cabs?

Jeaxactu made an interview with King of Fighters XII producer Masaaki Kukino. Heres the Google translation

JeuxActu: The King of Fighters XII will be the first episode to have a realization in HD. Why did you put so much time to take this course?

Masaaki Kukino: After the end of the first Neo Geo, we continued to develop our games on the map Atomiswave Sammy proposing an architecture quite close to our maps MVS. The idea of moving to high-definition is something that we thought very quickly, but it would require starting from scratch. As you know, the development time of a game in 2D is a long and difficult a game in three dimensions. Everything is done by hand, characters sets. That takes a lot of investment and time. (more…)

Shaggy from Arcade Heroes reports about a multiplayer rpg-style arcade game:

Another cool terminal game is hitting the arcades in Japan, this time it is Dragon Hunter by Arc System Works (same company that brought us BlazBlue). This title is not a fighter but a cutesy RPG-style game with a pretty cool cabinet environment, where the game terminals sit inside of a larger enclosure that gives players quite a large screen to play together on that they label the “Attack 180″ as it gives you a screen that wraps 180° around the players.

Nostalgic Arcade Sounds

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

The good old audiocassette

Prehistoric audiostorage

Thats seems to be to nice to be true: Two guys recorded sounds in the arcade they hang up (”Just Fun”, Ithaca, NY) from 1982 until 1988. One of them stored the audiotapes and rediscovered them 1997. Now they are available at coinopvideogames. Hear them to bring  back good memories how it was playing games back in the days.
