Back in October, we reported Target would be getting in on the retro arcade action with the Midway standup arcade. Well, it's finally here. Today's Sunday circular is advertising the unit for $397, which is also available via Target.com for the same price (plus a nice hefty shipping fee).
Manufactured by Hong Kong-based Big Electronic Games Limited, the Midway standup arcade is 62" tall, about two feet deep, and sports a 14" screen. The 12 pre-installed games include Robotron 2084, Sinistar, Joust, Rampage, Defender, and Wizard of Wor.
Given the diminutive size of the screen and cabinet (compared to traditional cabinets) — and the fact that each of these games are available in the budget priced Midway Arcade Treasures collections — your eyes, neck, and wallet will probably favor the console counterparts.
