I remember when this came out. I had travel planned to NYC and made a stop at the install location to check it out. It was closed.
Fortunately, Portland got one at Ground Kontrol not long after. It was a lot of fun recruiting new people to try and fill in all 10 spots. It was pretty funny when a snail win got close and people started chanting “snail! Snail! Snail!”
I tried a tournament and had less fun. The game needed balancing and it took some time to get out there.
Still, very cool it evolved from a physical game.
Iirc, some valley-based startups bought some of the original cabinets. Anyone know which?
