It’s sad, but with each passing year, it feels more and more like arcades are becoming a thing of the past. Between more ways to play games at home, handheld options to play on the go, and not needing to insert a quarter every time you want to play, it’s a shame but it makes sense. Thankfully, even though arcades are now few and far between, thanks to Arcade1Up, you may build your very own arcade at home. Even better, a lot of Arcade1Up’s cabinets and machines are on sale for Prime Day, some of them by as much as $400.
The machines with the heaviest discounts onAmazonright now are, in my opinion, among the best Arcade1Up has to offer. Not necessarily for the games they include, but because of the style of machine they are. Head-to-head two-player tables, a control panel at each end with a screen in the middle. While multiplayer in arcades is traditionally a side-by-side situation, playing with or against a friend this way is far more practical, especially when the machine will be in your home.
Amazon has two of Arcade1Up’s head-to-head machines on sale for Prime Day, both of which have had their prices slashed from the usual $700 it would cost to put one in your home to just $299.99. Although I said it’s not the games that make these types of machines the best, they certainly help, and Arcade1Up’s Mortal Kombat head-to-head machine has 12 classic titles built-in, ready to play as soon as you set it up. The first threeMortal Kombattitles and other iconic arcade games like Joust and Rootbeer Tapper.The Pong equivalent of this machine is also $400 for Prime Day.
