How do you make the number one commercial video golf game better?
Better Graphics – Sure that has continually been the most obvious solution in coin-op. But Incredible Technologies has gone several steps further in creating a compelling new version of the classic game Golden Tee Golf 2009.
First: Incredible Technologies has redesigned the cabinet to take advantage of the incredible variety, design and price points of flat screen televisions currently available on the market. The new pedestal cabinet ships as a complete unit without the television. The operator or consumer can choose to use any television or monitor of their choice. This has many advantages. The customer will not be paying freight on heavy monitors. Warranty service can be provided closer to the machine location. The monitor can stay with the location, while the machine (pedestal) is switched out. The customer can choose what size and quality monitor they wish to purchase with their game. The presentation of this product also increases the users enjoyment and subsequently increased the collections.
Second:Incredible Technologies has added a new feature to the game called “Great Shot Replays”. The details of this feature are described below, but essentially, players are able to save their great shots during game play and upload them to You Tube to share with their friends. What a great idea to help move this game beyond location play.
Golden Tee Great Shot Replays on YouTube™
Share your Greatest Golden Tee Achievements with the World!
Setup/Autorization Process
To use Golden Tee Great Shot Replays on YouTube™ you must undergo the setup/authorization process. Players using player cards will only need to complete this process once, all others will need to go through the process every time a video is uploaded.
Before uploading for the first time, you’ll need to log in to your YouTube™ account and authorize Golden Tee to upload videos. If you don’t have a YouTube™ account, register and set one up. It’s fast, easy and free!
Step-by-Step Instructions
When you make great shots on Golden Tee LIVE 2009, you’ll be given an opportunity to upload a video replay to your YouTube™ account. Select “YES” to accept, and enter your email address and/or SMS (cell phone) number on the game. Instructions will then be sent for first time uploaders (every time for non-player card players) on how to automatically upload your Great Shot Replay to YouTube™!
Watch for an email or SMS text message from Golden Tee.
Click on the link in the email, or enter the 6-character code from the email (or SMS text message) into the top of this page and click Go. Remember, you must have a YouTube™ account already set up.
A new web page will open with a link to a special YouTube™ login screen. Log in to your YouTube™ account.
Next, you’ll be asked to authorize GoldenTee.com to upload videos to your account. Click “Yes”.
Your Great Shot Replay will then be uploaded to your YouTube™ account. Please note that this process can take up to 24 hrs before your Great Shot Replay is available.
Once your Great Shot Replay is ready for viewing, a new email (or SMS text message) will be sent with a link to your video!
Now, if you always use the same player card, you’re set up to upload your greatest Golden Tee achievements with a simple push of a button! Note, if your YouTube account password changes you will need to undergo the authorization process once again.
And if you don’t swipe a player card when you play Golden Tee, you can still save your Great Shot Replays, but will have to go through the above process every time. Save time and Swipe It!
Third: Incredible Technologies has added a new game feature called closest to the pin live. This is a quick tournament that continuously rotates for every 50 new players. Players are competing on a 9 hole course in a closest to the pin contest for all nine holes. If you get a hole-in-one on the first hole, then you automatically share in the prize pool. If nobody gets a hole in one, then the closest to the pin, will win the prize pool. This feature provides a quick and exciting game. Anyone can win, so it levels the playing field somewhat for the casual player.
Closest-to-the-Pin LIVE is an exciting new feature that offers players more ways to win playing Golden Tee LIVE! It’s a quick, easy and inexpensive way to play Golden Tee where one incredible shot could pay huge dividends to your player account.
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS!
Select Closest-to-the-Pin LIVE under Advanced Play, swipe your player card and be placed in a LIVE 50-player online contest
Hit nine shots at nine random par 3’s and drivable par 4’s
Cost is $2 – $1 for the game, and $1 towards the prize pool – PLAYER ACCOUNT MONEY, GOLDEN TEE GIFT CARDS AND CREDIT CARDS ARE ACCEPTED!
$50 prize pool is awarded to the player who is closest-to-the-pin; prize money is split evenly in the event of ties.
Hit a hole-in-one and you’re a winner no matter what!
Whether a Golden Tee Pro or an Average Joe,
Anyone has a Shot to Win in Closest-to-the-Pin!

Pitting video golfers across the world in head-to-head contests for prizes or glory, Golden Tee LIVE takes excitement to new heights by simply combining it with real-time competition.

The Fast and the Furious Drift is the sequel to the best selling racing game of the 21st century. Drift features 12 fully licensed exotic cars, and 7 new Japanese tracks in addition to all 12 original tracks from The Fast and the Furious. The ability to Drift has been added to the game which gives bigger bonuses and better times to the players that master it.
Players now have the ability to upgrade their car by adding credits to mod their ride even faster. For an additional credit players get two upgrades and of course the players can save and view their cars and upgrades in an all new stats screen.
The Fast and the Furious is available as a 27″ Sitdown and a 27″ Upright.
* What is Drifting?
Drifting is not new to the sport of racing, but its popularity has exploded over the past few years. Drifting is the art of over steering your car and it started out as a driving technique in competitive racing in Japan.
Drifting was featured in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (the movie that this game is based on) and the drifting phenomenon has now reached a much wider audience as a result. Just like the movie, Drifting is a very integral part of the game and it will help you reach the top of the leader board once you learn how to do it right.
In The Fast and the Furious players were able to play for most damage and air time now they can add drifting into the mix. Players can try for the longest individual drift time, accumulative drift time and longest drift chain.

A Caberet Cabinet with a 19″ monitor. The cabinet is 58″ tall compared to 68″ tall for the commercial version. It makes a difference in how the game looks and plays. It is a good alternative for smaller spaces or as a cost saving alternative. The cabaret is available as a coin operated unit.
There is a alternative company making a 24″ Home version. This game is not any less expensive then the commercial version, it is marketed through home dealers who are not Namco Distributors. This is not a good alternative to the coin version, so make sure you are aware of the product that you are being offered. I have seen it listed on some sites as a home unit with a 25″ monitor. This is a misrepresentation.
It also comes as a Cabaret with a 19″ monitor. This game is 58″ tall compared to 68″ for the commercial version. This game makes a great edition to any home game room. These have been particularly popular for vacation homes that would like to add something special. The cabaret is available as a coin operated unit.
There is also a Ms. Pacman / Galaga Home Cocktail Version This game has a 19″ commercial monitor. It is set on Free play. It is a new edition to the product line and has been one of our most popular sellers.
PacMan 25th Anniversary Home Countertop
In honor of this outstanding game, Namco has designed a Limited Edition Pac-Man 25th Anniversary model. This model will feature all three classic games, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga. The player simply selects which game they want to play during the Select Game Mode.
The cabinet screams “retroville” Pac-Man with a little “edge” added for the current millennia! This awesomeness classic is sure to be around another 25 years!
There are counterfeit games on the market that are not authorized by Namco and not legal for sale. If you are not sure, check with an Authorized Namco Distributor to verify the authenticity of the product.
Global VR in conjunction with EA Sports has developed the Nascar Arcade video game in deluxe and standard versions.
You can see it here at Birmingham Vending’s: Websitewww.BirminghamVending.com; I had the opportunity to try the game at the recent AAMA gala in Chicago. Their were realistic crashes. The graphics were very good. The game is reasonably prices with a beautiful LCD screen on both the deluxe and standard versions. My favorite feature is the drafting where players can get close to their competitors and then draft by them at a high rate of speed. In a four lap race, there were multiple opportunities to gain and lose the lead. This made for a very exciting game and one that will surely do well in the home and arcade.
