A year after we brought retro fun to the IAAPA 2024 Expo with Avian Knights & Asteroids: Recharged, we returned to bring more happiness to Orlando with our IAAPA 2025 booth. The IAAPA Expo is the world’s largest tradeshow for the theme park, amusement, and arcade industry that is held annually in Orlando, FL in November.
This year, we spiced things up with several new games, which can come to a venue near you here soon, including the sleeper hit of the show, Butts on Things. These are available in two crane models as well as a full line of collectible, low cost toys.
Butts On Things games & toys are officially licensed from the creator, Brian Cook. He was at the show (center-left in the photo below) to promote the line and chat with fans. You will start seeing these in locations soon, but if you’re an operator, we have a 24″ crane that fits about anywhere, and a larger 32″ model that makes a bigger impact. We saw many children and plenty of adults who were absolutely thrilled to find such a fun and whimsical new idea, which helps fulfill our mission of “Having Fun Building Fun.” The toys have a similar texture and build to rubber duckies, but squish them and they’ll even fart!
“Butt,” that’s not all. Another big IP that made a grand debut at the show was Liquid Death. That’s right, the edgy water brand now has it’s own, arcade-exclusive video game. Based upon our Soda Slam! design, this comes with brand new graphics (both for the game and the cabinet), all officially licensed. This is available alongside our Dr Pepper Soda Slam!, which was at the AVS Companies booth.
In addition to our prototype Cosmic Spin prize merchandizer game, we also had the latest arcade pieces from ATARI. The headliner here is the return of the Atari PONG Mechanical Coffee Table, now available for pre-orders. This works just like the coffee tables that had been sold a few years ago, and makes for a fantastic conversation piece in any home. Order now to get yours in time for Christmas!
Last but certainly not least are our latest Atari Recharged titles – Missile Command: Recharged and Gravitar: Recharged. Gravitar is nearly finished and is ready to order, with its gameplay finely tuned to provide one of the more unique experiences that you’ll find on today’s arcade scene. Missile Command is ready to find a home in your game room, where it also offers up something completely different from the norm, returning retro-style action and excitement to the arcade scene.
We greatly appreciate the support of our fans and our buyers this year, and stay tuned for more exciting news, especially when the Amusement Expo event Las Vegas comes along, where we’ll feature our biggest booth yet to spread even more joy through the medium of arcade fun.
