Players, collectors and operators now have a new way to discover out-of-home entertainment venues and services: BlueBurst.gg.
What is the BlueBurst arcade directory?
Founded by Khalill Marsh, BlueBurst was created as a way to connect players around the world. The project responds to the way social media has scattered gaming communities, making face-to-face matchmaking for fighting games harder to organise.
The directory is still in its early stages, and its usefulness will depend on players, collectors and operators adding more information. Users can submit locations, helping build a broader listing of places to play and meet. It is a useful complement to browsing arcade news and gaming coverage when planning a visit or looking for a local community.
More than arcade venues
BlueBurst is intended to cover more than traditional arcade locations. The planned scope includes game retailers, trading-card and tabletop-gaming shops, repair businesses and other out-of-home entertainment services.
That wider approach gives the project value as an out-of-home entertainment directory at a time when many gaming activities have shifted into the home. For operators and collectors, it may also make it easier to find specialist services, including arcade repairs and maintenance or arcade parts and controls.
Tournaments, events and communities
The website also includes a tournament payout calculator and articles about organising tournaments. Separate categories are available for gaming events and communities, giving organisers and participants additional ways to share information.
As with any new directory, its coverage will improve through contributions. Arcade fans can also explore the arcade-machine buying guide when considering equipment for a home, venue or community space.
