arcade cabinet

Coin-operated game enclosure

An arcade cabinet is the freestanding enclosure housing a coin-operated video game, typically found in arcades, bars, and entertainment venues.

The cabinet integrates the screen, controls, speakers, and hardware into a single unit, often with distinctive artwork on the sides.

Classic games like *Pac-Man* and *Street Fighter II* are associated with their iconic cabinets.

The basement had three vintage arcade cabinets from the 1980s.
