Arcade 1Up's Ikea cabinets
leapinlew:
These remind me of the Jakks handhelds. Sure they weren't arcade good, but we've seen some decent builds with the Jakks. There was some buzz around the Midway consumer cabinets, but those ended up being stinkers for a couple reasons.
I think these have potential to be kinda cool. They look decent. I think the price point is good and I bet it scratches the nostalgia itch for a lot of people. If they are easily hackable, this could be a good starting point for some people. I think a $150-$200 bartop kit has competition from these units.
I'm reserving judgement for these. I love the idea of a small cabinet in my kids room and I like the idea of a display in my office. A round of street fighter to resolve conflict - awesome.

If I can mod the rampage to play other go-right-and-fight games, me and my kids can have more than $300 fun playing it.

Same here. I don't intend to buy one but they look interesting and agree they will scratch the itch for a lot of people. I have a friend that wants a Galaga but doesn't want to pay the going rate (or even the materials it would take for me to build them one) and I'll probably recommend they give this one a look. They don't really care if it is arcade authentic.

I canceled... Mike A got in my head.
I still think they will play great, and would be a great addition to anyones line up. If the build quality is the same as what was presented to us.
Mike A:
Sorry Ian. I don't agree with anything you just said except for the part where you canceled your order.
Those things would look like garbage on most people's lineups. They are the wrong size, and you have to sit in a chair like an ---uvula--- to play them.
The build quality looks like ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. It is all through hole.
