Summary
We might be losing arcades to time, but that doesn’t mean the games they brought us have to go along with them. While far from perfect, console creators are finally starting to take game preservation a little more seriously, adding classic games to easily accessible libraries. That doesn’t apply to arcade games, but that’s where Arcade1Up comes in. A company dedicated to putting arcade cabinets in your home, and while that can understandably be quite expensive, one of Arcade1Up’s best products is $400 cheaper than usual for a limited time.
Arcade1Up’sMortal Kombathead-to-head table, which usually retails at $700, is currently available on Amazon for just $299.99. Better than half price, and $300 for what is effectively a piece of furniture that’s a lot more fun than an armchair or a nest of tables. Even though the fantastic art on the side shows the Mortal Kombat 2 version of Raiden, there’s a lot more than just the sequel to play on the table.
There are 12 games on the table, and while Mortal Kombat is the focus and all three games in the original trilogy are included, there are some non-Mortal Kombat titles on there too, Joust and Rootbeer Tapper among them. The table has control panels at each end, arguably making it better and more practical than a traditional arcade cabinet as you don’t need to awkwardly stand next to each other when playing multiplayer. It can also connect to Wi-Fi and has worldwide leaderboards so you’re able to compete with others who have a table.
