Here is Alex Rodriguez (“A-Rod”) meeting with business people for a business meeting regarding his business (“A-Rod Corp”). No big deal.
A-Rod has an ‘A-Rodcade’ and we need to know which games are on it
Street Fighter II? Street Fighter III? What about Turtles in Time? We have to get to the bottom of this.
Everything looks to be in order, and ... waaaaaait a sec, ENHANCE.
A-Rod has an ... A-Rodcade?
What games are on this?
WHAT GAMES ARE ON THIS?
While our official inquiries have not been returned as of press time, we do have a couple of clues.
1. There is a trackball
This is important.
2. There are three visible joysticks, and I’m assuming there’s a fourth
Right, right, good. This helps.
3. Each joystick comes with what looks like a seven-button setup
Very important for fighting games. I think we can distill this information into a definitive list of what A-Rod has on his A-Rodcade.
- Golden Tee
- NBA Jam (with A-Rod as a playable character that has superior stats to Ken Griffey, Jr.’s playable character)

- Dig Dug
- Wait, I’ll bet that’s nothing but a cabinet with 30 different versions of Dig Dug
- It’s nothing but Dig Dug
- Sorry, everyone
- [imagines A-Rod playing Dig Dug with a trackball]
- “Stupid thing’s broken. I can’t do anything in this game.”
There’s a chance — a small chance — that this isn’t the exact list of games on the A-Rodcade, but the important thing here is that the A-Rodcade exists, and there are definitely games on it.
Also, please note that I would like to play Golden Tee with A-Rod. If you could pass that along, it will help my efforts on this end. Thanks.
