Incredible Technologies’ Golden Tee arcade machines are being upgraded this year to a “LIVE” version which uses the SprintPCS wireless network connecting LIVE machines nationwide not to mention accepting credit cards (which could be bad for me!). Read on to learn more about the most advanced networked bar arcade machine out there currently.
