Magic Armageddon
« on: November 12, 2018, 12:19:57 AM »
Was surprised to see the Magic: The Gathering Armageddon game there.

I knew of it -- but there are only 3 known to exist -- so didn't expect to ever see one.

Is that one of the 3 known units or has it been emulated somehow?

It is in fact one of the 3 known to exist.

That's a rare find. I'm assuming it was at Disney?

On some of the rarer / significant games like that you really should do some sort of placard or display. I'm sure 99% of the people walking by didn't know the history on that game.

I had NO clue and didn't even play it. :(
I noticed it had 2 track balls and though, I wonder if it plays like Break Shot.

It was at the show last year, wasn't it? I know I've seen it before, but I seem to recall it wasn't working last time.

Seemed like an interesting game, but I didn't see a lot of similarity with the card game aside from the mana symbols and the "dueling" theme. Wanted to spend some time figuring it out, but I was beguiled by the Omega Race cockpit.
