Pac-Man Head to Head Gaming Table is Available for Preorder
Mike Sanders / 5 years ago
I am just a little too young to remember the initial arcade boom days of the late 70s and early 80s. Fortunately, however, courtesy of my oldest brothers Atari ST, I did gain a pretty strong love for the retro classics and certainly chief amongst them is Pac-Man albeit the console always lacked the charm of the cabinet gaming machine.
Well, if like me you have more than a little love for retro gaming classics, then I have good news for you. Available for pre-order now, you can have your very own ‘sit down’ head to head arcade machine featuring many arcade classics including, most predominantly, Pac-Man!
Pac-Man Head to Head Gaming Table

How Much Does It Cost?
Currently only seemingly available to pre-order in the US, the Pac-Man head to head table will cost you around $499. Quite a lot of money, particularly when you can buy ‘stand-up’ traditional arcade systems for around $299.99.
This version does, however, have some advantages. Namely, the ability to play sat down (maybe with a drink) and play game after game with your friends without the need to move. I know I’d like to have one of these. For that price though?…
