Eh, Yo! This week we dive into Game Changers Arcade. Game Changers Arcade is a custom-built modular arcade system. Game Changers Arcade is a system that folds up and can be brought anywhere with the convenience of modern systems to play all the new console games. Game Changers Arcade is a small business based in Chicago that is Co-Owned by Maurice Berry. Game Changers Arcade came to be when Maurice wanted to put an arcade cabinet in his basement but couldn't fit a traditional cabinet down the stairs. He went to his friend and now Co-Owner and said let's make this. Once it was done they had to show it to the world. Game Changers Arcade was born.   

Maurice goes much deeper into the story of Game Changers Arcade and lets us know why he is so passionate about this and what he has planned for the future.

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!

Eh, Yo! This week we dive into Arcade Arena. This is a new project in Minnesota. Arcade Arena is an Idea from Matt Ames. Arcade Arena is a multiplayer environment in which you use giant touch screens, motion trackers, and arcade controls to play the games. Arcade Arena comes with multiple games to play that are great for all ages.  

Now Arcade Arena isn't like most of the projects that I cover here on Indie Arcade Wave but I think this is a very cool and unique project that could be great for the arcade space. Arcade Arena has a ton of different applications and Matt and Tony are doing a great job with the project.
