That's a legit Namco product that also comes in a tabletop cabinet which actually looks a little regal.
You just aren't gonna see new games with CRT displays any more. I wonder if that's really a 4-way joystick or not. Most of the titles call for 4-way, but Xevious and Dragon Spirit would suck without an 8-way. Stick with one or the other, I say. No pun intended.

I wonder what the quality is like? The upright version reminds me a little of that Williams cabinet that came out a few years ago. I saw one of those in Costco at the time, the monitor was a tiny, blurry little CRT and the controls felt super chintzy, like one of those $10 TV games.

Well, that was a $400 consumer product and this is a $2500+ quasi-commercial product. It's actually pretty cheap in pricing, but then again, it's not running high-end hardware by any means. My guess is half the production goes straight to home sales. I'm sure Justin Beiber will have one in each mansion's gameroom.
