My new Arcade Game finally showed up today! One of the chat room members was kind enough to record the big “unboxing” moments for me. The complete pre-built has over 200 games available, plus you can add your own. Designed for full sized adults (no stooping over to play), yet simple enough for the youngest kids to enjoy. Just plug it in and start playing.

Case specs:

  • High Quality ¾ inch Melamine Cabinet
  • 19 inch arcade monitor with tempered glass
  • Side-art & control panel overlay included
  • Perfect size for adults and children
  • PC based arcade, so you can easily add additional titles
  • Lighted utility buttons & 2 1/4″ trackball
  • Complete ready to play arcade, not a kit.
  • Side-pinball buttons and hidden keyboard shelf

    • The arcade comes pre-filled with about 145 popular games! The games included are taken from the Atari Pack, Capcom, Midway and many more!

    And yes… you saw me doing things to this arcade that should never be attempted at home.

    I have seen some arcade cabinets like yours lately. Costco has one that has a bunch of classic games from the 80’s. I think it was at least $1000. I played another arcade cabinet at Roundtable Pizza. It had not only classic Arcade games from the 80’s but 90’s arcade classics like Ninja turtles, Xmen, and Street fighter. Pretty neat!
