Aruze is a Japanese pachinko and slot machine manufacturer. They came to the attention of Western gamers in 2000, when they bought out the video game company SNK, maker of the popular Neo-Geo. In exchange for the use of SNK's popular characters on their pachinko and slot machines, and a few sub-par games for the Neo-Geo, Aruze held on to SNK's IPs until SNK reformed as Playmore and bought them back in 2001. Apparently, Aruze enjoyed their short stint as a video game manufacturer, since they have announced in August of 2004 the production of the AP-3 arcade system; their modern, Linux-based equivalent to SNK's recently-retired Neo-Geo MVS arcade system. Aruze is also developing a line of flat screen JAMMA arcade cabinets called SlimStreet, that are only 480mm deep. Whether or not dedicated AP-3 machines will exclusively use SlimStreet cabinets remains to be seen. ...more on Wikipedia about "Aruze"
