In November Target Stores will offer BigGames Home Video Arcades - real arcade machines for the home that will retail for less than $500. Each unit plays 12 of the original arcade versions of the most popular Midway games including: Defender, Defender II, Robotron, Joust, Bubbles, Splat, Sinistar, Rampage, Rootbeer Tapper, Wizard of Wor, Timber, and Satan's Hollow. Also - Dicks Sporting Goods will be carrying the tabletop version of the cabinet. I am totally going to get one of these, take it apart and see if I can add more games. Thanks Brian! [via] Link.

Why don't they offer the head-to-head sit-down style? Must I build everything myself?

I don't find suitable such machines too. It's nonsense for me.
