You can bring the arcade experience to your home.

Best of all: No tokens or quarters required.

I think they’re a neat idea, but I’d prefer the real deal if I’m going to spend hundreds on an arcade game

I'd rather have the life sized version and referb it than get one of these, for kids, these are okay, but I don't see myself buying one.

Actually, they're made for adults too.

i've heard a couple of people having issues with button input, in my opinion though they're not worth the price. i know these are classics but as long as arcade compilations exist on consoles those are a far better deal for me.

You know what kind of service we need? A company that builds custom gaming consoles that specifically have arcade games that you pick to be in it.

It would work like this: you get to pick from a catalog of old arcade games they offer. You pick and chose what games you want, and then they build for you a gaming console that has those games programmed into it.

Long have people purchased cabinets either upright or seated and stickers to slap on the side of the games of their choice. An emulator is then installed with all the arcade classics. Usually for less money than these are going for. That being said my boys and I played Galaxian and Street Fighter at Walmart the other day. Someone had already stolen the joystick knob off of the Galaxian demo model.

well if i ever do manage to get a DIY arcade cabinet i'm probably gonna have to get someone to help me set it up, i'm not all that great at putting wires and chips together. but some games i'd love to have on it would be soul calibur, battletoads, turtles in time and possibly tekken 3-6

This would work better as decor for me than something I would use.

You can have custom cabinets made these days. You’ll pay out the nose for it, but anything is possible for the right price in this day and age

If Arcade1UP could release Konami favorites like X-Men and The Simpsons arcade games, that'd be sweet.
