An arcade machine of a different scale

Philip Wong | Feb 25, 2008

Hailed as the pinnacle of 1980s arcade gaming, e-retailer Hammacher Schlemmer's 150 Classic Game Tabletop Arcade is a must-have for arcade junkies and the closest you can get away without carting home the real McCoy. Like its genuine counterparts, the authentic-looking console has an eight-way joystick and oversized button controls to recreate that nostalgic play and feel.

Best of all, it offers 150 vintage games, including PacMan, out-of-the-box, rendered on a 19-inch LCD encased in a space-saving chassis. Audio fidelity-wise, the US$2,496 system is loaded with 2.1 speakers complete with dedicated subwoofer. Powered by a streamlined HP computer, it will also readily support PC-based games and playback music via a preloaded Jukebox software.

International shipping is available. However, this is estimated at close to US$400 each unit. Ouch!
