I think Target had one that combined the Milipede/trackball one w/ the Asteroids/button on, for 12 games. I'm sure it's long gone, but keep that one in mind if you're interested. These are 4 ft cabs, but they do sell a riser separately for around $100 I think. I thought the parts and cab would make a cheaper MAME cab, but not sure how the buttons and controllers work. The software is proprietary to Arcade1up.

It's kind of a shame that they went 3/4 size, They should have just went full size. I just watched a review online and the guy basically said it's definitely cheaply made compared to actual arcade units, but despite that it's fully functional and might be just perfect for the right customer. He seemed to know what he was talking about.

I actually like that it is 3/4 size. It means I should be able to wheel up to it instead of trying to figure out how to stand and play. But I cannot justify the room it will still take, plus the price tag for a few old games, no matter how much I like them, is just not worth it to me.
