GAME ROOM AND MAN CAVE POSTS

Arcade games are a great addition to any man cave or game room. They bring back memories of when you were a kid going to the arcade at the mall or bowling alley. You and your guests will be entertained for hours as you relive your glory days.
There are several options when adding arcade games to your game room. Some people prefer to have the original arcade games. These can be found pretty easily on facebook, craigslist, ebay, or local auctions. They can be a lot of fun but they have many drawbacks. They are very heavy and require multiple people to move them, and if you have to bring them upstairs it is a pain. They are very delicate and can easily get damaged while moving them, and then you have to find a specialist to come out and repair them. They are limited to just a single game, or a few games to a machine but you have options to either buy a multicade (with 39 or more games in a single cabinet) or a mame machine. This allows you to play a lot of your classic games like Pacman, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Frogger, and many others. Original arcade games or full size cabinet games can also be pretty expensive.
Recently, there has been an explosion of 3/4 scale arcade games that have hit the market. AtGames Legends Ultimate Arcade, AtGames Legends Ultimate Pinball and Legends 4K Pinball are a couple of my personal favorites. These games come in a lighter cabinet, have a pretty solid feel to them, and play extremely well. The control panel allows for a variety of games to be played the proper way including dual joysticks for games like Robotron 2084, spinners for games like Tempest, and a trackball for games like golf. Even the Pinball game allows you to add the ALU control panel and play arcade games on the pinball machine. The ALU Arcade game comes with 300 games pre-installed and is easily upgradable to thousands of games and includes all the classics mentioned so far in the article and just about any arcade game you can think of. You can also connect to AtGames arcade subscription service and play all the games available out there and compete to get your name on the leaderboard for each game. The Legends Pinball comes with 22 pinball tables built in, a little something for everyone and a lot of fun games. You can purchase and download additional games to the table for a fair price from AtGames and add quite a few tables this way. There are other options to connect a PC directly to the pinball table and play thousands of pinball tables that way as well. Leaderboards are available on AtGames for the Pinball tables too, showing weekly, monthly, and all time high scores. If not already posted, we will be adding some reviews of our AtGames products, and reviews, tips, and tricks for some of our favorite tables for the AtGames Arcade Legends Pinball. Arcade1Up also has a huge selection of game cabinets with all the popular arcade games, and these can be easily modified as well to run thousands of games on a single cabinet. The AtGames arcade and pinball as well as the Arcade1Up arcade games and pinball machines are all very inexpensive and light weight options guaranteed to put a smile on you and your guests faces and provide ours of entertainment.

Another great option for some classic arcade games for your home game room is the Arcade1UP line up of home arcade games. These games offer a huge line up of Home Arcade games guaranteed to make your home game room look great and provide hours of amusement and entertainment for you, your friends, and your family. These cabinets usually pick 1 classic arcade game to highlight on the cabinet artwork, but have several to a dozen games pre-installed. Game cabinets such as Pac Man, Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Mortal Combat and many others are available. Search the Internet and find ways you can easily upgrade these cabinets to include hundreds or even thousands of classic arcade games in a single cabinet. These cabinets started off as smaller cabinets and were not very tall, and some of the newer ones are 5ft tall. If looking at the lower height cabinets, look to add a cabinet stand offered by Arcade1up as well. They make a generic stand and they make some specific to individual game cabinets.
Arcade1UP also has a line up of pinball tables with a great selection of games.
