I saw a few youtubers saying good things about them. Any GBers care to give their own opinion?

This is something I could see myself dropping the money on, playing about 3 times, then never touching again

It seems like a neat alternative to people who want to put an arcade cabinet in their home but don't want to fork over the cash for a real one. That seems like a niche of a niche market though

I've heard they are decent but they are 3/4 the scale of the real cabinets.



Keep in mind that this image only displays the size difference in height. The same difference applies to the width, of course. I've heard it's impossible to play Street Fighter 2, for example, without being right up against the other person.

They do sell a stand that makes it tall enough for you to play standing

I’d maybe consider the street fighter one if any. It’s a good conversation piece and good for drunk shite talking with friends

Honestly. Save your money and get one of those 60 in 1 or 80 in 1 full size arcade cabinets off of Craigslist.

Pretty shoddy. Artwork fades off within a month on the panel, the knob for tempest doesn't work properly, and gauntlet crashes on stage 16. Trackball issues too.

The Street Fighter cab is ok. Still, better to just invest in a dedicated preowned mame cabinet or just a single game you're a fan of.

Or wait till they're like 100 bucks.

Played around on the Galaga one a bit at Walmart.

Don’t think it was out long but the panel artwork was about half chipped off.


Frankly it would be something cool for my kids to have if I didn’t already have a full sized multi-game cabinet, but probably not at that price given the number of games involved.

If SF2 is bad due to the width, I could only imagine playing Rampage and Gauntlet on the 3 controller model.
