My Arcade units are built to last with that sturdy plastic casing you remember.
I noticed Arcade1up has a riser available to make the cabinet taller.
I like Arcade1up because they use real joysticks and buttons, not cheap stuff.
When you buy Arcade1up, you get a solid build that reminds you of the old days.
What I like about Arcade1up is that it doesn’t take up too much floor space.
