Video Game City

More than 30 classic Atari® and Capcom® video games return to life in freestanding arcade consule.

Asteroids®. Centipede®. Missile Command®. Tempest®. One hundred classic games return to life in this full size upright console. Unlike lesser imitations that are 70% the size, this console is the real thing: it uses the original programming that gave arcade games such a distinctive, groundbreaking feel, with all the lights, color, sound, and gaming action you remember. The console is made in the U.S. by the world-renowned Chicago Gaming Company, experts in arcade games for over 30 years, and makers of fine game systems for such names as Williams® and Konami®. This system is the same kind that has been tested in arcades for years, for true arcade-style play and feel. A crisp Wells Gardner 25" monitor (not a co mputer monitor) doesn't let a single classic visual detail escape the eye, and real arcade controls, including two joysticks, a 3" trackball, and multiple buttons lend a true-to-life feel that will give you the upper hand in challenging one-on-one game play. A host of vintage Atari® and Capcom® games (100 in all, including the above-mentioned titles, as well as other classics like Battlezone®, Millipede™, Super Breakout™, Ghosts 'n Goblins™, and Street Fighter II™) ensure plenty of challenge variety. An interactive menu (controlled via the joysticks and buttons) lets you customize sound volume, delete high scores, and even add future games as they are made available. The only difference between this un it and the games in the arcades is you don't have to constantly feed it quarters or wait for your turn (authentic coin door does not work--commercial use prohibited), because this one sits right in your own activity room, ready for play whenever you are. Ages 8 and up.
