If anyone has an Arcadia 2001 or a clone, here are some custom covers:

That is very ambitious indeed!  Where there any ports that used that perspective back then?  I can't remember any.

I can't remember any football games using an isometric viewpoint until FIFA came out, people called it revolutionary too. Hence why I was so surprised when I saw this Arcadia game!

Very nice cover use.

I really like the look of Alien Invaders, very nice take on Space Invaders, just a shame this video has no sound.

The more I see of this machine the more I am intrigued by it, if I wasn't so skint I would probably try and pick one up. Maybe I will see what the emulation is like for it.

I am intrigued by this console myself.  It doesn't have a huge library but I really can't get another system.  I'd have to hang it from the ceiling!  LOL

I have a very similar problem! Since I got my Dreamcast I now have my TurboGrafx sitting on top of the CD-i. There really isn't any space anywhere for another console. I already moved the computers upstairs!

I didn't realise just how many different people produced a version of this console until I looked at the Wikipedia page! 

I was also interested to see that Bandai sold the machine in Japan and actually made some Jap exclusive games for the system themselves.

I came across the Arcadia Central website that lists every game for machine, different variations, manuals, ROMs, emulators and just about everything you need to know about the machine.

Very interesting indeed.

Just came across this vid that shows 20 games, albeit briefly:

Pretty cool!  You can't blink while watching the video, though!  LOL  Nice collection of games, clearly many clones of arcade games.  They don't look bad either.

[TL]

Yeah, I think if I ever do pick one up I will get one of these:

[TrekMD]

Even better!

Nice!

Nice video.  The game actually looks fairly good for a Berzerk clone but it does play a bit slow but I like the concept of that thing that shoots from the middle.  I guess that's the equivalent of Otto.
