Does it have arcade games or just console games? And what's with the Hulk Hogan pic? I take it you're not a fan?

I talked to them for a while before I ordered but I don't have it yet so I can't confirm.

It is supposed to have arcade games, console games, handheld games, and computer games.


Hawk Hogan? Short answer is I just like dumb stuff.

I don't have strong feelings about Hogan one way or another. I just have a ****** low-brow sense of humor. I like bad puns, poorly done photoshop, and the poops are hoagies they're just shrunk down so small they look like poops instead of sandwiches. My sig is ****ting on posts under it, but not really, it's Hawk Hogan dropping hoagies on them. It's just ****** for ******'s sake.

That said, I was a Sting fan growing up. Mostly surfer era Sting, then a little bit Crow Sting, but by the time he turned heel I was chasing girls and missed the heel turn. So if I was like 8 or some such then I'd be very anti-Hogan and Flair but now not so much. Good guys for Stinger to give the Scorpion Death Drop to.

Hawk Hoagie, love it. Or Hawk Hogan Hoagies.

Exactly, it's just dumb in a fun way. No diss to the Hulkster.

Although he could be a douche in his younger career and his lies are epic.

I didn't actually know that stuff about Hoagie. Maybe he was a bit of a ****.

Got it today. I'll post pictures when I get a chance.

It is pine with panels, so a very light cab that's a lot more water resistant.

4k monitor is good, asus.

the speakers sound good.

Their website says over 50 systems. It is 55. Loads of stuff and somethings I never even heard of. MSU-MD, NES-HD, OpenBOR. It's all neat. MSU-MD seems to be Genesis games with CD audio. NES-HD looks like redone NES games with modern 2d graphics. OpenBOR is some kind of side scrolling beat'em up system.

Some of the later systems like Wii, Xbox, PS2 only have one or two games ready to go. I suspect this is just to show you, you can play these systems on this arcade but they take up a bunch of file space. You can play 16 button controller games on the arcade controls but it also came with a wireless xbox controller and a wireless keyboard and mouse combo. I can't tell you if it's a series or one because I have not bought a new console since 360. It's not a 360 or a duke that's for sure. The Keyboard/Mouse combo is just a cheap logi combo. It works but there's definitely better.

The Arcade section seems to be multiple arcade systems combined into one section, it has Capcom, NeoGeo, SNK, Sammy, etc all in the one section.

I'm not going to list the individual titles because there's way, way too many games but I will list the totals next to the system.

Total 12,111. They advertise "Over 10k games" which is kind of crazy. Should say over 12k games.

Pretty nice, I couldn't think of anything it didn't have in the 100+ game libraries but I'm sure there are a lot more than 12,111 games in the world. It has all your hits for sure it's just missing obscure stuff, lightgun stuff, and later stuff.

Plenty lacking in the libraries with only 2-3 games. The one 3DS game is Pokemon Sun. Xbox has Halo so that's cool. PS2 has a Contra title I didn't even know existed so that was cool too.

There are no duplicates, various versions of the same game, regions, etc. It's 100% English. There are some new games in there like The Cursed Knight for Genesis and some hacks like The Neverending Story on NES. The only time the same game appears twice is when it's a port on two different systems and only when they are significantly different. Like how TMNT or Castlevania on Amiga is way different to NES.

They also have a Comics section which came with 21 comics. It too is controlled by the arcade sticks which is pretty decent.

You never have to use the wireless controller or keyboard and mouse. Which might explain why there's so few windows games, I don't know.


The user interface is easy to use and looks nice. All 12k games has art and descriptions in the UI. You can power down the cabinet in the UI using the arcade sticks but what I thought was cool is you can also turn off the UI in the same menu and go to the desktop.

I went to add some games, it's a 500GB hard drive with 499GB of space filled. I think that explains the libraries with very few games. You need to be willing to delete like 1000 Amiga titles to get space for another Xbox title. I decided I would just add space to it and add games later.

Adding games looks as simple as placing them in the right folder
