History

Where the pods came from

First off these pods, are called the Telsa II. Most of these pods were created for Dave & Busters, about 250 units. The game requires a “Tech PC” to host the game choose locations, and do other miscellaneous setup. Dave & Busters decided that this wasn't part of their business strategy and wanted to deal with game that didn't require so much employee attention. Thus these pods were auctioned off.

We only know the locations of 180 of these pods. A few went to Australia never to be heard from again. There were other that went into the basement of enthusiast, and the rest went to small businesses that carried on the gaming boutique business model; SimPlayground being one of these places.
