Retro arcade cabinets for model railroad sets

Posted by John Brownlee, January 26, 2009 5:55 AM | permalink

These tiny retro arcade machine recreations do come with the optional accessory of a shady looking drug pusher madly fingering a tiny Liliputian straight razor in his pocket between his meth-addled snorts, but that's not really what's so nifty about them: it's the fact that these miniature Pac-Man and Galaga machines are specifically designed to be placed in any pygmy arcade a model train enthusiast might dementedly want to install into his locomotive diorama.

They are only $7.50 each, which is cheap enough to consider as retrogaming knick-knacks for your desk.

The cabinet style is wrong for Galaga & Pac-Man; the control panel and screen should be a single plane. Those are all Zaxxon cabinets.
Nit-picky? Sure, but if your market is model train building retro-arcade enthusiasts...

As a miniature-obsessed, working-keychain owning fanatic who knows about technologic minituarization, I demand the ability to display game playbacks!
