Coffee table for the aeroplane enthusiast

From the house of Bizarre Bazaar comes this turbine table, taken from a 60’s jet engine. Made from Titanium and Steel, it’s up for grabs from 1stdibs.

A seriously manly looking coffee table!

This is so far wrong, it wraps all the way round to being totally right.

Official Pacman website updated

pacman_30th.jpg

From Arcadeheroes.com

Bandai Namco isn’t done gearing up for the 30th anniversary of their signature character Pac-Man yet, as they have now launched two websites (which include a countdown to that anniversary) dedicated to the iconic guy. PacMan.com can be found in both English and Japanese, with the sites differing quite a bit depending upon the language. Currently the Japanese site has a better design with more content but both cover a history of the game, let you download PC-based or mobile Pac-Man games and even provide a source for official Pac-Man gear. Hopefully the English site will soon add the historical look at the game that the Japanese site has, which covers every Pac-Man game released since it was called Puckman.

At the moment both sites feature a countdown (currently set at 45 days) for the arrival of the anniversary, where I imagine that they will then update the sites to include information on the new Pac-Man Battle Royale arcade game and perhaps some other things.

Arcane arcade table - updates and new photos

We’ve recently been working on some some subtle changes to the Arcane surface tension table and have just delivered the first. The visible changes are the keyboard/mouse/stuff storage, hi-gloss sides and the slightly longer control panel housing 2 x 7-button layouts and a spinner. The 7-button layout enables you to play using the choice of NeoGeo-style 4-button or Streetfighter2 style 6-button arrangement. As usual, 2 of the buttons double up as mouse buttons so you can navigate windows using the trackball.

We also managed to find the time to do a photo shoot.

This particular system had a little more grunt than the standard. Boasting an Intel i7 CPU, 8GB 1366 DDR3 RAM and 256GB SSD… all housed in the mighty Shuttle SX58H7. Oh, and a 26″ LCD.

You can see more on the surface-tension flickr page. The website updates will follow soon.

Street Fighter IV due for iPhone release next month

Everything is being released for iPhone these days, so why should Ken and Ryu miss out on a piece of the action?

It is reported that this is no quick port. A lot of time and effort has gone into making a decent version suitable for this type of device. The jury is out on how the controls will handle on this one… after all, without those the game is nothing.

The VIP Kicker football table beats everything else we’ve seen so far for blatant bling factor.

We can also produce custom control panels if you want something different again.

Of course it’s not ALL about the hangUPs… you should take a browse through the rest of the wares. He’s got a good range of chip music and some nice prints too… amongst other things.
