Classic Arcade Machine

Whilst I didn't exactly have my life planned out as a child, one thing I knew for sure was that as soon as I got a place of my own I'd be installing my very own arcade machine. The problem though was which game would I pick? Would I opt for the cutting-edge appeal of Paperboy? (well it was a while ago), the sheer speed and excitement of Defender? or the ever-timeless Pac-man?

Had I realised back then that the progress of technology would mean that I could get all these games, as well as another 125, in one classic cabinet I would have probably started putting my pocket-money aside from that day on ready to buy a Mightymast 128-in-1 Classic Arcade Machine today.

The Mightymast 128-in-1 Classic Arcade Machine is enough to make us misty-eyed thirty-something big kids go weak at the knees. 128 classic arcade titles crammed into an authentically styled arcade cabinet.

If you're worried about modern technology spoiling your nostalgia trip there is no need. The games are all authentic & official originally licensed versions. Even the controls are true to the feel of the originals.

If you want to see the full list of games, just visit the Prezzybox link below, but here is my own selection of favourites:

Super Mario
Paper Boy
Defender
Space Invaders
Donkey Kong 1, 2 & 3
Arkanoid
1942
Pac Man
Bomber Man
Track and Field
Tetris II
Millipede
Kung Fu
Dig Dug
Mario Bros
Galaxian
Joust

That's just 19 - There's another 109 included!

Your Mum/wife/girlfriend won't agree to it
