As someone who dropped a lot of quarters into coin-op arcade games back in the 80s, I have mad love for Arcade1Up's lineup of retro consoles. Some of them are countertop machines; others, freestanding 3/4-size replicas. All of them look amazing and play just like the originals.

So if you're looking for a nostalgia trip or want to outfit a game room, good news: For a limited time, Walmart has the Mortal Kombat Midway Legacy 12-in-1 arcade for $249. That's $200 below the price at Arcade1Up proper and the best deal I've seen for this machine.

One important thing to note: This version of the machine doesn't include a riser (as shown in the above photo), meaning you'll probably want to park a chair or stool in front of it.

The cabinet (which features a Mortal Kombat II marquee) lets you play fully licensed version of the following games:

  • Mortal Kombat

  • Mortal Kombat II

  • Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3

  • Joust

  • Defender

  • Rampage

  • Gauntlet

  • Paperboy

  • Rootbeer Tapper

  • Bubbles

  • Toobin

  • Wizard of Wor

If you're a child of the 80s like me, you know that most of these are absolute classics, some of the greatest arcade games of all time.

This isn't just a solo machine, either: It includes two sets of controls for side-by-side play (which is of course essential for the likes of Mortal Kombat, Joust, Rampage and Gauntlet). Keep in mind, though, that because this is 3/4-scale, with a comparatively compact 17-inch screen, two-player gaming can feel a little close-quarters.

No matter. While I'm less enamored with the Arcade1Up cabinets that limit you to just three or four games, this one includes a dozen — at a very reasonable price. That's really hard to pass up.
