SEGAbits Presents Arcade Adventure 3: Arcade meetup at Galloping Ghost Arcade in Brookfield, IL on November 2, 2024

For those unaware, Galloping Ghost Arcade is HUGE. Want to play The House of the Dead 1 through 4? How about Monkey Ball with that ridiculous banana joystick? Or maybe you’ve always wanted to play SegaSonic the Hedgehog starring Sonic, Ray and Mighty? They have all those, plus nearly every super scaler game, Sonic the Fighters, Virtua Fighter, Fantasy Zone, Ghost Squad, L.A. Machineguns, Gunblade NY, Shinobi, Altered Beast, The Revenge of Death Adder, All-Stars Racing, and many, many, many more! Heck I’m just naming off a handful of the SEGA titles. There are OVER 1,000 games!
This event requires no advance ticketing or advance access, simply show up to the arcade and pay them $25 for all day play. The arcade is open from 11am to 2pm the following day, and you are free to come and go as you please – just hang on to that receipt. The meetup will take place between 1:30pm and 6:30pm and will feature impromptu tournaments, arcade and world record attempts and the chance to meet and hang out with ...

I remember awhile back you posted that virtual tour of a Sega arcade.

Take a Virtual Tour of SEGA’s Retro Game Floor in Akihabara

Do you know where I can get decent 360° panoramas of either Sonic-themed arcades or locations, or panorama's from Sonic games?
(Preferably free-use if possible.)

By "decent", you meant like this one?

I'm sorry I don't know any for Sonic-related now.
I did remember seeing some back then but I can't recall where do I watched them before.

That link doesn't work for me.

But thanks. Let me know if you come across any. I'm after a sort of "Sonic game room" vibe of sorts.

If beggars can be choosers, the ideal panorama I am after would be something of the likes of:
* The Resistance HQ war room.
* The Sonic suite from Alton Towers.
* A Sega arcade heavy on the Sonic motif. (I did consider somewhere here, but dunno if I can use Google photodomes.)
* Yesterday's Sonic museum.
* A generic place in Green Hill Zone.

Those are solid pick.
If I might add one, I want to see Sonic Stadium in Joypolis Hongkong too.

Also I remember seing 360° panorama of recreation of Green Hills in minecraft style back then (kinda like in Minecraft's Sonic DLC), but I can't remember where I've seen it.

Hong Kong's Joypolis does not offer any interior views in Google Maps, so I can't explore it for myself.

It's hard googling "Sega Panorama" as I keep ending up with Panorama Cotton.

Yeah, I tried to google sega 360° too but it showed up R360 and G-Loc instead.

You'd think there'd be something Sonic-related out there for a 360 panorama.

Probably there is, we just haven't found it yet.

Angry Birds Boom! (Arcade) - Official Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wF1_rGv2UM

The high-flying Angry Birds franchise is slingshotting at full-speed into the arcade. Raw Thrills, Play Mechanix and Rovio Entertainment are excited to hatch ANGRY BIRDS BOOM! - a beak-busting, snout-smashing video redemption game with an explosive, competitive twist on the iconic Angry Birds gameplay.
In Angry Birds Boom!, up to two players launch Red and Chuck - the gravity-defying heroes of the Angry Birds universe - into destructible, physics-based worlds overflowing with teetering structures, conniving Bad Piggies and their evil, diabolical leaders, King Pig and Foreman Pig. The players rack up points by unleashing maximum mayhem - as well as collecting hidden treasures - before the timer runs out, with the higher score crowned champion of pig-popping pandemonium and winning the majority of the tickets.
The bombastic Angry Birds Boom! cabinet features custom Red- and Chuck-themed force-feedback launchers, a tantalizing 65-inch display with an interactive RGB LED border and colorful artwork of fan-favorite Angry Birds characters.
Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix will begin manufacturing and shipping Angry Birds Boom! in Fall 2024.
The family-friendly game is now available to order worldwide with all authorized Raw Thrills distributors.
