First thought: sweet, 2 bulky recreational items in the space of 1 and I already deal in 5 gallon kegs exclusively!

Then I clicked to see the price.

Second thought: I have the knowledge, skills and tools to make that thing myself and I could make it better for 1/3 the price!

*shakes tiny fist of rage at Phil*
Now I'm going to be obsessed and taunted by the knowledge this exists.

Could it be perhaps the IP licenses are still in effect for those titles? The only games on there are there because the IP license has expired and have become public domain.

Lots of after market arcade console producers actually pay for licensed games, not just public domain ones.
I've seen machines for home use pre-loaded with 6000+ games...legit from the manufacturer.

Awesome idea. Not a fan of the price, although it seems reasonable for the amount of work that probably goes into one.
