OK I see they are trying to mimic the original cab shape, but it's a Bar-Top, and it just doesn't work.

Plus, I'm all for nostalgia, but I wouldn't pay antique prices for a new machine.

I think so many big companies miss the point of retro-gaming. Yes it's popular, but only because it's accessible and inexpensive. You can't slap a modern price tag on an older game unless it does something special, and this just doesn't.

Shows though how close the big names observe the emulation community..... Bar-Tops? Surely has roots in this community.

You could build a "real" cab with all the bells and whistles for that price and have change to spare. The funny thing is people will bite.
