About On the Table Función Primaria: Mesa Arcade
Texto do Libro: Esta consola de videoxogos de estilo arcade está deseñada para xogar a videoxogos clásicos das décadas de 1980 e 1990 e está dirixida a adultos que medraron con eses xogos. Aínda que unha consola de xogos convencional pode non combinar cun interior refinado, este deseño ofrece unha alternativa multifuncional. Cando non se usa para xogar, a consola transfórmase nunha elegante mesa de centro moderna, permitíndolle integrarse perfectamente nos espazos de vida contemporáneos.
