When I had an arcade cab, I was able to get all kinds of gamer and non-gamer friends into it - it definitely was the most fun mutiplayer machine I would say vs any other that I had. We could have easily played 4P Kart, Guitar Hero, Wii, the newest Playstation game I had, etc instead but how can you ignore the chance to play on an arcade cab if there is one? Personally I like in-person mutiplayer way better than online. I'm also old, so, there's that.
I wish I had friends like that. I share your opinions
You're better off buying the upright and sitting in a lawn chair instead of that.
From the looks of the quality of the cabinet (and of their cabinets past), if people play this like the driving games in the arcade, you're in very big trouble (at least in my game room, drivers are some of the more abused games in the store). Games are good except Outrunners plays better as a dual driving game (unless there's a way to link cabinets) and though they all came out as moving driving cabinets, Power Drift is meant to be played as a moving one. The basic upright loses a lot in the translation.
Honestly I wouldn't mind it for a cheaper price, but for the $500 they are probably going to ask for nope.
All of the arcade1up stuff wouldn't hold up to real arcade abuse, but then again I don't think someone's basement gets that kind of abuse either. I play the hell out of my modded crap, but I would be worried if I took it somewhere for random people to play on.
