Very happy owner of an arcade cabinet from The Arcade Guys. It took 13 days from ordering to delivery; the price point was very competitive with what I was seeing from competitors. Like the video says, very plug and play and upgrading was super simple. Very happy with the purchase and the company has always been very good at answering questions by email.

I've had an Arcade Guys cabinet for a year and from all my research, it was the best bang for the buck. I have since enjoyed modifying my joysticks, buttons, added pixelcade's active marquee and put an Arcade One PC hyperspin system inside. TAG offers a great product and highly recommend

FYI, My TAG cabinet had 2 back panels and I removed the bottom one when I built a base on it and put my PC on the bottom. I do wish I could get to the inside a little bit easier as right now you have to unclamp the control panel from the back to be able to open it from the front. At least on my version

I just purchased a cabinet from the arcade guys. Can't wait to get it. I do like the coin slots of the Game Room Solutions design. I never heard of them until I saw this video.

One major dealbreaker: No trackball, or spinners. Do either of these companies offer models with them as an option? Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate both of these solutions, I have the Atgames Legend Ultimate and have been pretty happy with its size, screen, controls, support and ability to add games myself or purchase additional games from them. My next cab will prob be a kit build or Iircade.

What about Quality Arcades? It’s been hard to find any YouTube reviews on them

[dbuck]

Is it a way to add more games to the Game Room Solution system. I see some system now has over 30k games vs GRS has 6000+ games.

What consoles does The Arcade Guy have? Does it go as recent as Dreamcast, MAME, Playstation? I hope to play Soul Calibur, Tekken 3, Power Stone

I don't think Prebuilt versus DIY is a fair comp. You will get much more mileage from a GRS Cab and fully custom buildout on the system (not from GRS) & Custom buildout on the Audio (not from GRS) than you will get from most prebuilts. The real comp to TAG would be GRS Pre-built...

Arcade Guys are aggravating to deal with. Asked the same question different ways with weird responses. The question? What games comes with it? Only company that will not answer.

Honestly if you want to do a real comparison, you should do Retro Lizard’s Custom Arcades vs The Arcade Guys. My arcades are delivered plug n play for all customers.

When you do a vs video about cabinets you should be honest and say what the better one is, just saying

[SoulforSale]

Why don't you just buy 3000 real arcade machines? If you have room for two of these you can definitely fit two dozen real arcade cabinets in this space. Plus real arcades are 100% plug and play and infallible plus you can carry them up stairs all by yourself. At least that what Rexxer says.
