🚨 NEW CABINET ALERT! 🚨

We are super stoked to announce that our Japanese Sammy Atomiswave SD candy cabinet from 2003 is FINALLY ready for the floor! 🍬🕹️

We got this back in October 2025 thanks to the legend 🥰 and it’s been a bit of a project (shoutout to those constant monitor issues 😅), but it is finally dialed in, repaired, and looking gorgeous.

Even better? We’re running it on an original mobo board we hijacked from one of our other machines, and we are incredibly proud to say it’s running an absolute 2D fighting legend: The Rumble Fish 2 from 2005 🐟🤜

There’s a great story behind this one. A wonderful guy and regular at the arcade, Joseph, actually gifted the game cart to us absolutely ages ago because he wanted to play it so badly. We promised him we’d do absolutely everything we could to get it running on an original Atomiswave machine somehow. We've had this in the works for a while, and honestly, we cannot wait to see him finally get to play this game on a proper CRT.

For the fighting game nerds: TRF2 was made by Dimps (founded by ex-SNK & Capcom legends) to run on this exact Sammy hardware. It uses special S.M.A. tech to make the 2D sprites ridiculously fluid 👀 you seriously have to see this thing in motion.

Come play it on the floor at our next event at June 12th–14th! 🍌

PUMP IT UP IS BACK IN ACTION!
Yesterday was an absolute win! After discovering a stuck sensor at our last event that actually turned out to be a dodgy chip on an IO board our Pump It Up dance machine is officially fixed and ready for footwork! 🥰

Huge shout out to a good friend of ours who worked their magic on the IO board to save the day.

To top it off, our spare backup board all the way from Italy arrived too and it works perfectly! Talk about a Happy Monday! 👏😀

So... who is ready to dance their butts off? 💃🕺 Join us at our next event:
