Zoyx Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 $200 on closeout. Was being sold at Walmart, but now they are hitting the close out sites. One link... http://sellout.woot.com/Forums/ViewPost.aspx?PostID=2576262 Could you hook up Atari consoles to this thing? If you could, I would strongly consider it. Looks like only composite hook ups.

Zoyx Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 14 inch monitor....OMG I will never buy this. I consider 14 inches the perfect size for my Atari 2600. Most cocktail arcade games were built with 14 inch monitors. For the person with not much room in their place, this would be perfect.

For the person with not much room in their place, this would be perfect. you are right. an arcade game is better then no arcade game...I forgot that this is a table top and not really a real size. however, I find it small and I'm not the one how have a 52 inches plasma TV at home.....I still have my 27 inches (or 32) TV.

BUT my mame have a 25 inches TV Different tastes. My mame setup has a 19" LCD on a tilt stand so I can do both landscape or portrait mode, depending on the game. I like things that are easy to move. I go to the occasional retro game party, and it is nice to be able to pick things up and go. That table top looks portable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybastard Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 If that's the thing I saw on closeout in another store it had the worst joysticks and buttons I have ever felt. The sound stunk and the monitor was pretty blurry too. If this is the same thing, it's not worth $20 let alone $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted September 22, 2008 Author Share Posted September 22, 2008 This is basically the same unit that Target had two years ago. Only difference is that the one from two years ago was a cabaret stand-up, and this is a table top. I played the one at Target and was underwhelmed with the controls... especially the buttons. The video seemed fine. A link that talks about modding the "Target" Midway cabinet" from two years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it's the same one I tried, buttons felt real cheap, and the monitor was blurry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcadebasement Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 And aren't the games just badly ported emus of those $20 jakk's battery things? Avoid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 These are true emus of the arcade games. Memory failed me... the Target cabaret unit was 3 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
