NAMCO Mini Arcade Machine Collection

October 4, 2016 By ausretrogamer

namco_arcade_collectionHave you ever wanted to recreate an arcade parlour from the 80s? You know those dark dingy joints you used to visit and wow at the pew-pew sounds coming out of Galaga or the distinct wakka-wakka-wakka sound effects from a Pac-Man machine? Ah, those were the days.

Now, where were we? Ah, rather than look for a commercial property and hitting eBay to find arcade machines to recreate your dream 80s arcade parlour, these tiny NAMCO Arcade Machines will go a long way to fulfil your creation. There are five in the collection (Galaga, Galaxian, Pac-Man, Rally-X and Tank Battalion), and we truly hope more will be released. Oh yeah, you will have to supply your own well worn carpet with chewing gum for that authentic look and feel.

You can pre-order your NAMCO Arcade Machine Collection now!

A row of beauties!

Pointless Arcade Cabinets

January 4, 2016 By ausretrogamer

We keep sounding like a broken record, but geez there are some really clever and talented people out there. Take djmdesign‘s awesome Pointless Arcade Cabinets gallery on Imgur as a prime example – all the Photoshopped cabs are so darn cool, exceptionally clever and most importantly, very funny! We love them all, but the ‘Can YOU make it work?’ MS Windows arcade cabinet and the Operation Wolf stylised Instagram cabinet are our faves. Which one is your favourite?
