Arcade cabinets are large, upright gaming machines that house video games. They typically feature a screen, controls like joysticks and buttons, and colorful artwork. These cabinets were popular in the 1980s and 1990s, found in places like arcades, pizza parlors, and amusement parks. Players insert coins to start a game, competing for high scores or completing levels. Many classic games, such as Pac-Man and Street Fighter, were designed specifically for these cabinets. Today, some enthusiasts build or restore their own arcade cabinets to enjoy retro gaming at home.
