Arcade 1UP

Anyone else checked these out? Essentially they are mini versions of arcade cabinets that run multiple games. I think they pretty cool and wouldnt mind picking some up like the Street Fighter 2 and Final Fight onesbut not sure what I would do with them. Im sure they run on MAME also so you can probably hack them. Cant find any pics to upload so you have to check out the website.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Yeah, I was looking at these last week. Walmart had them available for preorder at $299. I didn't realize you had to do a bit of work to put them together though. I'd dig the Street Fighter one as well, but I don't think i'd end up using them that much over just playing on a regular console.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I got excited when I first saw these, but then I saw how small they are. The screen is only 17" and the cabinet is something like 2/3 size.

I would love a full size one that I could pop my Raspberry Pi in.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I am very interested in these. I already have quite a few real arcade games, but I'm really digging the look and price point of these. Of course the riser will be absolutely necessary, otherwise these are ridiculous.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I'd mostly be interested in the Centipede cabinet, as the track-ball is something you can't recreate on an emulator - I also have a soft-spot for Crystal Castles.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

You can find plans online for how to built one yourself. It's not as hard as you might think.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

More incoming.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Golden Tee and Mortal Kombat Machines would be killer together.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

If I was to get any of them the Pac-Man would probably be it. They’re pretty cool but part of me thinks if I really wanted a cabinet I’d be happier with a real one though.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Even though I know better, it's going to be hard to resist that MKII machine. I always dreamed of owning one.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Man, I really want that Final Fight, Mortal Kombat and Karate Champ one just for Bad Dudes.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

The choices for the Capcom one are kind of odd. I think they should have chosen Ghouls 'N Ghosts and 1941, as those were released on the same CPS hardware as the other two games and within the same timeframe. 1944 didn't come out until 2000.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I got Galaga for Christmas.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

What do you think of it? Size, performance, comfort? How was assembling it? It seems like it would be a cool thing to get.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I saw these in Walmart last year and at first thought they looked cool, but once I felt the stick and buttons it put me off right away. They feel very cheaply made. After saw some of the Raspberry Pi gaming boards sold by a local company here and they were slightly better, but also felt cheap. I was going to go through route of a home made system using a Raspberry Pi, but after reading up on the NVidia Shield I think went with that. Its superb and does so much more than just games.

These things look cool, but don't live up to the high cost.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I don't know Bad Dudes but I played the shit out of Burger Time back in the day. When I was a Pediatric resident at Long Beach Memorial I would sometimes be up all night and when I had some downtime (waiting for labs or admissions or stuff), I'd play that game as they had a machine in the Pediatric Oncology waiting room that was, of course, empty overnight. I wish that was the artwork on that machine. I would buy it.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I ended up finding a SFII for $200 a couple weeks ago. I figured that would give me and extra hundred to upgrade the innards. I went the ETA Prime route and I'm pretty happy with it. To be clear, I'm someone who doesn't have the tools/woodworking/space to build my own. With the decent LCD in the cab, I feel like it was well worth the money. My 5-year old has discovered that the X-Men brawler is her favorite game of all time.

Of course, once I posted what I was doing on FB, I had a friend with all the above ask me if I'd help him build one and threw out that it would be pretty easy to build two full sized cabs since we'd already be doing one. Now to work on the wife as to why I need a second machine/sell the first and reinvest.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I've played a few at different WMs and agree with you on the build quality. I also thought they felt sluggish and not as responsive as they should have. I would pick up a Pac Man for the basement for $100 for pure nostalgia but that would be my limit.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Rumors are that a NBA Jam arcade cabinet will be released this fall. I would love to have one if it's true.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I will buy this I don't care how shitty it is.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

If they do Jam then I imagine Blitz would be in the pipeline soon too. That would be a fun combination.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I would imagine NBA Jam would be a non-starter because I'm sure the NBA Player Association license deal would have long-since expired and would be too expensive now. And I don't even know if you could license all those old players if you wanted to. They're not part of the NBAPA anymore.

I can't think of any old sports games with licensed players that have been re-released with those same players still included.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Galaga is a good one. I'm thinking Robotron. And Defender. I was good at Robotron and sucked at Defender but dammint if I wouldn't waste hours playing those games now.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Defender is all about the controls, and the Rampage control panel wouldn't cut it, for me.

Then again, I have a Stargate machine, so I'm spoiled in that regard. :)

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Got this sexy beast yesterday:

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Ooo sexy, finally a 1UP I really want.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

^Looks nice!

I finally got my Stargate up and running, a week or two ago. Still troubleshooting a sound issue, and will have to do some monitor work.

Things should be a lot simpler with units like yours using LCD monitors.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

If I had one of those, I would never get anything done, plus I would be divorced. I played the heck out of MK II back in the day.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

My WM has as stack of these and I almost bought it but I know I will buy it and it will be primarily to impress people who come to my house and not for me to play it beyond the initial few days of owning it. Like almost everything else I own, lol.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

I know what you mean. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I have a Raspberry Pi with 1000's of games that just collects dust, lol... I would love to have a Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, and possibly NBA Jam lined up next to each other. That would be my junior high self's wet dream! They probably wouldn't get played that often though.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Some of the Walmart stores have a couple of the Arcade1Up cabinets on clearance for $75 (YMMV).

I was able to find the Asteroids cabinet, but not the Centipede cabinet. Brickseek shows one, but the store couldn't find it. The next closest store still has it selling for $150.

Asteroids https://brickseek.com/walmart-invent...?sku=828150107
Centipede https://brickseek.com/walmart-invent...?sku=617089098

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Oh man, the walmart closest to me has Centipede for $75 - that is highly tempting.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Local Wally had 3 listed but 0 in stores.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Did you get them to check in the back? They are really bad about getting these out on the sales floor.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Damn two more good ones coming. Now why the fuck can't we just get a disc with all of these?

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Fuck, 4 player Turtles. I might have to break down.

Re: Arcade 1UP
 

Whew. That Marvel may be the one. I spent countless quarters on those 3 games.

If only it had 4 sticks and X-Men, but i could see that getting a solo release.
