....If the poor souls who buy these only knew about MAME!!!
They have a total of 5 listed in their Summer catalog for $2995 each....PLUS $125. each for shipping!!! (shipping is at least reasonable, but I'm sure the $2995. covers some of that as a "hidden" cost).
They are good looking through!!!

Brookstone was never known for their competitive prices. But for high power executives who has more money than they know what to do with, then Brookstone is the place to shop.

They would be good prices for original cabinets in nice condition - but for cheap knock-off's running (no doubt) non-original gameboards? what a rip

To us, yes, a rip off. To a portion of their market, likely not. I bet they sell a ton of them. Just like I bet they sell a fair number of the $6,000 Golden Tees in the same sales ad. There are a lot of highly paid people out there whose time is far more valuable than any money saved.

The only decent looking cab was the Defender/Qix cab and that's a Pac-Man repro. I made my Psuedo-Pac MAME Cab for less than $400. AND IT PLAYS 6,000 GAMIESESSESE! (that was for you DarkKobold)
