H2O on the RED CARPET at the SPIKE TV VGA's

We just got word from our distributor that they will be supplying two linked H2O cabinets for the red carpet festivities at the Spike TV Video Game Awards. The awards are this Saturday in Los Angeles and a few of us will be there to join in the fun.

NEW MYSTERY GAME

Well, we're at it again. We can't really say much at the moment but we have signed a contract to do another arcade game for Eugene and Raw Thrills. Rest assured it will be just as kick-ass as H2Overdrive...even more so since this time around we'll get to do some of the crazy things we didn't have time for last time.

  WELCOME ABOARD FLEET ADMIRAL

We knew there would be some of you crazy enough to go all the way up the chain of command. Completing the game, which involves over 50 achievements per track would be impressive on a console but even more so on an arcade game.

Congratulations! Here is a link to a video of the final two races that put him over the top:

 SUPER DESTRUCTION WANG


We just recently had the entertaining task of translating H2O into Japanese. This is our second non-English version of the game. When we originally completed the English version we immediately set about localizing it into Chinese, so H2O is out there in three flavors already. The Chinese version is doing well and we have high hopes for the Japanese version.

As always if you play one let us know where and how you liked it.

It's finally done...our baby is ready to go forth into the arcades. We have delivered the final build and production cabinets will start rolling off the assembly line very soon. Keep an eye out and when you find one be sure and let us know what you think.

 Specular Reflections
   "[Jarvis] has figured it out where nobody else has," says Ranck. "Nobody's selling coin-op these days except for Eugene, and he's selling a lot of them. So he called me up, and he said, 'What are you doing?' I said, 'Not a whole lot -- just hanging out here, writing some technology.' And he said, 'I have a project to talk to you about.' So I flew back to Chicago and saw his operation there. He said he's been really successful with what he's done, but he's getting a lot of requests from arcade operators for another boat racing game..."
