Power Drop X-treme, a 13.5ft single player game on a 25sq.ft footprint, is about to enter the North American market and will shortly find its way into the European and Middle East arcades.

Said Tony Maniscalco (pictured), vice-president of sales at Benchmark: “It’s artwork and LED lighting will be visible from just about anywhere in a location. If it’s too tall, then the factory installation brackets can be used to lower the marquee to 11 ft.”

Al Kress, president of Benchmark, added:  “We have been asked by operators for a single-player version of Monster Drop X-treme for some time, but the big earnings from the two-player game deterred us for a time before agreeing to give operators the options.”
