Arcade Cabinets / Tables

Post by CopperTom »

I was wondering if anyone has an arcade cabinet at home? Are they headache? Worth having? I am contemplating buying a table unit. I'm considering buying something like this, but can play multiple games.

We have the Arcade 1 Up Marvel Superheroes Cab. It was a big hit with the kids but it only has three games and they lost interest pretty quick. I figured I'd never buy another one but I'm getting them the MVSX SNK this year for Christmas since there is no way I'm going to find them a PS5. It comes with 50 games and it looks super easy to soft mod and add more games with just a USB drive. I think it will hold their interest longer and if I can add games mine too.

A cab with Metal Slug and King of Fighters would be amazing. Dad of the year stuff right there, Bada!

Seems like a downgrade from modern televisions.

1981 Eight Ball pinball machine, though it’s currently being cared for by a family member (moving it from the Midwest to the PNW felt a little scary to me). One of my favorite things, and I miss it.

Not my photo, but the same model.

Someday I would love to get a pinball machine or two, but it's not really practical right now.
