Game Haven PC3
« on: August 20, 2007, 08:56:15 am »
Has anyone seen the Game Haven PC3 which Skymall sells?  Now, I don't know if it's just me, but even if I built this by hand, no WAY would it cost me $4000 to complete!  Gotta love skymall... at least this is better then those El Cheapo knock off cabs Target was selling.

I was on a flight the other day and saw this.  Everything in that magazine is way over priced.  Did I read it correctly that all the games are builit in?

The controls with the computer built in looks nice but way over priced.   As for the Crystal thing,  I wonder if anyone actually bought one?

Probably, but, I'd enjoy to see someone try and make one.

Knowing the people on this board, it probably wouldn't be that hard.  Just replace the MDF/particle board/plywood with frosted plexi, add a handful of blue lights and you're there.  And what's with all the exposed fasteners on the PC in a stick?  For 4K, I'd expect an unbroken piano black finish.

From the website

All Official Game Haven systems come stocked with more classic arcade games than any other system in the world, over 1000 - including PC games!

I didn't think you could license 1000 games (are there that many available for license)?

I'd like to see the list.
