Arcade 1Up Brings 'True' Arcade Machines into the Home

Owning a real arcade machine is one of the dreams we've all had right? RIGHT? Well, as you get older life and funds get in the way, after all, an arcade machine is pretty big, heavy and usually quite expensive to buy and maintain. However, Arcade 1Up may have the solution; a 3/4 sized arcade machine that weights just under 30 kg and costs just $400. The whole package contains a 17'' LCD screen and can be assembled like IKEA flatpack furniture using just a screwdriver.

The arcade machines feature all the original artworks and have true control panels and the bonus is that the machines contain between 3 to 4 games including classics such as Defender, Joust, Rampage, Centipede and Street Fighter II.

The arcade machines will be on sale in September and will be available across the world. I won't be buying one anytime soon as space is a premium in my house and my small mancave wouldn't cope with it in, but maybe this could be the arcade dream machine you've always wanted.
