Arcade1Up And TaskRabbit Team Up To Help Take The Stress Out Of Cabinet Building
18.04.2024 - 16:07 / thegamer.com
Arcade1Up has been providing us with the chance to have our very own arcades at home for the past six years, whether it's just the one machine we're after for a hit of nostalgia, or we're looking to turn an entire room into our very own retro arcade. A more appealing option than ever before with actual arcades disappearing left and right. While the idea of an in-house arcade is appealing, actually building the cabinets to make that a reality is pretty daunting. That's where TaskRabbit comes in.
More specifically, that's where TaskRabbit's newly-formed partnership with Arcade1Up comes in. The cabinet-makers have teamed up with TaskRabbit - a service that connects customers with professionals who provide freelance labor - to help take the stress out of the assembly stage of owning your own arcade cabinet. Starting right now, you can use TaskRabbit to find people specifically tasked with helping people build their Arcade1Up cabinets and pinball machines.
When using the TaskRabbit app, there should be an option to select someone who can help you with the assembly of your Arcade1Up product. Simply choose that option and schedule when exactly you'd like them to come help you out. To make this new opportunity even better, TaskRabbit is offering all of its new Arcade1Up customers a discount for a limited time. Enter the code ARCADE1UP10 at checkout (10ARCADE1UP in Canada) and you'll get $10 off your order, valid from now until October 1, 2024.
If you've been thinking about buying your very first Arcade1Up cabinet, it might come as a shock to you that they don't arrive ready to go. It certainly did to me the first time I considered grabbing one. Sending an already-built arcade cabinet through the mail would cost a fortune in postage though, and without a van picking one up in-store would be impossible. It makes sense that a lot of assembly is required, and if that was the step stopping you from embarking on your own at-home arcade adventure, TaskRabbit is now here to help.
The list of options available continues to grow too as the minds behind Arcade1Up team up with big names to bring iconic games from the arcades of old into 2024 and our homes. Earlier this year it released a very special X-Men '97 cabinet to celebrate the rebooted show debuting on Disney Plus. On top of the cabinet being decked out in artwork from the show, it's loaded up with eight games starring Marvel's famous mutants, has two panels for multiplayer play, and Wi-Fi capability so you can check global scoreboards and compete with others.

For years Fallout fans have wondered if a video game in the franchise will ever leave the United States for another country. According to Fallout lore, the nuclear war of 2077 upon which the franchise is based was not localized to the U.S., but a global event.
