Gamerator MAME cabinet features 187 games, built-in keg

187 MAME-emulated games, a 24-inch LCD, cupholders and a built-in kegerator? If it was up to us, the Gamerator would be the only piece of furniture in our living room. Yours now for $2K on eBay.

Wow! Best thing ever!

[John Doe @ Nov 6th 2007 8:41PM]

o.O My exact words.

[NSoria @ Nov 6th 2007 7:34PM]

Nothing short of awesome. But 2k... pft, I'll drink a cold one from the bottle and play a MAME emulator on a new alienware for 2k.

[Moses @ Nov 6th 2007 7:51PM]

Must be a crap Alienware for that price.

[Jimiisama @ Nov 6th 2007 11:55PM]

You could also not buy Alienware.

[CUBSWILLWIN @ Nov 6th 2007 7:53PM]

any way you can load the new starfighter game on to it?

[John @ Nov 6th 2007 7:56PM]

Only thing better would be 2 taps (for 2 5-gal cylinders)... also it's bad that you gotta reach between your buddy's legs for a refill if they're playing 720 or Centipede or Arkanoid or something

[jimmyfinch @ Nov 6th 2007 8:04PM]

What if my buddy is a girl?...oh, yeah never mind.

[riggs @ Nov 7th 2007 8:44AM]

my girl wants to buy this, reason #456 why im marrying her.

[Boynamedsue @ Nov 6th 2007 7:56PM]

2.0 should move the tap higher up, and put a urinal in. With a constant inflow of beer you really don't want to have to run to the bathroom every 10 minutes.

[paul34 @ Nov 6th 2007 7:59PM]

Indeed. A chair would be nice too.

[Penguin Warlord @ Nov 6th 2007 10:20PM]

Both of you are missing the mark. What it really needs is a retractable reclainer potty. You pull it out lean back drink play and let loose. Your refuse is then pumped out of your window and an automatic tracking system guides it into your least favourite neighbours yard, landing on as many birds as possible along the way to get back at them.

[Rainier @ Nov 6th 2007 8:02PM]

HADOU-KEG! HADOU-KEG!

[John @ Nov 6th 2007 8:08PM]

So you can play Tapper on a tapper?

[Speedmonkay @ Nov 6th 2007 8:09PM]

Ok I will apologize in advance ... I am normally not "that guy"


BUT !!

Can it play Doom ??

[CharlieX @ Nov 6th 2007 8:12PM]

But now you ARE that guy. Go masticate yourself

[derX @ Nov 6th 2007 9:15PM]

What's funny is that this comment was actually sorta fitting, this time.

[Jimiisama @ Nov 6th 2007 11:56PM]

If there's an arcade version and if the version of MAME on the machine can emulate the particular system it runs on...

[Ryan @ Nov 6th 2007 8:11PM]

You meant to say, "if it WERE up to us..."

Sorry, I'm on a personal campaign to save the subjunctive mood. Don't mind me.

[C. T. @ Nov 6th 2007 9:23PM]

Hear, hear.

[Exolon @ Nov 7th 2007 7:42AM]

I'm on an informal campaign of _NEVER_ using the subjunctive mood. It just looks wrong. Plus, it sounds too aristocratic-English. Probably because I mostly hear it on English TV.
It's not too often used here in Ireland. Do they use it in the States?

[Justin @ Nov 7th 2007 9:08AM]

@Exolon

Short answer, yes we use it in the States. Longer answer, yes, those of us in the States who care about grammar use it. If it were me, I'd have edited that last sentence to be active voice instead of passive--and guess what? I did just that. =P

[Matt @ Nov 6th 2007 8:33PM]

Yes, that's a tear in my eye, it's just so beautiful.

[Jeff @ Nov 6th 2007 8:41PM]

Are those cup holders on the sides?

They thought of everything!

[jperry @ Nov 6th 2007 8:53PM]

Now, if you were to add the keg to the urinal racing game...

[Shawn @ Nov 6th 2007 9:32PM]

we are not worthy!
we are not worthy!

[tiuk @ Nov 6th 2007 9:37PM]

Not even a bad price, considering.

[CUBSWILLWIN @ Nov 6th 2007 9:41PM]

can you fill this up with coke instead of beer? I'm not the alcohol guy but I'm an addicted coke and pepsi sipper.

[mattyukie @ Nov 7th 2007 9:05PM]

How bout just straight vodka.

[Jesse S @ Nov 6th 2007 11:58PM]

I want directions on how to make this myself.

[hibikikun @ Nov 7th 2007 12:19AM]

something like this was done by someone at my college a few years ago

[Beeeph @ Nov 7th 2007 12:38AM]

I like this one better...

[oyajikun @ Nov 7th 2007 6:07AM]

I would pay 2K for it if it didn't cost another 2K to ship it to Japan..

[Magallanes @ Nov 7th 2007 7:56AM]

but a lcd screen will not retain the classic style.

[kevjohn @ Nov 7th 2007 8:57AM]

[fighting back tears]: you had me at built-in keg. you had me at built-in keg.

[dwaede @ Nov 7th 2007 2:13PM]

Condensation from the fridge plus electronics = fun time.

Half is post is a lie as he is selling a modded xbox running illegal versions of the games through an xarcade adaptor.

[Tracy in Cary @ Nov 7th 2007 3:00PM]

NOT AN LCD SCREEN!

I'm willing to bet good money that is NOT an LCD screen in this thing. The ebay listing just says "flat screen". I think it's just a 24" flat-square tube TV that fits perfectly in the cabinet. And not even an HDTV at that. Just a $150 24" Sanyo TV.

If not, where do I buy a 24" 4:3 aspect ratio screen (or TV). The closest I've seen are some 23" monitors I purchased at work, and those were $1000+ last time I looked. (Just looked now and couldn't even FIND one for sale!)

[pAT @ Nov 7th 2007 4:34PM]

Only problem with this... joysticks for lefties! What am I, a freak?

[Nate @ Nov 8th 2007 12:10AM]

This was done years ago by a friend
