Backglass support for Arcooda Pinball Arcade tables

May 11, 2017

Backglass animations are now complete for a number of Arcooda Pinball Arcade games.

So far, 12 tables in Arcooda Pinball Arcade’s library of games have received backglass animations – and there is plenty more to come.

Arcooda joined forces with FarSight Studios, the creators of The Pinball Arcade, in December last year to create Arcooda Pinball Arcade – a collection of over 70 games that are unique to Arcooda Video Pinball and other Arcooda arcade machines.

While many of the games in Arcooda Pinball Arcade are already well-known and loved, such as The Addams Family, the software enhancements being made to each is what sets them apart from other digital versions.

Since December, FarSight has been writing new software code to enhance the games in Arcooda Pinball Arcade.

This will allow for power management of coils, lights and various motors – meaning the cabinet will light up and shake at intervals where the game allows for it – new camera angles and 3D support, full touchscreen support and backglass support on all tables.

Games to receive a backglass animation so far include: Cactus Canyon, Ciqus Votaire, Attack From Marks, Doctor Who and Doctor Who Master of Time, Terminator 2 Judgement Day and Teed Off.

Arcooda’s Anti-Cheater Alarm system

May 9, 2017

The Arcooda Anti-Cheater Alarm.

Arcooda values its customers and their concerns about being cheated out of coin-operated machine income. This is why we have created an anti-cheater device.

Arcooda’s Anti-Cheater Alarm system has been designed to stop and deter thieves armed with EMP Jammers or Slot Jammers from robbing coin-operated gaming machines.

“We receive regular calls to our office from customers who believe they are being cheated,” Arcooda CEO Steve Josifovski said.

“Many times, the machine has simply just overpaid.

“But other times, income is missing from the cashbox resulting in staff mistrust.

“With the Arcooda Anti-Cheater Alarm, you eliminate customers using cheater products to receive free credits.

“Since the alarm will sound immediately once the cheater is detected, they will see your venue too difficult to cheat and will move to the next venue.”

We unveiled the Anti-Cheater Alarm in our first video Checkpoint, but have also put together a second video showing you just how easy it is to use.

Cheating devices are increasingly being used by thieves to steal from coin-operated machines.

These devices send an electronic signal to the pay in module, which is detected as a payment by the machine.

This gives the cheater free credit on the machine.

When a machine has the Arcooda Anti-Cheater Alarm installed, and it detects an electric signal being sent from the cheater device, a loud alarm is triggered.

This will alert staff of the cheater’s presence.

The alarm may be mounted on the interior or exterior of the machine.

An internal counter keeps track of the number of times a cheater device has been detected – so if a machine is rented to a venue, you can keep track of attempted thefts.

We want you to join the discussion. Ask a question, post a comment or send us a message about our products and Checkpoint videos on Arcooda’s Facebook, Twitter or YouTube pages.

Arcooda Pinball Arcade Updates

December 12, 2016

We have received a number of inquiries requesting further information on Arcooda Pinball Arcade, the latest video pinball software to be added to our Arcooda Arcade and Pinball machines.

Please note the following;

Both the Arcooda Video Pinball Machine and Arcooda Pinball Arcade Software are in prototype mode. The Arcooda Pinball Arcade software is currently being upgraded and modified to match our full sized Arcooda Video Pinball machine. Functions in the game software will now allow functions on the actual machine to work – for example, the shaker motor in the game software will now allow the shaker motor on the full sized machines to operate.
Arcooda Pinball Arcade is software only and is a collaboration between Arcooda and FarSight Studios to create the most advanced video pinball experience. Over 70 The Pinball Arcade titles will be included on Arcooda Pinball Arcade (review full list below). This will be part of a software range made exclusively available on Arcooda’s arcade and pinball machine product line.
For Arcooda Video Pinball machine functionality, we will shortly ask our members to vote and comment on the features they would like included on the machine. This feedback will be very important, as it will come down to costs and interest. For instance, whilst we can add a cutting edge topper on the machine, are our clients willing to pay for this feature?
During the IAAPA Attractions Expo we displayed a variety of game software titles, and periodically we showed the PC original version of “The Pinball Arcade” Steam edition, against the prototype Arcooda Pinball Arcade (please review above photo). At the time of the IAAPA, we could only demonstrate stage one of the updates – 3 screen support, and one full sized table view. At launch, we will have a number of different camera angles, including some special features.
The Arcooda Pinball Arcade software will be uniquely different to the current “The Pinball Arcade” software and as such, existing FarSight Studio customers will not be able to port over their account/software for free. However, Arcooda will offer very generous software credits and discounts.
All our machines are being built with community support. Join our discussions and let us know what you like and what improvement you would like to see. We are trying to build the most advanced (and best) multi function video pinball machine for both the home and coin operated market, both products to be released in 2017
We will be making regular press announcements over these next weeks, including distributor information on where you can purchase the machines.

Thank you for your continued support.
