The VPcabs Vertigo Upright Virtual Pinball Game is intended to provide users with an immersive experience that won't require the same amount of space that traditional pinball machines need.

Slim and somewhat discreet, the game enables users to play [60 different versions of pinball](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funpop-tabletop-pinball-game) as well as 60 other classic arcade games to boot. This makes it a modern interpretation of the [classic arcade machine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-arcade-pro) of yesteryear.

The arcade machine is packed with a 1080p 32-inch LED screen, a trackball, joystick and a serious sound system for pumping out game soundtracks.

The VPcabs Vertigo Upright Virtual Pinball Game can be utilized in a number of differently sized rooms and homes thanks to the unit's [small footprint and space-saving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/huupe-mini) aesthetic.
