Classic Special Edition Arcade Cabinets on Sale
For those looking to expand their personal arcade, several other Arcade1Up cabinets are currently on offer. These “Classic Special Edition” models are sold without a riser, which reduces their height to four feet, making them more adaptable for various spaces. However, a separate riser can be acquired for just $59 to elevate them to standard standing height. Walmart is presently offering the Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and Mortal Kombat 2 arcade cabinets at a special price of $334 each. Each of these units comes pre-loaded with additional games beyond their signature titles.
These classic cabinets share a uniform set of technical specifications, including a vibrant 15.6-inch IPS color monitor, dual speaker audio setups, and online connectivity to support leaderboards and multiplayer functionalities in compatible games. A major draw of these machines is their authentic aesthetic; each cabinet is adorned with vintage artwork that faithfully recreates the look and feel of an arcade machine from the 80s or 90s, complemented by robust controls. For safety and a clean finish, an anti-tip-over strap and side panels (to conceal screw holes) are included. While some assembly is required, the setup process is designed to be straightforward.
