Dream Arcades’ Dreamcade Vision 32: The Everyman (And Woman) Gamer Cave Machine

Ladies and gentlemen, commence the drooling, but hey, keep it off the cabinet, please: Dream Arcades new Dreamcade Vision 32 is a wonder machine and the company’s latest all-in-one instant game room hit guaranteed to have your friends over constantly (and you having to nicely kick them out seven days a week). Featuring a 32 inch LCD screen monitor, over 200 classic arcade games, a built-in MP3 music jukebox (!) and plenty of cool options you can add to the unit that will make it even more awesome.

While this is highly recommended as a “man cave” purchase, I can  certainly think of a few gamer gals who’d LOVE one of these around the house. Any hubby looking to surprise their favorite gamer chick out there? Here’s a big, fat hint, hint, hint on exactly what’s a great gift you both can use.  Anyway, as spectacular as this thing is, I do wish Dream Arcades would finally get around to adding a time machine add-on to their products so I could actually travel back in time on a long loop in order to play all those great games for as long as I wanted to. At $3099, this thing is a total steal, but if you grab one before the day is over, you can get a Vision 32 for $2599. So, grab that credit card or sell a useless body part (you know, you only need ONE kidney to survive, people) and get yours HERE.

When The Last CRT Display Goes, It’s The End of An Era…

I hadn’t thought about this much as frankly speaking, I’ve actually not been paying too much attention to the classics I grew up with until recently. They can take care of themselves in terms of their familiar gameplay and assorted visual styles holding up, but things are certainly a lot more grim on the technical side. Nostalgia is indeed wonderful when it does what it does and makes you smile, but today’s gamers are getting the shorter end of the stick despite having better, faster (and yes, more expensive) ways to play games.

Sure, today’s fast-moving technology is great and all, but sometimes “vintage” is more acceptable for some things for a few very key reasons.  According to a press release I got from the fine folks at  Dream Arcades yesterday, the lack of new CRT’s is probably going to affect their bottom line at some point (and sooner that they’d like) and will probably signal the death of another central core of vintage gaming history…

Dream Arcades’ “Kegerator” Makes Any Room An Instant Man-Cave!

Posted on by

Dream Arcades just keeps coming up with too many ways for folks who can afford their awesome gear to drop even more of that disposable income. At $3,995, their Kegerator not only packs in a bunch of excellent arcade light gun and other classic titles, you also get THREE beer taps built into the unit, making this a quadruple threat that turns any room in the house into an instant party room! Just add some party-minded guests, some pub grub and a designated driver and you’re good to go.

While the Kegerator is currently out of my own price range, it would make any gamer giddy as a gift and yes, even if they’re a non-drinker, I’m sure someone will figure out a way to get some other beverage hooked into that trio of on board taps. I’d like to see Dream Arcades do something a lot closer to my own budget price range, though. Maybe a tabletop LCD screen kit that sits on top of a six-pack of whatever with a couple of straws coming out?  Hey, I’m broke these days, but I’m still a gamer for life!
