Most of us have probably dabbled around with a Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator before, but have you ever crammed one into a TARDIS? Those things are supposed to be bigger on the inside than the outside. Anyhow, one man decided that having a dedicated stand-up gaming cabinet wasn't enough, so he built this pillar of geek awesomeness.

Check out the two different sections, one on the building of the iconic blue Police Box, and the other on the console. He even had the 7th doctor, Sylvester McCoy, autograph the thing. Is it still a sin to covet thy neighbor's sci-fi gaming cabinet? If so, mark us down in the "sinner" category.

[Thanks, Douglas!]

arcade cabinetA Ms. Pac-Man port for $5? Or the real thing for $2,995? MTV Gamedrop has spotted Amazon selling some pricey wares. The arcade cabinets are being sold by Dazadi, which claims to use original programming and circuit boards.

The particular Ms. Pac-Man cabinet being sold is actually a multi-game machine and includes Pac-Man, Pac Attack, Ms. Pac Attack, Pac-Man Plus, Ms. Pac-Man After Dark, Ultra Pac-Man, and Piranha Pac-Man. As such, it's doubtful that the image provided reflects the actual product; which has been dubbed 'Super Multi Pac Man Upright Arcade Game.'

Dazadi's offering doesn't reek quite as bad as the 'Midway standup arcade,' but it also retails for thousands more. At three grand a pop, you'd best test these machine before purchasing.
