linked arcade machines for two-player versus play
Refers to arcade cabinets physically connected for head-to-head play, common in fighting games and older setups.
That arcade has many linked versus cabinets lined up.
I enjoyed a fighting game with a friend on the linked machines.
Compound of 対戦 (taisen, 'versus') and 台 (dai, 'stand' or 'machine'), referring to arcade cabinets set up for competitive play.
