GUESS WHO FORGOT MY BIRTHDAY LAST WEEK
bluemeep's Destructoid Blog
I saw one of those puppies at Target last year. Tempting as all hell. *Technically* it'd be cheaper to throw together a MAME cabinet on your own, but not all of us (IE, me) have the skills to build such a thing.

tho that one seems newer.. I seen one with like a cartage slot for the game sets.
anyway. those cabinets are shitty in construction. best keep away.

I like that you have a big list of games but it doesn't include Bust A Move, the game being played on the cabinet in both of the photos.

Looks decent enough, but I'll stick to my dedicated Pac Man and Centipede cabinets, thanks.

Ok y'all... Street Fighter II's on that list.. y'all know what that means. May will be here before you know it.
tehdopefish's Destructoid Blog

galagabug 's Destructoid Blog
these things are shyt. seriously. lousy controls, cheaper construction.. and almost the same price as a dream authentics. DIY and do it right, or buy it right, but don't settle on this.
