      I've always thought the Arcade1Up cabinets were a little too much compromise - the 3/4th size reduction plus growing up kind of makes them feel really small. But still too bad, after the death of arcades this was the simplest/affordable way to have a similar experience.

        I've got 3 and I love mine. My kids love them too. But I know a lot of people regretted getting theirs (I got one of mine second hand) and the people who want them, got them.

        I kinda hate it because it was a great niche to fill. But now it's filled.

          The 3/4th size honestly kills it for me. I still loved seeing them out there and giving prominence to the better known arcade classics.
