Keeping whiskey - even McGregor's whiskey - in a fridge is (correctly) a criminal offence in many countries.

Would anyone know of any other reputable places to buy an arcade system similar to these?

I was looking at Mini Arcade Systems initially but just cant justify the price really

Thanks!

Unfortunately most of the reputable ones are also price gouging :(

Are you looking for a bartop one or a full standing one?

Is it just a bit of a novelty unit or is it for someone who's genuinely into videogames as a hobby?

If you're looking for a bartop, there are actually quite a few on adverts.ie at the moment that people have made themselves for a lot cheaper than what these companies are selling.

Novelty stand up units, look into arcade1up machines. They're flat packed and you assemble them themselves.

People have also been modifying them and putting loads of games on. This is pretty expensive for what it is, but it's still miles cheaper than those mini arcade system units.

If you want a genuine arcade machine and not one of these modern MDF '1 million games in one unit!' types of things, you can get one for sub 1000 euro.

Which makes those mini arcade system machines seem even more ridiculously expensive.

Cheers for the reply!

We got our attic converted recently ive turned it into a bit of a gaming room 😬 I was looking for a bartop / full size just to add to the room really and have a game on from time to time

I had a look on adverts and went with a person who makes them himself, went with the bartop for portability hopefully now it will be grand and do the job! 😂
