Target to Sell $500 Arcade Machine
Beginning in November, Target is going to sell a full sized arcade machine that will play 12 Midway Arcade classics for $500. Not so bad if you're a Joust or Defender junkie, but it might be cheaper just to buy the classic compilation for your PS2 and buy a nice arcade joystick, no?
$500 nationwide in November of 2005. Each unit plays 12 of the original arcade versions of the most popular Midway® games including: Defender®, Defender® II, Robotron®, Joust®, Bubbles®, Splat™, Sinistar®, Rampage®, Rootbeer Tapper™, Wizard of Wor™, Timber™, and Satan's Hollow™. The unit stands 62” tall and has an included, built-in, full color monitor. It comes with additional A/V inputs that allow (almost) any existing home video game system, DVD player, VCR or any other A/V product to be plugged in and viewed on the built-in monitor.
