History

The Photo Play Pro generation was released in 2007 with a new more powerful computer called the Powercube Pro. This was also the first collection to feature flat-screen LCD monitor on all its terminals.

With the Apple iPhone coming out in 2007, touch screen arcades machines lost their novelty almost overnight. The initial Pro generation had some popularity, but subsequent Pro II generation ended up with Funworld on the brink of bankruptcy being acquired by Quanmax. After this, Quanmax upgraded to the Pro III generation with a new PC hardware and bigger monitors in the same cabinets, but these also barely sold and thus ended the Photo Play era.
