Marvel Superheroes Arcade Machine
A sweet arcade cabinet for those who love the Marvel franchise, fighting games, or both. This cabinet includes two classic fighting games: Marvel Super Heroes and X-Men Children of the Atom. And if you're tired of trading punches with one another, you can also opt to play The Punisher to bring justice to the streets of New York. For just $249, you can take this piece of a childhood home.
