Housed in a blue cabinet bearing Berzerk artwork, the Frenzy Mini Arcade Machine carries on the saga, offering intense gameplay and continuous action. Finally, TopRacer, a quintessential racing game from 1993, is making a big comeback. It features a soundtrack from the famous Barry Leitch and a steering wheel to ensure an authentic racing experience.
