Retro Space arcade cabinet dispenses with (most of) the throwback formalities

Yeah, we get it, those arcade glory years were indeed glorious, but we’re a bit past the point of needing a retro cabinet at home large enough to house an entire army of quarter gremlins just to rock a bit of MAME standing up. Retro Space chucks the cabinet chubbiness, keeps all those mashy buttons, robust joysticks and spinny white ball things we know and love, and adds in a full-powered PC and a 24-inch 1920 x 1200 LCD. It’s a tad bit boxy, but we’ll probably manage to overlook that for another decade or two. No word on price, but expect something in the two or three thousand dollar range.
