The mini cabinet runs on a lithium-ion battery to let you play where you want, and New Wave is promising "lag-free" performance through its chipset.

New Wave is crowdfunding the project, and backers can pledge $90 or more to get a Centipede system of their own starting in April 2018. That sounds like a lot, but the company expects to price the mini cabinet at $160 when it hits retail. This isn't for those of us who are happy to save some money by playing Atari classics on PCs and consoles -- it's for those who want to relive the arcade's heyday while making a few concessions to modern realities.
