It’s practically the low-budget version of Pixels by onemoreprod and Patrick Jean, though I wouldn’t call it a rip-off.

Excalibur’s Desktop Arcade games come in both Space Invaders and Frogger models, and have a tiny little arcade style cabinet, joystick and a small backlit LCD color screen.

They also play the authentic sounds and music of their birth parents (audio can be quickly muted when the boss comes around). While they’re not exactly the same as the original arcade games (think Nintendo’s classic Game & Watch collection), they do look cool sitting on your desk.

You can find them both over on Amazon (Frogger | Space Invaders) for about $29 each.
