The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.

ipodmame Brings Classic Arcade Emulation To An iPod Near You
By James Grahame
The brilliantly misguided folks over at iPodLinux have succeeded in porting a very limited version of the MAME Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator to the iPod. So far, it only plays Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man on the iPod Nano and 5G. I look forward to a few more games coming soon, although I suspect the gamer-hostile clickwheel interface will turn out to be a significant hindrance for those games requiring anything more than 8-directional joysticking.
Don't hold your breath for an iPod version of Defender unless Apple adds a few more controls to their future hardware. Still, this thing is tons cooler than paying $1.99 to watch a teeny version of a TV program that aired last night.
