Greg Appleton, the gaming arcade owner, shares that the game has become very popular and that the standard battle pod was shipped from Queensland.
"It is a rare and a special game and it's rumoured that there are only three such games in the country. Negotiations are on for the other one and we may have an addition at our arcade soon," he said.
The popular gaming arcade has reopened inside the Workers Club Arena in a "bigger and better way". The 1300 square meters premises includes a bowling alley, video games and cafe.

Mr Appleton has a passion for gaming and started the classic old-style video gaming arcade in June 2019 after he saw a hole in the market.
He has been collecting games for many years and wanted to share his passion with Goulburn and provide another activity for young people in the city at the same time.
The arcade has several high-end retro machines, the big Daytonas, and two Sega Rallies. Some of the machines are close to 700kg.
It also has a huge collection of shooters, Lethal Weapon and Mario 2s, lots of racing games, a pinball machine, and a fishing game for younger kids.
Greg says that the community's response to the opening at a new location has been great. "Community has been very supportive of us and everyone is enjoying the new additions like games and bowling here," he added.
"The school holidays are on and it's turning out to be a popular hangout place for the kids."
