Arcade 1up Atari cabinets on clearance at Target

They are bizarrely small and atrociously flimsy. It's most telling that a good deal of discussion has bloomed around upgrading the things in other corners of the internet.

Yes these are the same company as ones being sold in Walmart/Gamestop/etc. My brother got the Galaga version for Christmas, and I wouldn't call it atrociously flimsy. Yes, they are made of (I think) 1/2" particle board, but once together it's pretty sturdy. Regarding the artwork on the control panel, you can go the Arcade1Up's website and order a replacement piece of plexi/artwork for them for free. My brother's took less than a month to receive. I'd honestly pick up one of the SF2 cabs if they ever got to less than $200 simply to mod it into a full mame cabinet on the cheap.

I didn't think they were flimsy. They didn't seem to shift when you played.

If I had the room followed by the money I'd get one. They were fun to play at the store.

I have 5 of these. They went on sale for 175 at a Wal Mart around here too. I love them. I think 300 is a little rough to pay but considering an authentic vintage Galaga cabinet could run you in the thousands, it's still worth it. I love playing mine every day and the real value of these is catching a sale and buying several. A mini arcade for under 1000 dollars? I keep mine in the garage and temps have reached 15 degrees and they have held up so far. Wave 2 has Mortal Kombat 2.
