An arcade machine is one of those things that instantly make your house a bit cooler.
Arcade games can be fun to play on your own or have on hand in your game room when you’re hosting a party. While an arcade game can mean something with a larger cabinet that takes up a good amount of space in your room, you can also find some these days with a smaller profile that can bring all the fun of an arcade game to your home without taking up a ton of space.
If you’re thinking about gifting an arcade machine this holiday season there are some great deals to be had on them on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Here are a few of our favorite arcade machines that are worth taking a look.
Pacman Arcade Machine — $250
Everyone loves Pac-Man. This miniature arcade machine measures in at roughly 4-feet tall and offers commercial-grade construction and coinless operation, so there’s no need to keep a bunch of quarters around. The sides of the cabinet are decorated in the game’s original artwork, and a 17-inch LCD screen allows you to eat dots and battle ghosts in full color.

Why buy an arcade machine that only plays one game when you can get one capable of playing 60? This arcade machine doubles as a cocktail table and includes a number of classic arcade games including Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Centipede, and Quix. Joysticks on either side of the machine allow you to play along with a friend, and a quarter slot gives you the option of turning the game into a money-maker as well.
