The 10th-anniversary edition of EAG Show was an overwhelming success for Sega. The company showcased a huge range of premier products from all significant amusements genres.
“Our stand was buzzing with visitors! Brand new games such as House of the Dead Scarlet Dawn were busy throughout the show with excited visitors queuing to experience the horror spectacle. Based on the high demand and great comments such as ‘best House of the Dead ever’ and ‘most immersive theatre game on the market’ it’s clear this blockbuster brand is a powerhouse at attracting players.” Says Lester Travasso, Sales & Marketing Executive at Sega.
Also unveiled for the first time at EAG was ATV Slam, taking All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) racing to a whole new level, with a life-size quadbike mounted on a custom developed motion platform. “Positive reviews at EAG and strong initial income reviews are proving this is a must-have motion racing game,” says Justin Burke, General Manager at Sega. Sega also presented its big licenced video game TRANSFORMERS Shadows Rising an action-packed, rail-blaster shooting game and Daytona Championship USA in a new compact 42” standard cabinet.
There were plenty of new redemption titles for operators to choose from on Sega’s booth. Masters of innovation, ICE reinvented the classic ‘whacker’ game with Whack A Clown bringing a fun new twist and excitement to the game, which is presented in a beautiful carnival themed cabinet. Whack A Clown was a big hit with operators and players alike. Taking the show by storm was ICE’s Super Kixx Pro, as one visitor described it “the most exciting and innovative table football game to hit the market in decades.” Also new from ICE was Waterfuls, bringing the Tomy classic kids’ game to the arcade featuring virtual water; along with Tons of Tickets, a self-refilling RFID chipped ticket crane.
Sega’s European debut for Pixel Chase was welcomed by operators. The brand-new skill-based ticket redemption saw visitors throw as many balls into the 4x4 LED lit target holes within the time limit. The impressive slick ‘modern retro’ cabinet with bright LED lighting enticed visitors, to have a play. Other European first include Sega’s Ball Runner, Hot Racers and Sonic Kids Basketball, that all got glowing reviews from visitors.
