Retro-Chic Gaming

The Arcade Table

— February 10, 2008 — Tech
If you want to entertain a party with style, the cool hunter has a table for you. Looking like it took its inspiration from Microsoft's upcoming Surface Table, the sleek and modern Arcade Table comes loaded with PacMan, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Space Invaders and 44 other retro games.

The table's shiny stainless steel finish makes a great piece of contemporary coffee/dining/bar/desk/ table and it is durable enough to serve as a dance stage as well!

It comes in a compact size (26x25x23in) and you can even order a custom coin mechanism to add to the authenticity of the retro experience, or if you plan to make the $2,800 you will spend on it back from your friends and house guests.
