It used to be the case that if you wanted to buy an arcade, you’d need some spare cash to clean up all the leftover cigarette butts from a location that had gone out of business. Things have fortunately changed, and for Cyber Monday, you can browse through a rich selection of all-time classic arcade games that have been given a new lease on life by Arcade1Up.
While each unit is different, Arcade1Up’s various cabinets are all fun recreations of the classic machines and they sport period-accurate decals. On a technical level, you’ll find sharp LCD screens, Wi-Fi functionality, and arcade-style controls on each cabinet, allowing you to relive the coin-operated glory days. If space is at a premium, you can also look at several smaller units for sale that come without a riser or are designed to fit on a table for some head-to-head action.
Some of the standout deals here include NFL Blitz and NBA Jam arcade units at their lowest prices to date, a big $200 discount on the lightgun paradise of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and a Street Fighter II blast from the past that is available for only $350. Even if you’re not an arcade fan, you’ll probably be drawn to a pinball machine, like the Marvel and Mars Attack editions on sale. These are also full-sized machines that come with an attention-grabbing design, an LCD screen, and durable materials so that you can feel like a pinball wizard.
