Arcade Stands Coming Soon.

There has been a small delay in the manufacturing of our stands.  We hope to have them available in the next 2-3 weeks.

We are proud to announce 2 new stands for our systems coming in April. The first stand is designed for the Arcade-in-a-Box system, and the second will fit the Jamma and Neo-Geo systems. The stands will come in black with your choice of t-molding color and will probably retail for $99 plus shipping. The stands will come flat shipped, and easy to assemble with just a screwdriver. These stands are sturdy, and will not move with the most aggressive players. The stand features one shelf in middle for storage and an open back design to allow a seperate stand for your proejector or audio equipment. As always, we can custom make stands if you already have an arcade controller you want to use, just send us the dimensions, and we can give you a quote.

Congratulations to University of Florida Gators!

Arcade-In-A-Box presents this custom home arcade piece featuring the University of Florida colors.

For fans of other schools, Arcade-In-A-Box can create color themes matching their schools too, as well as provide decals that can be attached to the units for the ultimate college sports fan.

Arcade-In-A-Box in Local Tucson Paper

The Arizona Daily Star has done a very nice piece on the Arcade-In-A-Box and it's owner. It was printed in the business section of the Friday, Dec 8th Morning Issue of the paper. You can also see part of the story here http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/hourlyupdate/159396 However, this is not the whole story, and at the time of this posting, did not go through final editing.

We are honored to have been featured in the paper, and it was a pleasure to have Levi Long and photographer Kelly over to our shop for photos and the interview.

Many thanks to James Hills (www.marketinghelpnet.com), Kevin Steele (www.Gameroommagazine.com), and Rich Rochlin. All of these people were interviewed for the piece and we can't thank them enough for their kind words on the product.

New Jamma Boxes Coming Soon

We are working on 2 new Jamma Boxes. Both of these units will be designed to work with the Ultimate Arcade II Cabinet Kit. For those of you that would rather have a full size cabinet, there is nothing better than using real arcade boards with it.

This unit will come in a home and coin-op version.

Home Version:

• Coin-In Buttons
• Hinged top for quick and easy game swapping

Coin Op Version:

• Coin in buttons are removed, and wires are installed to connect to the systems coin mech.
• Locked hinged top. Still making it easy to swap games, but keeps everything secure on the inside.

More news about this product coming in the next few weeks.

Xbox 360 Controller On The Way

Within the next week we will have a few options available for the XBOX 360. These joysticks are designed with Xbox Live Arcade titles in mind.

SPECS:

• 8 way arcade joystick
• Classic 6 button fighter setup
• Guide, Start and Back buttons.
• Wired and Windows XP Compatible
• Front Headset Jack (Will not work with the official 360 headset. We do include a free headset)

OPTIONS:

• 360 Fighter Stick
• 360 Dual Stick (Second joystick added for Robotron and SmashTV type games)
• 360 Fighter Kit (Includes wood, t-molding, joystick and buttons)
• 360 Dual Kit (Includes wood, t-molding, joysticks and buttons)

Available October 18th, 2006

Arcade-In-A-Box Trailer Video is now online. We are working on more videos to show the full power of all of our systems, and everything they are capable of.

Interview with Arcade-In-A-Box Owner, Ed Farias

Ed Farias was interviewed by Gamerz-Edge (http://www.gamerz-edge.com/features/articles/090406aiab.html) regarding Arcade-In-A-Box, future plans for the company and more. Additionally, the site wrote an introduction explaining some of the issues regarding software piracy of classic games vs the legal ways to play classic games, including GameTap and Xbox Live Arcade.


Gamerz-Edge: Who is your main audience?

Ed Farias: Anyone that remembers how thrilling it was to play games in arcades. Remember using your hard earned cash to play for as long as you could for bragging rights when you got that top score. It’s for the retro gamer looking for an alternative to the upright cabinet, but who still wants to enjoy classic and modern games with authentic arcade controls.

Arcade-In-A-Box supports GameTap as well as PC compilations such as those from Midway, Namco, Atari and modern retro-remakes from sites such as Alawar, Real Arcade, and Reflexive.
