Incredible Technologies, maker of the popular Golden Tee arcade golf game, has released a newly updated 2009 version of its Silver Strike bowling game. The 2009 version features new options to make multi-player games more fun, including instant leader boards that make local tournaments and leagues extremely easy to set up. Also for the 2009 game, the company will be hosting a $100,000 National Championship where regionally qualified players will have a shot at taking home big cash prizes. So, if you need to justify purchasing the $4,775 arcade bowling game for your pad, you can think of it as an investment.

Golden Tee players will be familiar with the innovative control ball, which allows Silver Strike players to realistically hook the ball into the pins. Standard features on the game include five selectable ball weights, a “Vegas Bowling” skills game for additional competition, and color commentary by pro bowler and TV announcer Randy Pederson. There’s also a game highlights feature, which allows you to replay and brag about your best shots.

If you’re a fan of bowling, Silver Strike is a must-have item for your game room or home bar.

Backgammon isn’t a game we’d typically associate with ballers under the age of say 60. But the new Geoffrey Parker limited edition alligator backgammon table from 20ltd has made us think twice. The luxury backgammon table features an alligator case, Sterling silver inlaid Shagreen checkers, alligator dice cups lined in Shagreen, and gold finishes. Each game comes with an identification number etched into a disc above the handle, indicating where it fits into of the 20 total editions made. Everything about this table says boss. Including the nearly $18,000 price tag.

Do your free throw skills need some work? If you’ve got the space in your game room and about 50 g’s to spare, hook up the Nothin’ But Net basketball arcade game and we’re sure you’ll see an improvement in no time. Like smaller arcade basketball games Nothin’ But Net allows players to compete to make the most baskets in a designated period of time. Unlike other basketball arcade games, however, Nothin’ But Net lets you shoot free throws from a regulation distance into a regulation rim using a regulation ball. The 14-foot-tall basketball game comes in two-player and four-player models, and customizations include special colors, logos, graphics, custom LED display messages, glass side panels, a pergo playing floor, as well as other features. Mention this one to Shaq next time you see him.

This morning we came across Mars Made, a new Boston-based luxury game room furniture company that makes some fresh billiards and foosball tables. The company’s current billiards line includes two tables: a UFO-looking Mars Metal table pictured above and a more austere Mars Concrete table shown in the image gallery below. Mars’ foosball line presently features one table, the Mars Foos, which stands out due to its clean and minimalistic design. Each table is custom made to order, which means that buyers can select from a variety of different metal, concrete and felt colors to match the look and feel of their game space. We think that Mars Made has promise, and we’re excited to see the company’s upcoming air hockey table, coming in the fall.

Every luxury game room with enough room should have a high-end billiards table, and MartinBauer’s 9-foot Tournament Table is one of the hottest on the market. The Tournament Table features a sharp metal frame, Italian slate, hand-finished pockets, and a diamond-gauged playing surface. New LED lighting technology on the luxury billiards table called Penineon from iLight Technologies provides colorful ambient lighting in blue, green, amber, or red. German-made Artemis K-66 rubber bumpers, the highest-quality bumpers made, provide medium speed and a high degree of accuracy.

To comfortably fit MartinBauer’s Tournament Table in your crib, you’ll need a room with at least 18 feet long by 14 feet long. Matching the table to your current color scheme shouldn’t be a problem, as MartinBauer offers 460 standard colors to choose from. For $36,00 you’ll get the Tournament Table with a $1,770 tournament rack included. Although you’ll need to drop an extra $1,200 for the Delta Light Spacelab series.
