Did this size / form factor of pinball machine have a name?

I recently played Revenge From Mars at an arcade the other day and the size of the machine would be perfect for my place. It still plays like a full size arcade, but with a smaller foot print. I would like to find one to purchase maybe later this summer, but wanted to see if there were more options of games, because I am in love with the form factor. Thanks in advance!

What were these smaller arcade cabinets called?

I would love to buy one of these smaller arcade cabs, but don't even know what they are called. I played a mini one of these with Ms. Pac-Man while at the Barcade in the East Village recently. Then saw both of these in SF at a cool arcade, but don't know what term there was to describe them & had no luck finding it online or with google. Can anyone offer a tip to help out?

Do you mostly play just one game in the series?

or do you bounce around to different games with a decent level of frequency?

as for me I play mostly SF6, but still play tons of Alpha 2 and SF2: Hyper Fighting. I was just curious to see where everyone else was at with it.

Who is your favorite supplier for CRT monitors?

I would love to find a good source for monitors in Southern California. If anyone has a good lead please let me know, as I am on the market for a replacement for my Dynamo HS-2. Thanks!

I wish there was an option to buy an Anbernic in this form factor.

I have a couple of Anbernic devices and love them both, but I wish so bad they would put out something like this, cause I would have played the heck out of it. This one is made by Powkiddy, but I just know that Anbernic would blow this one out of the water.

I am going to be using a new old stock Toshiba mini NB200 for simple tasks soon. I don’t plan on taking it online for much other than the occasional update or to back up data from time to time. It will be running Windows 7, but could potentially have another vintage PC soon running XP and wanted to know what the recommended protocol would be for them.

A bit of background, I will not be surfing the web on them or doing much online. In fact, I am specifically going to be using them to get some writing done w/o having to get thrown off track with modern distractions, notifications, etc.

I am moderately savvy but would like to use something simple and effective for keeping the computers (and my network safe) from viruses online, so the Firewalla Purple looked tempting for my needs. But I defer to all of you, who I am certain know much more about the issue than me.

I saw MLovechilde raving about it in one of his youtube videos, so I thought I would give it a try. I might use it to hook up my PS3, PS2 or Xbox 360 to one of my arcade cabs, but wanted to see if any of you have had luck with it in the past.

After getting an update on March 27th that it was being fulfilled, I finally got a tracking number this morning. Not sure how much longer I have or when it will actually be received by the shipping company, but I am excited to finally get my hands on it soon.

I have been inspired by a lot of the retro tech creations of Love Hulten and the like and thought it might be kinda cool to take an old PC that would otherwise be e-waste and updating it with the internals to play classic games. Maybe w a MiSTer FPGA or Pi inside of it. Anyone ever tackled a similar project?
