That's all you need to play the 80's classic games.]]>Jul 16th 2010 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/
I disagree. Many '80s classics require different controls. For example, Missile Command just isn't Missle Command without a trackball.

Yes, the joystick seems way too tall, and the controls seem limited. If you don't have the proper controls, many games just won't feel right.]]>Jul 16th 2010 10:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/Jul 16th 2010 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/Jul 16th 2010 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/What is the price?

All that said, I think the cabinet looks kind of cool but I wouldn't plop down much more than 500 for it, especially if it's just running a modified MAME front end.]]>Jul 16th 2010 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/Jul 16th 2010 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/Jul 16th 2010 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/Jul 16th 2010 12:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/Jul 16th 2010 2:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/
All the way around, this blurb spouts ignorance of the subject. 1080p is the opposite of what you want with an emulated 80's video game.

As others have mentioned, the joystick is too long to be useful.

Please stop giving credit to people who haven't invested the sweat and money of actually building something. Designs alone are not newsworthy.]]>Jul 16th 2010 3:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/No kidding. A good mame machine needs a low Rez 4:3 interlaced CRT monitor, not a hi rez LCD. And swappable multiple control setups.

The apostrophe comes BEFORE the numerals, to take the place of the missing "19".

Also,

apostrophe + s = possessive]]>Jul 16th 2010 3:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/16/pinel-and-pinels-80s-arcade-cabinet-fits-squarely-into-the-futur/http://www.mameroom.com/Categories.asp?ID=ArcadeSystems]]>Jul 16th 2010 3:44PM
