Hello, gamers!

Sorry it's been a while since we posted, but first, we'd like to announce that our restaurant and arcade bar, Satellite, is officially open for business!

Come see us at 3372 Canton Rd. Suite 120, Marietta, Georgia 30066, and enjoy some great arcade games and incredible food and drinks!

And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Time for yet another game on our arcade floor to be shown off and discounted for this week's Feature Fridays promotion!

This week's game is a beloved old-school favorite of rhythm game communities everywhere, best known for its unique control layout and simple-but-addicting gameplay. This week, we're presenting Pop'n Music Fantasia!

Pop'n Music is a long-running rhythm game series by Konami, originally released in 1998, just a year after the breakout success of Beatmania. While Konami sought to bring in fans of club music with Beatmania, they wanted to appeal to a much broader audience with Pop'n Music, adding a much bigger range of genres.

Fantasia is the 20th main game in the series, coming out in 2011. And even though there have been more main games to come out after it, Fantasia is the final game to receive an official numbered entry in its title. It was also the first game to implement fan-made character designs to fit in with its fantasy and fairy tale themes.

Gameplay is relatively simple: Players choose from either the full 9-button control configuration, or beginners and use a condensed, simpler 5-button layout. Either way, the object is to hit the buttons in time with the music as the note indicators reach the bottom of the screen, in order to fill the groove gauge. If the gauge crosses a certain threshold by the end of the song, it is cleared, and the player is scored according to their performance.

So come on in this Friday, 9/25 to see for yourself why this game is such a beloved classic for half off!

Howdy, gamers!

It's Sunday again! Time for yet another post showing off one of the games on the floor to be discounted for our Feature Fridays promotion!

This week's game is a bit of an obscure game. Definitely unusual for Namco's wheelhouse, this one is one of the few redemption games that don't utilize its famous Pac-Man property. This week, we have Flamin' Finger!

Flamin' Finger is a game that was developed and released by Namco in 2003. It is an incredibly simple game, yet also features a high difficulty curve, presenting a challenge to players of any skill level.

Once a player starts the game, they are presented with a randomized LED maze that they must navigate using only their finger. Players are also given a time limit that is automatically proportional to the length and complexity of the maze that is generated.

Every time a player fails to get to the end, the ticket jackpot increases, and they are awarded a small number of tickets based on their progress when time ran out. But if a player manages to get all they way to the end, they are greeted with a jackpot celebration, and win all of the tickets that have accumulated in the jackpot bank up to that point.

Do you think you have what it takes to take the jackpot? Come on in this Friday, 9/4, and give it a try for yourself for half off!
