Tired of shooting zombies, racing roadsters and putting together attack combos? Head on over to the less-popular side of the arcade and pop your quarter into the Textminator, a real-life arcade box that turns sending SMS messages into a game.
What? You heard that right. Instead of memorizing button-mashing combos and showing off your joystick prowess, you wrap your grubby thumbs around a cellphone controller, racing against the clock to punch the words and phrases that appear onscreen. Seriously.
The first-of-its-kind (and, hopefully, the last) coin-op arcade box, the Textminator challenges players to put their texting skills to task. You can race against time in single player mode, aiming to put your score at the top of the machine's leaderboard. Fancy a more competitive atmosphere? Challenge someone to a two-player game, going head-to-head to determine who really is faster at thumbing through small keypads.
