ATEI 2008 - Welcome to a new era of arcade gaming

by Graham on January 22nd, 2008

ATEI Ahead

It’s that time of year again, the ATEI show in London, Earl’s Court.

What?  Don’t tell me you can’t remember what the ATEI show is?  We had about 10 articles on it last year!

To give you a quick run down, the ATEI (Amusement Trade Exhibition International), is not like other exhibitions that gaming sites cover.  The show is designed for all forms of ‘gaming.’

This includes gambling, entertainment and business machines.  So you can find anything from slot machines to arcades, or from quiz machines to cash counting machines.  It’s a very varied affair at ATEI.  However, we shall of course be focusing soley on the new Sega Arcade machines.

This year’s line up of games was a little different from last year, and yet also quite similar.  They had a fair few of the same games (hence being similar).  But also had some ‘games’ which were more like rides, and also some new, more interactive types of arcade games.

Confused?  Well all shall be revealed in the next day or so, as I should be attending the rest of the show over the next couple of days, to get the full experience of games on offer.

    I’m starting t understand more about all of these important venues in the UK. Earl’s Court, Abbey Road etc.

    Sounds like a great show.

    Oh dang it, someone should have told me about this in advance, it seems free for people to come in and go and I would have loved to go, unfortunatly can’t take a day off of work… = [

    Oh well, hope you have/had fun G and I’d like to have full status reports as soon as your back!

    PS. If you see SEGA Race TV, make sure you give it a extensive run through, I need to know if Suzuki has hit gold again!
