Could the Arcade 1up thing have been succesful if handled differently?

"Fullsized" bartops are completely playable. JohnRT's driving cabs are fine.
The miniture sized cabinets are just desk ornaments. Interesting to look at, but not really practical or useful for gaming. The hipsters love 'em though.

Seems big enough for a ferret to play. Hooman… not so much.

I've been itching to play Sega Rally Championship so that first cab looks pretty nice. Is there a build thread around for that? I can't find any member named JohnRT.

Having comfortable controls is important but if people can enjoy playing on a Gameboy then a bartop is more than playable.
The starting point for these things is that most people don't have room to put a full size cab or a dedicated sit down in their house (or their wife just said no). A bartop has the advantage of being the right height when placed on a desk but still small enough to put in a large closet when not in use.
I could see it being great fun to have a pair of linked up Daytona bartops for when the guys come over. There is added value there, espiecially if the driving cab had a bunch of classic racers. I don't see much value (to me) in a 4ft single game joystick cab.
