Title: Miniature Arcade Cabinet Kickstarter
Post by: JimmyU on October 17, 2017, 04:18:35 pm

I just saw this on Polygon (https://www.polygon.com/2017/10/17/16488594/atari-replicades-arcade-cabinet-collectors-replica-centipede).  At $160, I think they're too much, but at $90 they might be worth it. Control might be a little difficult with that tiny trackball though. I'm interested to see what they're using to run the games though. What do you guys think?

Kickstarter. Pffffft. They should rename it money grabber. Super early bird is code for "you will never get the item you paid for".

I don’t get the appeal.

I could just see someone at a desk job keeping one of these things on display for their amusement.

Dont see the point tbh.

Yeah a novelty to sit on a desk but thats about it.

If I had a office I would have a cocktail cabinet
