  1. it's not a complete 1-1 to mapping. there are different games on there also. so some are better, also the button layout is pretty terrible, they have all the buttons on the wrong side for missile command, and the spinner is an awkard place. so there will be issues right off the bat. later -1
  2. don't go by his gameplay, quantum is fine, he just doesn't know how to play well. he didn't realize you can jump in crystal castles either. his movements are too slow on pretty much all the games. the thing about centipede being too sensitive is wrong too. i have version 2, and have hit a million at least 8 times with it now. later -1
  3. of course, it is possible to mod it, but then it probably wouldn't interface with the solenoids, and other hardware parts. people would have to figure out how to get all the tilt, and shaking, and plunger mechanisms working. later -1
  4. the listing for the standup version of outrun is coming up: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/arcade1up-outrun-w-riser-lght-marquee/6441988.p?skuId=6441988&irclickid=Rir3PBVeexyOW1r0TWXZ0S3wUkEU%3AUXNISYYyk0&irgwc=1&ref=198&loc=Unqualified Critics&acampID=0&mpid=1878820 later -1
  5. been awhile: micro arcade ms pac-man, eh, it seems ok: later -1
  6. arcade 1up did incredibly well last year: Mat Piscatella @MatPiscatella Arcade Cabinets were one of the better Hardware performers in US Video Games during Q4. Double digit growth, ranking 4th in hardware dollars, trailing only Switch, PS4 and Xbox One. The Plug N Play segment, on the other hand, experienced sharp declines.

  7. Great, looking forward to them. later -1
  8. probably a few more months for trackball V3, they are still testing it. later -1
  9. how is this coming along. would be interesting to put this in the new arcade 1up Tempest machine eventually for major havoc. later -1
  10. glens grs star wars yoke its in the amazon store now, $265, coming out in april. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L7TVCM2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_6zxbGbK5MB4Z7?fbclid=IwAR3c0S9rMSjoVbSLNVG_iR-3qah9divJ2HaUd8R8302fYaV-pNiAzDmOyxM later -1
  11. Nintendo has nothing to do with this new version. It's a all microsoft since they own rare. Simpsons may happen eventually, wait for CES. later -1

  13. i have a mint condition pac-man 1st gen, that i've modded heavily. never had a problem with it. but the first thing i did was replace the buttons, and the joystick to arcade quality. made a huge difference. yes, the stock stick was fine (killscreened with it), but it was subpar. yes, arcade 1up has come some ways since 2 years ago. but they're still making basic mistakes: ---------- bilinear filtering on games is a big no no, when pixel perfect should be default or an option. only a few games are being patched now, (and not even every version), to fix that. basic games don't work properly or have wrong game settings - every single version of super breakout is broken, and no fix in sight, i've told them about it, but no response 3 spinner games don't work right on their asteroids partycade, and again no response audio problems (too loud, too soft) on several cabinets. ==================== they have way too many q and a problems, and i dont' think they'll fix it, because they really don't care about the small amount of people that care, or know better. only things like: galaga and galaxian having the wrong buttons for firing got fixed, or something higher profile. ==================== sure, the premium cabinets seem to be better off, but that's why, because you're paying more for better quality, better testing, and better emulation. all the standard cabinets, are just the same rehashed releases since generation 1, with the same poor controls. the first thing to do when buying these cabinets is too replace all the controls, and secondly to mod them, so you can actually play the games properly, and put more games on them. later -1
  14. they are considering slanting the screen, but it might be too late in the manufacturing process. i wish they would slant the control panel. the marquee is recessed, because it blocks line of sight to the monitor (which would be fixed by slanting the screen) they're still taking suggestions so who knows. the bigger issue is the buttons are all screwed up, and need to be fixed. also the game emulation is poor, and the settings are wrong for certain games. thats a problem. its a dedicated all in one HP PC, that way its self contained, and its way more powerful that it needs to be. i show the screens, and clicking on mame. details here: because they are eventually planning, and hopefully will do the trilogy : robotron 2084, smash tv, total carnage. or another williams compilation. later -1
  15. yes, i added a trackball for the trackball games, major havoc can be played with either a spinner or trackball. actually, i'm ok at quantum, need a lot of work to get to the higher levels. ha ha well, they also have tapper, which had a specific controller, and joust had a 2 way horizontal stick, defender had a 2 way vertical stick, etc, etc. basically, they grab a bunch of licenses, slap them on a machine, without any thought as too which ones, just because a lot of people requested them. they don't actually play them, or test them, and i doubt most even know anything about the games, (like the button layout for defender) etc. sad, i know. later -1
  16. right, horizontal sadly, they won't change anything, because i don't see them adding a 3rd joystick. basically, unless they modify the rom, they will make it so you can only play as 2 of the characters. later -1
  17. Pre-orders $399 - again, it will most likely be a horziontal screen (same screenshots) https://www.gamestop.com/consoles-hardware/arcades/full-size-arcades/products/atari-game-cabinet-with-riser-legacy-edition/11114220.html?condition=New&utm_source=rakutenls&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_content=VigLink&utm_campaign=10&utm_kxconfid=tebx5rmj3&cid=afl_10000087&affID=77777&sourceID=je6NUbpObpQ-9uGC_fc9D8rH.bADXzNA4g later -1

  19. i'm going by the 2 partycades that were just released, which most likely will be exactly the same games ported to this standup. 1) no, the emulation will be exactly the same as before, no changes 2) they have never used backgrounds before, so they won't now either 3) it's not even confirmed to be a vertical monitor, so it's the other way around 9/12 games horizontal 3/12 hortizontal i have already modded my partycade, added the proper controls and settings, and all the backdrops for the games asteroids, asteroids deluxe, lunar lander, and warlords: this will have to be modded to do what you are expecting. later -1
  20. Probably a lot better, and closer to arcade quality for that price. later -1
