Awesome Arcades Launches New Company/Web Site With The Debut of the Awecade AC-601 “Arcade Center”™

The Awecade AC-601 “Arcade Center” offers a brand new twist to the arcade experience. With ‘new school’ styling, a 21-inch CRT monitor, stereo speakers, control panel utilizing the same high quality arcade joysticks and buttons and ‘classic arcade sounds’ built right in to complete the mega-arcade feel, the Awecade is a stylish homage to the classic video arcade machines of the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s – yet completely comprised of 21st Century technology. There is no coin slot, as the machine is designed strictly for home game rooms. It comes complete with over 80 all-time fun-filled video game classics built right into the machine - games from companies such as Atari, Exidy, Midway and Digital Leisure.

Additionally, Awesome Arcades has included a light gun to play several Exidy titles, including Mousetrap, Crossbow and Venture.

Curt Vendel, Founder/CEO of Awesome Arcades is no stranger to the video game industry, having just received numerous accolades for his stellar design work of Atari’s “Flashback 2” video game unit. Additionally, Vendel has spent more than a decade assembling the largest, privately-held collection of Atari games, memorabilia and corporate documentation, which is chronicled on his web site, atarimuseum.com. Vendel states that, “the timing and the market for the Awecade couldn’t be better. Today, more and more families and gaming enthusiasts are looking to complete their home game rooms with an arcade that not only performs, but one that is aesthetically pleasing to fit in with existing home decor. At a price point of $1799 which includes free shipping anywhere in the continental United States, we believe we have hit on the perfect combination for the price-conscious family.”

Other principles include company President, Loni Reeder (former VP/Media for uWink, Inc.) and Director of Technology, Karl Morris (a UK-based IT professional and Atari historian). Several video game industry luminaries are also involved in an advisory capacity, including Frank Ballouz (VP, International/Merit Entertainment), Anthony Beyer (Founder/CEO of Beyer Productions) and Kevin Williams (Principle/Owner of KWP Ltd./UK).

Awesome Arcades LLC is located at 117 Duke Drive, Carmel, NY 10512, and can be reached via their toll free number at 1-877-459-1525, via email at sales@awecades.com or through their web site at www.awecades.com.
