Space Ace is a LaserDisc game made by Bluth Group & Cinematronics back in 1983. It came directly after the hugely popular Dragon’s Lair arcade game, which I distinctly remember seeing as a little kid. Now NewWaveToys has created TWO 1/6th versions of the classic Space Ace arcade cabs with some amazing details. I love these things! More info: https://newwavetoys.com
This Chinese retro console comes w/ 53,000 games (PS1, N64, Dreamcast, Arcade, etc) which sounds great…but it’s not. Bad performance, audio issues and a high price make this a system you probably should stay far away from.
I recently picked up one of my absolute favorite arcade racing cabinets ever, San Francisco Rush The Rock Alcatraz Edition. Purchased this machine locally from a seller who said it had been sitting in a storage for almost a decade, and did not think it was in working condition. So I decided to see if I could bring it back to life! COOLTOY
I was at the Portland Retro gaming Expo I got to take a look and New Wave Toys for the first time and they had a lot of their future and current projects on display. I must say I was very impressed.
