The Arcade Future

Griffin Aerotech was started by Phil, Chris and Brad – three guys who love the arcade. Their original mission was to make a new arcade game. They did it. It’s called SKYCURSER.

Along the way, they solved some problems. One of them was hardware. Since developers want powerful hardware and ease of programming, they decided to build their own platform from off-the-shelf components, game engines and open source software. It’s called AIRFRAME.

Now, with SKYCURSER in arcades all over the world, the new mission is to lead the way for the future of the arcade.

What is AIRFRAME?

AIRFRAME is a platform for modern arcade video game development. It uses off-the-shelf PC components combined with modern software programming tools and an open source OS. It was designed to be powerful, flexible, and inexpensive compared to previous arcade platforms.
