Manufacturers / Distributors / Vendors

Dynamo - www.vdlp.net/dynamo/prostyle.asp
Manufacturer of what is considered to be the "premiere" Air Hockey table (also the only "currently-made" table sanctioned by the USAA).

Great American Recreation - www.greatamericanrec.com
Manufacturer of tables that are perhaps a close second to the Dynamo.

Imagination Leisure - www.imagines.com
Manufacturer of tables that ... may come in third? These tables are a little different, but look closer to a Dynamo than those goofy ICE tables. Too bad their website was designed by a 3rd-grader. D'oH!

ICE - www.icegame.com
Sole Distributor of some rather "different" tables (actually manufactured by Billares Sam, S.A., in Spain). They have stainless-steel tops, with a "rebound-guard-rail" to keep the puck on the table. Whacky non-standard mallets, too. Plays ... like crap. What a dog-doo table.

Brunswick Billiards - www.brunswickbilliards.com
Former Manufacturer of full-sized commercial Air Hockey tables (the only other table besides the Dynamo that is sanctioned by the USAA). Brunswick stopped making these in 1978, and now only puts out small, dinky, plastic tables for the family rec-room. They hold the "Air Hockey®" registered trademark, too.

Greater Southern - www.greatersouthern.com
Georgia Distributor of Dynamo Air Hockey tables, based in Atlanta.

Cornerstone Billiards - www.cornerstonebilliards.com
Georgia Distributor of various types of Air Hockey tables, based in Buford (2 miles from the Mall of Georgia).

Peach State Distributing Company - www.psdco.com
Georgia Distributor based in Forest Park (Atlanta suburb). It appears they only carry pucks and mallets, although they have a Trading Message Area.

Thompson Sporting Goods - www.airhockeystore.com
Out of Kingsland (6 hours south of Atlanta), Thompson Sporting Goods sells darn near everything ... pucks, various high and low-top mallets, tables, covers, and other accessories. Will ship anywhere.


Games

Adveractive Air Hockey - www.adveract.com/games/airhock/airhockey_classic.htm
Playable on their website, and written in Shockwave. Savable with Shockwave Remote. Table actually looks like an old Brunswick. Multiple computer opponents with varying skill levels. This is one of the better online A.H. games.

Buggy Bop Jungle Air Hockey - www.playtonium.com/games/buggybop/buggybop.htm
Created by the same folks who made the game above, it's Air Hockey with a twist. A jungle theme has been added, with several different opponents (with different skill levels) to choose from. Not bad, considering!

Hockey Night @ Splashworks.com - www.splashworks.com/shocked/ahockey
Playable on their website, and written in Shockwave. Looks nice, though your opponent doesn't have much A.I., and the Baseball field music is annoying. Has a running High Score list of people that register before playing.

South Park Ultra Air Hockey - www.gamewizardpro.com/southpark/hockey/hockey.html
Heheheh ... South Park meets Air Hockey. Downloadable game for Windows PC's. Doesn't play very good Air Hockey - control is chunky and sluggish. Mainly for South Park amusement. Beat the game and receive a couple of "special" fun levels.

Air Hockey / Macintosh - www.accessv.com/~weldtip/hockey.html
A public beta, version 0.0a3. Downloadable game for any Power Macintosh or clone. As I do not have a Mac, I am unable to review this, but to quote the author, "No fancy graphics (yet) or sound, just a tough computer to challenge you."


Miscellaneous

Robotic Air Hockey - www.ece.uiuc.edu/alumni/w98-99/hockey.html
Robotic Air Hockey - yeah, you read it right. This is an article in the ECE Alumni News (put out by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Illinois), regarding one of their in-house research projects. Cool.
