You can buy an arcade machine to put in your room in the Sims and Animal Crossings, but they are not playable (which is too bad, seeing how the GCN AC had playable NES-machines in it). Sims 2's DS version does have a playable arcade machine, though: a rather simple Space Invaders clone called Space Armada. |

Yeah, everyone bitching about the cost of collecting retro games seems to either forget or not know that this is what those things cost to begin with. Cheap games didn't truly start until the PS1. huh, how do you mean that. cheap games were very common for 8 bit home computers in europe, esp. in the uk there were tons of cheap games on tapes for a few quid. how do you think stuff like this www.hardcoregaming101.net/kusoge/kusoge-dontbuythis.htm got made..... |

Euro microcomputers are a substantially different case than the dedicated console games market, man.

i know that, but the comment seemed general and not limited to consoles. even with consoles i would argue that like during the video game crash there were cheap console games everywhere. saying cheap games only got there in the mid to late ninties seems weird to me.

Pac-Man World 2 had I think 6(?) different Pac-Man arcade games that you could use once you found the arcade tokens scattered across the levels. Pac-Man World 2 has 4 games: Pac-Man, Pac-Attack, Pac-Mania and Ms. Pac-Man. And you will probably never unlock Ms. Pac-Man... |

Commodore 64 games were free back in the day, so perhaps I should qualify that previous comment as "cheap console games".

$75?! For the game alone? |

So... those games in games, eh? Grandia: Parallel Trippers starts in a modern school with the two dudes playing a link-battle on GameBoys. There's also Star Ocean 2, which has an enemy that looks like a psx(or its controller?)/a psp depending on the version you play. I guess the first terminal in Digital Devil Story: Megami Tensei II counts as some form of gaming device, since you play a game-version of the first dungeon of the previous game on it.

Regarding the machines on RoboCop 2: I'm sure the marquee says Sly Spy.

Regarding consoles in video games, in Timesplitters 2 you can play some small Atari-esque minigames on your character's uplink device once you find the cartridges: timesplitters.wikia.com/wiki/Game_CartridgesI'm not really sure if it counts as an arcade/counsel, but Timesplitters Future Perfect features things like monkey curling(!!!) in the Challenge mode. Last but not leastly (and my favorite), Jet Force Gemini features a slot car racing minigame inside a hidden discotheque on planet Ichor---you can get inside and enjoy the whole place by disguising yourself as one of Mizar's drones. Apparently even fascist space ants get bored---who knew? www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYhKH8ptPJk |

Splatoon will have some kind of arcade machine, with the game(s) available for it also being playable during the wait times in online mode.
I don't know, maybe it'll be out by the time the fourth installment of this hits.

Most examples I knew are already mentioned, but I've got a few more.  Speed Freaks (PS1, 1999) has got an arcade machine in the character select/menu room. After selecting your character, you select the difficulty and tracks using the arcade machine. See video hereSly Cooper: Thieves in Time (aka Sly 4 on PS3) contains 6 arcade machines with mini games, get the highscore on each to win 6 trophies. See video hereBanjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge (GBA, 2003), after finishing the game during the end credits, you can collect N.Kreditzs coins. When the credits finish load your game again and go to Spillers Harbor, somewhere in that level there is an arcade machine. You can use the N.Kreditzs there to play mini-games that you finished already. See video here |

In Star Wars Rogue Squadron III you can unlock the original three Star Wars arcade machines which will appear in your hangar for you to play on. If I remember correctly wasn't the whole premise of Kid Chameleon that you where playing inside a giant virtual reality arcade? Not sure if you ever saw the inside of the place though.. |
