Nevermind Atari’s new video game themed hotels, with an Arcade1Up cabinet you don’t even have to leave your home to play some classic games. What’s more, the Arcade1Up Partycade includes 8 games in 1, or rather it’s 8 machines in one small Countercade unit.

Ms. Pac-Man: Ms. Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, Dig Dug 2, Pac & Pal, Pac-Man Plus, Galaxy, Galaxian, and Dig Dug

As you can see, both include 8 games each. Most, if not all games, support one or two players.

The volume is adjustable, with a 17-inch color LCD screen to show all the action. Each arcade cabinet has original artwork on the exterior in the style you choose, with a clear deck protector included to keep the main player section safe and clean. The unit can mount on a wall, on the back of a door, or it can rest on a tabletop or counter — entirely up to you. The mounting hardware is included, you’ll just need the tools to hang it.

Normally $300, QVC is offering the Arcade1Up Partycade for $210 with $10 for shipping and handling. That’s over $90 off, and the total cost can be spread across financed payments if you prefer. If you love classic arcade games and want to add an arcade cabinet to your home, this is one of the best ways to go.

Every new Game of Thrones spinoff explained

George R.R. Martin's television world continues to grow

Matt Smith starring in House of the Dragon

When it first aired on HBO in the early 2010s, Game of Thrones dazzled audiences with revolutionary special effects and terrific acting in a unique fantasy world. Based on author George R.R. Martin's series of novels, the universe depicts the battles between several different noble families as they try to climb to the top of the continent of Westeros, both politically and figuratively. The war scenes, family drama, and massive number of characters helped make the story feel fresh and new every time a new episode aired.

As Martin's attention shifted to television and away from his books, fans have looked to the TV series to finish some of the stories he couldn't finish on the page. Game of Thrones left fans wanting more, despite its poorly received finale, and a plethora of spinoffs are on the way. House of the Dragon already has two seasons completed, and there are several others in the coming years to look forward to.
House of the Dragon
House of the Dragon finished its second season in 2024. The show chronicles the heated family dynamics of the Targaryen empire almost two centuries before the events of Game of Thrones. The third season should pick up the civil war between Queen Rhaenyra's forces and King Aegon's after a slow-building conflict throughout the second act.
