The idea of having an arcade cabinet at home is a nostalgic dream for a lot of people, but they've always been way too expensive for most. Arcade1Up's cabinets cost under £400, and still give you the button-mashing experience you crave.
Each cabinet is decked out in the design of its lead game, including classics such as Asteroids, Space Invaders and Rampage.
Our pick is the Street Fighter II cabinet, which actually comes loaded with three different versions of the game (Turbo, Championship Edition, and The New Challengers), so you can play whichever one you loved most.
Naturally, it has two sets of controls for going shoulder-to-shoulder with your nemesis, laid out in the original configuration for the game. The 17-inch colour screen and built in speakers, surrounded by classic artwork, complete the full experience.
Arcade1Up's cabinets actually come flat-packed, so you put them together yourself, which makes delivery a bit easier. When built, the cabinets stand four feet tall, so not quite full-size, but pull up a stool and you'll be good to go.
There are more coming this year as well, so be on the look out for Mortal Kombat (which comes with the first three games in the series) and Golden Tee if the current range doesn't push your buttons – they've been announced for the US, so we're hoping MK at least will come to the UK too.
