Facts

The idea of an exclusive game for arcade associations was born during ArcadeCon 2015, a meeting of associations and developers in Spain.

It was inspired by early arcade games like Phoenix, Galaxian, Galaga, Centipede, Moon Cresta, The End, Satan of Saturn, Gorf…

It was presented in a dedicated cabinet at the ArcadeCon 2016. It became part of the Arcade Vintage Museum collection and then other associations built their own cabinets.
