Take lowsy cheap cabinet, add plug and play joystick, add undersized television, over charge $500 for it, what do you get = piece of crap! The company states authentic arcade games, NOT! These are some lowsy NES games like the Plug and Plays, there are NOT real arcade games... build a MAME cabinet, don't waste your money on this joke excuse for a "arcade" Tried one today… what were these guys smoking when they built these hunks of junk?!?!?!!!!!

Your crazy, I purchased a Mr. Do's Castle cabinet (PC board missing and monitor not working) for $65.00 from basement arcade dot com. Gutted it, put an old PC in, purchased controllers for about 250 bux (X-Arcade Dual Joystick, X-Arcade Track Ball & Act Labs USB Lightgun) - I'm about 1 month (just in time for christmas) from being 100% completed. It all works great now, just needs to be pretty up'ed a bit. So for 500 bux, you can build your own with many more games or buy this and be happy with what it comes with. But to buy this for the sake of gutting it?!?! That's crazy.

Can it be hacked to allow mame? We will have to wait and see. Only problem I can see is the buttons. It looks like there is only one joystick and 3 buttons on each side. I'd really want 6 buttons on each side and a trackball. But that is just me. Au contrare! go to Target.com and do a search for ARCADE and you will find it. $499.99.

I must say that the person who said there are only two decent games on this list cannot be more than 14 because Robotron is one of the best games ever for its time and the rest are def decent based on the fact that games are placed on the machine by rating of National usage not some whim or stupid opinion This will rock, even with all my ROM’s on my PC.
