I'M GOING TO NEED $5,300 TO $6,500

Okay, I don't (though my student loans are pretty up there...) but anybody who sees the Arcane Arcade Game Table and has to pick their jaw up from the floor might.



Behold! A table with video games inside of it! (And: An entire computer, running Windows 7 home, with joysticks, trackballs, buttons, USB & HDMI inputs and preloaded with MAME and a whole slew of other games...)

Who needs a TV or a monitor now, suckas?

Wait -- Isn't this what Nolan Bushnell's failed restaurant enterprise attempt was all about? Having a place with tables that had screens and games in them? I think we talked about it on Tuesday.

Anyway, if money were no big deal and you could get all the stuff you wanted, would anything like this be in your future? OR: If you were to sell one of your vital organs for this table, which one would you sell for it?* (And would you also buy coasters?)

*I don't condone the selling of your vital organs for video game-infused coffee tables. You kind of need them where they're at.

  1. So pretty. Maybe we could do a kickstarter?

    1. Have you heard of Gambitious? If not, I'll do a post on it.

  2. A kickstarter to get one or a kickstarter to make one? I'd like to see someone try to make one of these stuffed with EVERY GAME (and controller) IN THE UNIVERSE, but I think the cool modern consoles and their peripherals wouldn't work so well with this (in order not to bonk your hand repeatedly while playing a wii, you'd probably have to stand up while looking direclty down at the table).

  3. Reminds me of Pactable, an awesome gaming experience and the best way to play Pac Man. I wonder if the picture looks right-side-up from each side though.
