Homemade Metroid Arcade Cabinet: Bravo!


Amazing things can happen when you combine passion with talent. This homemade Metroid arcade cabinet is definitely a case in point. Unfortunately his talents do not extend into the world of directing, so the video is not quite what it could be. Still, the cool artwork, lighting effects, and controller ports for the NES, SNES, N64 and USB are easily discernible. If you ask me, the best part is the illuminated Mother Brain displayed behind plexiglass. Very impressive indeed. [WiiFanboy via Joystiq]

Dealzmodo: Konami Arcade Cabinet

We've told you about something similar to the 12-in-1 Konami arcade cabinet before, but this is Konami's first appearance on Giz. Featuring (you guessed it) 12 classic Konami games—Frogger, Green Beret, Blades of Steel, Contra, Gyruss, Castlevania, Hyper Sports, Time Pilot '84, Shao-Lins Road, Jungler, Scramble and Super Basketball—its slightly smaller stature will make for snugger play, and its 15" screen will be smaller than many classic machines you are used to. But for a reduced price, it would make a fantastic gift under the tree... More »

Gamerator, Arcade Cabinet with Beer Tap


The Gamerator has been the first successful technology to combine our two favorite pastimes: video games and binge drinking. Because while it initially appears to be a drool-worthy 24-inch flat screen MAME arcade cabinet with 180 preloaded titles, the Gamerator's alter ego is that of a kegerator, keeping a pony keg chilled and on tap for your enjoyment at all times. Sounds like heaven? That's not all, my friends! More »

Guitar Hero "Arcade Syle" Cabinet: Rock Out in Style

A simple but brilliant design—build an arcade style cabinet for Guitar Hero with a real Marshall cab acting as the base, a marquee and speakers on the top, and connect it to a hacked PS2 with every Guitar Hero game loaded on the hard drive. Then go ahead and deck out a couple of guitar controllers to top it all off. Needless to say, I wouldn't mind sucking so much ass at Guitar Hero if I was playing it on this thing.

Nintendo '80s Arcade Cabinet

Costco's selling this Nintendo classic arcade cabinet. Since you can get Mario Bros. Donkey Kong and DK Jr variations on Game Boy, what you're actually paying $3000 for is the orange paint and amazing cabinet art. Twin joysticks, and a 19 inch monitor round out the 250-pound pre-8-bit-era game machine.–Brian Lam

Quasimoto HD: High Def Arcade Cabinet For Your Consoles


Playing video games for too long can give you a hunched back. Appropriately named arcade cabinet maker, Quasimoto, has updated their many buttoned, many joystick'd model with an "HD" designation. That's a thinner profile, thanks to the wide-aspect flatscreen LCD that replaces the CRT in previous models we've written about. Also new are the removable side graphics, 200-watts of THX certified sound, and a built-in power strip you can plug your consoles into. What stays the same is a game tray and the fantastic joystick setup. Pictures of those, after the jump. – Brian Lam More »
