What's better than having absolute, unrestricted access to two of life's greatest pleasures? We'll tell you: When both of those pleasures are combined into a single, brilliant machine. The Custom Bar Guys have created just such a mash-up with The Gamerator (http://www.thegamerator.com/index.htm): An arcade cabinet that contains a refrigerated chamber, in which you can store a pony keg of your favorite beer. You can hook said keg up to a built-in tap, and enjoy a frosty beverage while playing one of the machine's 100 emulated arcade classics. We guess you could enjoy several beverages, though after a while, that's going to throw off your Sinistar game.

It will run you $3,500, which is a substantial sum of money. However, we're talking about an arcade cabinet with cupholders and a built-in tap, upon which you can actually play Root Beer Tapper. We dare you to find a better way to spend three-and-a-half Gs.

It is a neat idea, but $3500 for just an arcade cabinet with a built in fridge is too expensive. With that amount of money I can make my own for probably under $500. The only people that I see buying this at the price it is selling for is people who have more money than they know what to do with.

This is a must for the guy at Classic Game Room... He loves his "Track Ball" and a nice cold beer. :cool:
