Slowly I am adding more games to my arcade room. Currently each game is plugged into its own individual surge protector that is then plugged into its own outlet. I power each game up using its intended power switch on the back of each individual cabinet.

Question: if I put two games next to each other, it will be impossible to reach my hand down to power up the cabinets. Can I plug two cabinets into one single power strip?  Then leave both games turned on and use the power button on the power strip/surge protector to power both games in simultaneously?

Yes, I do this upstairs.I have Ms. Pac-Man and Centipede on one power strip and turn the game on with the power strip. Nothing wrong with that!
