Fremont, CA (November 13, 2002) Tsunami Visual Technologies announced today that they would be selling the ultimate gift for gamers this holiday season - consumer versions of their popular arcade system, TsuMo™. TsuMo™ is approximately $20,000 depending on model and customization.

TsuMo is a motion-based multi-game system combining the excitement of an amusement park ride with an incredible interactive video game. It has an upgradeable software system that supports both interactive and passive motion rides, with new games available to be purchased and uploaded via CD upgrades. Current versions of TsuMo come packed with Mechwarrior4 Vengeance, the ultimate battlemech adventure. Other TsuMo software options include: Crimson Skies, which puts you in the role of a dashing ace pilot in 1937 You'll go up against gigantic zeppelins, fighters, bombers, and a myriad of other enemies all out to get you, Beachhead 2000 Special Edition, where you take the role of a lone gunner, and are the last line of defense against an overwhelming onslaught of enemy fire, and the soon-to-be-released Air Raid, a stunning 3D shoot'em up which puts you on the deck of a World War II battleship under enemy fire, stationed behind the awesome firepower of a 40mm Anti-Aircraft fixed deck gun.

“We wanted gamers to have the chance to own one of these incredible machines that are very popular at venues such as Dave & Busters and other fine entertainment centers and arcades,” said Brian Duke, vice-president of sales and marketing for Tsunami. “TsuMo provides an unmatched gaming experience that players can not get from a standard gaming console.”

Beachhead got horrible reviews(like 1.8 outta 10 or something), but Chrimson Skies is a FANTASTIC game!!! It's quite immersive as it is, I can't imagine playing with motion simutation. It would probably stop my heart.

I've played the Beach Head 2000 game and it stinks. It's like a PC Java game running on $20000 technology.

Give me Beach Head 2 any day of the week. Now THAT was groundbreaking!
