Anyone on the lookout for a last-minute Christmas present for a fan of retro games will want to take a look at this. Best Buy is running a sale on Arcade1Up home arcade machines. You can save $100 off some of the biggest new full-size releases like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and The Simpsons. Or you can save $80 off the smaller “Countercade” machines that sit on a table or counter, including Mortal Kombat II and Marvel.
These are excellent deals on some terrific home arcade machines. They’ll even be delivered or ready for pickup in time for Christmas. Let’s take a look at what’s on sale.
Most of these cabinets focus on multiplayer games, which is always fun when you have people over. But most of the full-size machines also feature online multiplayer over Wi-Fi for when you don't have willing companions available. You can play games like The Simpsons and Turtles in Time online with other Arcade1Up owners at no additional cost. Pretty neat.
Lots of the machines also include extras, like matching stools and risers, or light-up marquees. The Simpsons machine also comes with the game Simpsons Bowling, and a roller-ball controller input to play it with, along with a tin sign to go along with the game.
