Assembly consists almost entirely of connecting particleboard panels to each other with dowels and screws. It took me approximately two hours to assemble it, though it will likely go quicker if you get someone to help you. A separate user manual is filled with text, however, on how to use the cabinet after it's complete.Īssembling the cabinet isn't a complicated process, but it is involved enough that you should be ready to spend a bit of time working on it.
Also like Ikea furniture, it comes with step-by-step illustrated instructions with no words. The cabinet ships unassembled in a flat pack, like a piece of Ikea furniture. That said, it’s a lot of money for a handful of old games, which is why, like all arcade cabinets, it should be seen more as a piece of furniture and a nostalgic collectible than a piece of modern gaming hardware. We tested the Mortal Kombat Deluxe model, available for $499.99, and enjoyed the look of the machine and the cavalcade of classic Midway games on it. They’re a bit more expensive than non-Deluxe cabinets, but the extra height is worth the cost.
Arcade1Up’s Deluxe line is the next obvious step, a one-body cabinet that stands slightly taller than a standard cabinet with a riser. They were a bit shorter than necessarily comfortable, which is why the company eventually included risers that lifted the machines to a height that could let most adults easily play while standing. Arcade1Up started the current home arcade machine craze a few years ago when it released slightly scaled-down, stand-up arcade cabinets at relatively low prices for home play.
