Just the tip: Sweet Deal for Nostalgia Purposes
Kryptinite \| 2:07 PM on 09.22.2008	13 comments

I usually don't post about stuff you can spend your money on, but this was too good to not share with the class. Over at Woot.com, they are selling a Midway 12 Game Tabletop Classic Arcade System for the low price of $199! If you're lazy like me and don't want to build your own cabinet, this is a pretty sweet deal.

Here are the specs directly from the website:

Features:

* 14” full color CRT monitor with 12 Classic Arcade Hits built in
* Accessible AV jacks allow you to plug in and play any of your other home video game systems
* Dual Control Panel for Head-to-Head Play
* No assembly required, plug and play

Built in Classic Arcade Games:

* Defender
* Defender II
* Bubbles
* Splat
* Sinistar
* Rampage
* Satans Hollow
* Root Beer Tapper
* Timber
* Wizard of War
* Roborton
* Joust

In the box:

* Midway 42400 12 Game Tabletop Arcade System
* Users Guide

I'm trying to get Mr. Wilson to buy it so I can swing by his place and steal it. Here's hoping that it becomes a reality.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I was talking to Galagabug and he wasn't quite sure on the quality which is a shame.

Nice. The lack of Dig Dug is a shame. But 2-player Rampage definitely makes this buy-able.

Dig Dug was a Namco game and thus wouldn't be in this? :p

-_- if I wasn't getting a lot of other stuff already, I would get that. Ah well, another one of the many things on woot that I haven't bought =\

That's actually pretty damn cool. I'm not sure if it's $199 worth of cool, but still cool.

Wait what, you can plug in other consoles and play on the screen with the joysticks and buttons?
