Arcade Heroes is my favorite source for news about what's coming out for new arcade games.

Crab Volleyball Indie Arcade Game With Dev Ammar Ahmed | Ep 98

Crab Volleyball Indie Arcade Game With Dev Ammar Ahmed | Ep 98

Eh, Yo! This week we dive into a new Indie arcade game called Crab Volleyball. Indie Arcade Games are coming out more and more. This indie arcade game I found a few years ago at queens gone wild at glitch bar in South Florida. I knew Ammar, and he said he wanted me to check out his new indie arcade game. That was the first time I played Crab Volleyball and it is a fantastic indie arcade game.   

Ammar has been working on Crab Volleyball and has finally built a dedicated arcade cabinet for it. The game is at Super Abari Arcade in Charlotte North Carolina for anyone that wants to try it. This is a great indie arcade game; if you get the chance to play it, do!
