<ul><li>New multicade machines are back in stock. &nbsp;Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Galaga and more all in one machine.</li>
<li>Demolition Man Pinball &ndash; this wide body pinball has some of the best gadgets in the game. &nbsp;Ramps galore. 6 ball multiball and more.</li>
<li>WWF Royal Rumble &ndash; another wide body pinball with a mini play field. &nbsp;Restored and ready to go. &nbsp;Will not last long</li>

<p>Originally, in 1980, Pacman was released in it&rsquo;s iconic cabinet (and yellow color) and took the world by storm. &nbsp;Ms. Pacman was it&rsquo;s successor in 1981, originally marketed to appeal to the female gamer (thus the blue, yellow and pink colors). &nbsp;It really didnt matter as Ms. Pacman quickly overtook Pacman as the most popular game ever because of it&rsquo;s changing maze and better game play.</p>
<p>Also in 1981, Galaga was actually an experiment in reusing the same game hardware and appeared to be released in cost reduced form &ndash; as the cabinets were actually made from pressed cardboard instead of the original multi-ply wood design. &nbsp;Over the years, Galaga machines have suffered from age. Most of the time, cardboard cabinet has absorbed so much water that it mushrooms and de-laminates to a point of no-return. &nbsp;As a result, we typically will use Ms. Pacman cabinets and convert them over to Galaga, or go the route of the &ldquo;reunion style&rdquo; and put both Galaga and Ms. Pacman graphics on the cabinet. &nbsp;This emulates the 20th Anniversary Reunion arcade games that were re-released in the early 2000&rsquo;s, but at a much reduced cost.</p>
<p>All cabinets of this style hold the 19&Prime; vertically oriented monitor. &nbsp;This means that the 4&times;3 monitor i s turned 90 degrees so that it sits taller than wider. &nbsp;This is the orientation for many games of the early 1980&rsquo;s such as: Galaga, Pacman, Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Centipede, Millipede etc. &nbsp; Also, the monitor in these cabinets are laid down almost flat &ndash; like a table.</p>
