The Giz Wiz Show 1683, July 13th 2018 Independent Show #166
July 12, 2018 Post a Comment The Giz Wiz Show recently started it's13th year or production, and it's fourth year of Independent Production! (The first show was February 20th, 2006.) That's thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters! If it wasn't for them, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv You can also contribute just once via the PayPal link that's there too. And thank you for doing that! Our show wouldn't exist without our viewer's support, but a bit more support would be a big help. (As we can say honestly “asking for more Patreon supporters is not to make money”, it helps us lose less money doing The Giz Wiz. Thanks!)
Okay, it's July, time for a visit to the annual fun event: Sweet Suite - Tech & Toys!
First a look at Arcade games designed to bring back memories from Arcade1Up
Toy manufacturer Tastemakers was showing their newest 'old tech' Arcade machines. Five different scaled down Arcade1Up machines are set to be released fall 2018. Most contain four popular old-time games from the arcade era. Unlike bigger, like 6' tall machines, these Arcade1Up cabinets are 4 feet tall and weigh a lot less, about 60 pounds or so. Tastemakers says that the machines will offer “the same game play as the originals, with same sounds, joysticks and buttons.” The arcades use a 17-inch LED screen for play and some assembly is required. (There's a video on how to do that on their website.) While full-size arcade games sell in the three to four thousand dollar range, these new baby brother machines will sell for $399. They'll be available in the fall.
Note: The video of the machines we shot wasn't great because bright sun isn't good when you're trying to record video screens, but we have something better! A great video provided by the CEO of Tastemasters, Scott Bachrach.
