Now that this is Unofficial Official Retro Gaming Week at KFR, I thought I’d pitch in with something I recently discovered. If the thought of having an actual arcade machine in your home is appealing to you — owning a Pac-Man arcade cabinet is something I’ve always kind of dreamed of — but you don’t have the means or space, there is still a way to bring a piece of your favorite game and memories of crowded, loud, and smelly arcades into the living room: arcade headers/marquees.
