Most families could always use a few more places to charge their devices, so why not do it with a bit of classic geek style? RepliCade Amusements™ is a collection of fully-playable, arcade-art masterpieces by New Wave Toys and their most recent release is the Charge Machine.
What is the Charge Machine?
The Charge Machine is a USB charging station that is also a miniaturized arcade change machine replica. This unique combination of diminutive geek history combined with a bit of modern tech makes for a great way for you and your family to keep your devices charged. If you spent any time in an arcade in the ancient past you will instantly recognize the iconic profile of the dreaded change machine. Why “dreaded?” Because the darn things were always broken and out of order! Don’t worry, RepliCade has you covered there. In a nostalgic nod to our past frustrations, the “Temporarily Out of Service” light on the Charge Machine has been repurposed and is now an indicator that the USB hub has power and can therefore charge your devices.
You may recognize RepliCade and New Wave Toys as we have covered several of their products in the past here on GeekDad like the Tempest X and Street Fighter II RepliCade arcade games.
