Build Your Own Arcade Kit

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the its-good-old-fashioned-fun dept.

Shawn Walters writes "Xgaming, Inc., has announced availability of the new X-Arcade BYO Arcade KIT, a $60 solution designed to allow users to create an authentic arcade machine in their home powered by any PC, Mac or game console, no advanced technical skills required." Heck of a lot easier than building your own.

  1. Still Need a Cabinet by Cylix · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have no problem putting together a controller or ordering piece online, but I have some difficulty in obtaining an actual arcade cabinet.

    Anywhere to get one of these online...

    And I hate eBay... an old saying comes to mind... "A wretched hive of scum and villainy"

    Kit?
    This appears to be nothing more than an arcade controller interface. This is nothing more than 1 part that you need to build your own.

    The "arcade parts bundle" at the bottom of the article really scares me and is probably quite telling. $19.95 for 20 arcade-style buttone AND 2 arcade-style joysticks? Quality.
