Back in July, a line of arcade cabinets from Arcade1Up were set to launch for a suggested price of $399, which is pretty reasonable for a 3/4 scale arcade cabinet loaded with multiple retro games. However, when Walmart put them up for pre-order they dropped the price to $299. Not surprisingly, they sold out quickly.

If you’ve been patiently waiting for your second chance, today is the day! The entire lineup, including the Walmart exclusive Galaga machine is back up for pre-order right here for $299 with free 2-day shipping and a release date slated for October 18th. The riser is also up for grabs.
At only $299 these arcade cabinets seem like the gaming bargain of the century. Each machine is loaded with several games in a traditional arcade cabinet design with the original control and button configurations and a hi-res display. They’re ideal for dens and gaming rooms, offices, businesses and more. Below you’ll find the entire lineup of Arcade1Up cabinets, the included games, and pre-order links:
- Atari’s Centipede Cabinet: Centipede, Millipede, Missile Command, Crystal Castles
- Atari’s Asteroids Cabinet: Asteroids, Tempest, Major Havoc, Lunar Lander
- Midway’s Rampage Cabinet: Rampage, Defender, Joust, Gauntlet
- Capcom’s Street Fighter II Championship Cabinet: Street Fighter II Championship, Super Street Fighter II New Challenger, Super Street Fighter II Turbo
