Announcing Game Gate: Gameroom Edition



Wouldn’t it be great if you could play all your favorite arcade games in a real arcade machine in your gameroom?

Wadsworth, OH – October 16, 2014 – Imagine playing all the classic arcade games just like you remember in a supped up NEXT generation coin-op converted arcade machine that also plays today’s newest games! The creator of this arcade machine, Christopher Gerding, would like to introduce you to the all-new Game Gate: Gameroom Editon.

Game Gate is an upright arcade cabinet with cool LED side panels, custom artwork, backlit header, 32” LCD, awesome sound, and more gaming than you can shake a stick at. Playing Pacman on an iPhone simply doesn’t compare to the eye-popping quarter dropping madness of being a foot from the screen with a ball topped arcade joystick in one hand and a  Mountain Dew in the other.

The Game Gate can play all the classics, but it can also play all the great Xbox games that you can download through Xbox Arcade and marketplace including some really amazing Indie games. Game Gate represents huge leaps forward in how games are played.  Originally designed to be coin-operated, this amazing machine is being upgraded to GAMEROOM EDITION. This campaign is all about adding a revolutionary arcade panel and tweaking the system for free play, and at a price only available to those willing to help us launch through Kickstarter!

About Game Gate

Game Gate is way more than an Xbox 360 in a cabinet.  As mentioned, the machines were the world's first and only licensed for public use home console based arcade.  The Xbox game console is controlled by a custom developed control board that switches video between an integrated PC and the game console. 

Power and USB functions are directly controlled by the system, and game play is in a charge-by-time configuration.  Time remaining and custom messages are displayed in the LED matrix housed in the backlit marquee.  Color changing LEDs on the sides and front of the cabinet change to attract players.  A powerful sound system with ear level speakers and a powered subwoofer make any game sound incredible, and the games look stunning on the 32” LCD. 

There’s a ton of extra features on the machine that make it very unique.  There are two headphone jacks on the front of the machine with separate volume control.  There are illuminated pushbuttons for player selection and system reset.  There is a video out on the back of the machine so you can use a shadow monitor (so if you have big screen TV in your gameroom, hook it up to the Game Gate and play from either screen).  There are casters on the bottom of the machine for easy moving and leg levelers for stable play.
