Retro Space Arcade Cabinet, like, totally brings back the ‘80s

Retro Space
Ah, nothing makes me reminisce like stand-up arcade machines.  A new company is bringing back the glory days of gaming with the Retro Space Arcade Cabinet complete with old game casings, old-school joysticks, buttons and even a trackball. 

The Retro Space is packed with a computer that comes preloaded with 100 licensed arcade classics and several emulators. When not gaming (*gasp*) the cabinet can be used as a jukebox for a music collection and includes 1080p playback. As for the screen, it is a 24-incher with 1920 x 1200 resolution. 

I believe you can get one of these soon from the Retro Space site but there is no mention of availability or price (we’re waiting to hear back from the company).  If it is more than a few thousand dollars, then Retro Space needs to invest some more into the decoration in the casing.

Why does it have to be this horrid shade of Pac-Man yellow?  Who would want that in their house?  At least give it some colorful decals on all the cool video games that are inside of it. 

Oh, wait, it’s made in the Netherlands. Never mind.

In case you need more nitty gritty details, here are the specs:
