WELCOME TO AUFO

Welcome to Arcade UFO, Austin's newest and only coin-operated video arcade.

Arcade gaming is an important part of our culture. We firmly believe that Austin both needs and deserves a good arcade, and that's exactly what we're here to provide. In fact, our goal is to build something legendary.

If you don't know why arcades kick major ass yet, you can start by reading this article from insomnia.ac.

After much anticipation and countless hours of work,

Both Arcana Heart 2 and Time Crisis 4 are in operation and ready for your enjoyment!

We thought the default 3 lives on Time Crisis 4 was a little harsh, so we turned it up to 4 lives per credit. With one credit on each side, a couple of us were able to get through the prologue and about 1/4th of the first stage . . . definitely going to need some practice before we can go for a 1-credit clear.

Arcana Heart 2 is set to best of 3 rounds and is in head-to-head mode. We had to borrow a wiring harness from the head-to-head 3rd Strike cabinet to get it going, so we’ll have to rewire that 3rd Strike later in the week but I should be able to knock it out this Thursday or Friday.

We don’t have the move lists pasted on the machine yet, so if it’s your first time, be sure to check out a move list online. Examu has it on their page in PDF format here:

To help you get in the groove, here are some recent videos from Japan’s best at the famous JOYBOX arcade in Tokyo!

  • RoryDropkick:

    DDP is back up now, but we’re still having some issues with the sound. I suspect that the speakers on the cabinet are completely blown and will need replacing. We are working hard to have the cabinet back to 100% ASAP!

    Gunstarhero:

    The stools we’re using for the candys are from Ikea, their name is “Roy”. Sturdy and cheap!
