^ Similar to that one, IIRC The Last of Us has a few arcade cabinets here and there, but none of them are playable. In the DLC you come a little closer with Ellie "playing" an arcade cabinet by closing her eyes and her friend giving her cues.

I don't remember reading about that one in the thread, maybe I'm wrong, but it's a big one, so here goes nothing: - DMC: Devil May Cry, in the first level you pass by a gigantic arcade with lots of cabinets. Some are ON; there is a Street Fighter 2 stand-up cabinet which is on; it displays Ryu and Ken in the original Street Fighter 2 Ryu stage, and they are animated in their idle stance. The cabinets are not playable. DMC is really a pretty good game, I think, by the way. EDIT: shoot, it was just brought up in the previous page. Oh, well, I'll let my post be, let's say the video will help you find it should you want to use it...

I forget if playable consoles in video games count but Yume Nikki has the NASU minigame: yumenikki.wikia.com/wiki/NASUAlso, I think No More Heroes 1 and 2 had playable minigame consoles.

Catherine has an arcade machine called Rapunzel in the Stray Sheep; its gameplay is remarkably similar to the main puzzles, though limited by number of moves instead of by time. I thought that was rather cool. Obviously the game was more advanced than anything from the era, but the art design and colors were dead-on for a lot of early 80's arcade games (especially the cabinet art). I thought that was a really cool detail - one of my fond memories from childhood was going to "bar restaurants" because more often than not they'd have at least one arcade machine and my folks would give me change to play until the food was ready. Ah, memories... For me, it was playing 1942 on a table cabinet while we were waiting for the pizzas to be made... Great childhood stuff you just reminded me of, nice.

Now you reminded me, the Pizza Hut chain restaurants usually had cocktail game tables to play while you were waiting. I always looked forward to those (although the controls would usually be greasy).

Getting one of those cocktail cabinets is a lifelong dream. It was basically the only type of cabinet available where I lived, always in restaurants and pubs. rygar, Choplifter, Bombjack, Arkanoid, Kung-Fu Master, Galaxian, all played and dearly loved on those magical tables. Basically where and how it all started. I remember public pools often rocked one or two... Just thinking about Choplifter, I can smell the chlorine.
