R-Type

Irem's 1987 title R-Type is a horizontally-scrolling shoot 'em up game. Though infamous for its difficulty, R-Type is among the most beloved games in its genre. Players control the star ship R-9 "Arrowhead" and strike against the evil alien race known as Bydo.

It's decorative gourd season, Mr. Falcon!

We're enjoying the first day of autumn with a batch of our new Pumpkin Pie ice cream. Come on by and celebrate the equinox in proper fashion!

We just reached a milestone here at the factory: we've been open for six months!

It's been an incredible half-year, so we decided to make a little infographic with some fun stats to commemorate the occasion.

Our staff is taking a much-needed break this Labor Day weekend, so the shop will be closed on Saturday (9/2) and Sunday (9/3).

Tonight's your last chance to get your fix until Thursday!

Ever since we decided we were going to open an ice cream parlor, we've had a goal to craft a sundae that captured the warm gooey experience of eating a campfire s'more. After testing a wide array of prototypes, we think we've finally nailed it!

Seeing as how today is inexplicably designated as National S'mores Day, we're unleashing them upon the public this weekend. Stop on by and see if you can keep yourself from eating more than one!

Guys... we won "Best Ice Cream" in Philadelphia Magazine's Best of Philly 2017 issue.

We'll be right with you as soon as we pick ourselves off the ground.

We were honored and humbled on Saturday to make our NETWORK TELEVISION PREMIERE on ABC 6's FYI Philly. If you didn't catch it over the weekend, you can watch it right here!

This weekend we're going to use half of WALL-O-VISION to watch Summer Games Done Quick, an amazing event that showcases the best video game speedrunners raising money for Doctors Without Borders. If you're not familiar with the world of speedrunning, this is an excellent event to get acquainted with it.

Because the other station is wide open, we have room to play our first two-player competitive game: Super Street Fighter II. Come on in and fight your friends!

Happy Fourth of July weekend, everyone! We're celebrating with a limited edition sundae: The Red White & Blue combines mini-scoops of Strawberry, Vanilla, and Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream with fresh berries and a dollop of homemade whipped cream.

Speaking of fresh fruit, we have two new flavors on tap: the aforementioned Blueberry Cheesecake and Peach!

We were interviewed for a great article in Manayunk Magazine's summer issue, which just hit the presses this week. Stop by and check it out, or read it online! Our piece starts on page 36.

We had a blast being featured on Manayunk.com's MANAYUNK MORNINGS!
