Crystal Foosball Tables Suck All of the Fun Out of the Game

We have seen long foosball tables, hi-fi foosball tables and even beautiful foosball tables before, but none can compare to the luxury and elegance that the Teckell Collection can provide. The tables come in a number of different versions, but they all feature a crystal frame with shiny aluminum players—potentially making them the most expensive foosball tables the world has ever seen.

Full-Body Virtual Foosball Game Called Ukikit (Get It?)

The Wii-volution is in full effect at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program—a perfect example is this physical virtual foosball game called Ukikit. You Velcro a pink strap to your foot, and an iSight camera tracks its movement while a sonar sensor tracks your proximity. The data translates into swivel kicks and side-to-side slides in (almost) realtime. I loved playing it with inventor Thomas Chan almost as much as I enjoyed the "Moving Parts" virtual pinball game, but as you can see in the video, both the system and I both need a little more practice before we're perfect.

World's Largest Foosball Table: You Don't Have This Much Game

Think you are a foosball champion? How about stepping your game up to the Table Football XXL? There is no information about how long this table actually is, but suffice it to say— you are going to need to bring some friends. In fact, two full soccer teams (22 players) could go head to head on this thing in what would undoubtedly be an epic foosballing showdown. Unfortunately, you may never get a chance to try your skill—the Table Football XXL is a one-of-a-kind item built as an advertising stunt for Amstel beer. [Airworks via DVICE]

The Hi-Fi Foosball Table is Fully Loaded

This unique foosball table dubbed "Toto Treme Terra" is a project recently unearthed by designer Chelpa Ferro. Not much is known about the hardware fitted into this thing, but it certainly does look intimidating. What we do know is that it results in a game of foosball with some unique sound effects. An audio clip is available on the project page link—but it would be a pity if that was all those speakers were used for. [Project Page via VVORK via Likecool]

Eleven Design Makes Foosball Beautiful

I've gone off foosball since I had my ass royally kicked when playing with a bunch of friends at a music festival, but Eleven may turn my opinion around. Hand crafted by GRO design and TIM modeling, because they thought foosball was "lacking serious design attention in recent years", it's just gorgeous. The players are machined in brass and chrome, the table itself is meant to be a bit architectural, like real stadiums, and minimal to not distract from the game. It's on show at the upcoming Milan Design Week, 16th to 21st April, and tragically it's just a working model. [Eleventhegame via Uberreview]

Anti-Social College Kids Build Autonomous Foosball Table

Four engineering students from Georgia Tech have built an Autonomous Foosball Table, quite possibly the key to my never-ending quest to replace the humans in my life with robots. The funny thing is, this thing isn't just a gimmick; it may soon become a decent foosball opponent. The table system cost about $500 to build, and combines a webcam, an 800MHz Pentium PC and servo-controlled paddles to move, twist, and kick. Here's how it works: More »

Honey, I Shrunk the Air Hockey Table

You'd better hope your fingers are small if you want to play these positively minuscule table games from Japan. They're shrunken down to palm size, letting you play hockey, Foosball or air hockey wherever you go. There are even fold-away legs to make them easier to carry around. Check out the air hockey game, where you turn on a switch and a battery-operated fan keeps that tiny puck slightly elevated over the table's surface, just like the real thing. Each air hockey, hockey and Foosball mini-table game is $12.85. [Rakuten, via Like Cool]

Luxury Offside Foosball Coffee Table Costs $7600

Both a coffee table and a foosball table, this Offside Foosball table is just the thing for millionaire former dot com employees to re-live their happy days in the office. The $7600 table has a glass top, a mirrored foosball field and is hand-crafted by Howard Bushell in Worcestershire, England. Classy and tacky all at the same time. [Drinkstuff via Uncrate]

EA Sports Fifa '07 Case Mod Winner Melds Sport, Hardware

The winner of last year's EA Sports Fifa case mod contest pulled a repeat this year, managing to outdo himself as well as the competition. The case itself is covered in a textured paint that simulates a leather soccer ball (sorry 'the rest of the world,' your sport is still "soccer" here) and even the peripherals are airbrushed to match. But the real kicker is the removable foosball table atop the chassis. Almost makes you wish you played Fifa, doesn't it?

Parts for coin op Tournament soccer table


           Sun, Mar 26 2006

Hi All
Does anyone know the name of the company that manufactures Tournament
soccer tables? and do they have a website?, I need some internal coin
op parts and other stuff to complete a restoration project.

cheers
Maverick

E-mail:   derpfadfin...@gmail.com 

Hi there from Germany
Which table do you restore?
Tornado? Garlando? Deutscher Meister? Löwen Soccer? Original Kicker?
here some links for you:

http://www.garlando.it/
http://www.robertosport.it/Default_52.aspx?id=52
http://www.vifa.com/
http://www.tischfussball.com/

Hope that may help you

Try: Peach State Distributing in Georgia (Atlanta I think) - they stock old foosball table parts.
Also try: www.foosballstore.com
The original TS table are no longer being made, although similar
versions of them are being made and used mostly in Germany (Lowen tables).

Actually, parts for Tournament Soccer tables are still licensed and
distributed by Mazzco and Wico, tel: (800) 367-9426, two affiliated
wholesalers/importers just outside of Chicago (Bensenville, I think.)
Do a Google search and you'll probably find the rest fo the contact
info and partial online catalogs.  Mazzco even sells T.S. Blacktops
(the final version made) in the classic coin-op split cabinet style but
with improved leg levelers.  If you must, you can pay retail by going
to thefoosballstore.com for the same parts and a whole lot of foosball
promo items.  Last, almost identical parts to T.S. are in fact
available from Germany through Lowen or more recently, from Lehmacher
-- they're more pricey, but are improved parts (rods, handles, balls,
men, bumpers: better materials...), but the internal parts are
completely different.

Hope that helps,
- Larry "Euro-Foosin" Davis
