    So can you say what the hardware is your using now? I don't see why not. It could just be ripped open by anyone and shown to the world so why not do that yourself? Better to be upfront with your customers right? Is it the same hardware as your last effort?

     

     

     

    Hey Shawn,

     

    The hardware is similar and we do plan to show it off in a video before they are released. You are correct that it's better to release it ourselves and that is what we plan on doing!

     

    For the Indiegogo campaign, we had that up (for a slightly more expensive price) for some early adopters that missed the boat. The Indiegogo campaign is now completely over, and anyone who wants to get one does have to pay MSRP. We just wanted to give our community a longer window to pick it up!

    Hey all,



    We are NewWaveToys (the creators of Replicade) and we are back with our second and final Kickstarter!


    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/529306246/replicade-mini-tempest-arcade-machine-replica-12-t



    Just like last time, we are going for a truly authentic feel with our Tempest machine, just in 1/6th scale. It is completely licensed through Atari, which allows us to use all the original art as well as the original ROM.



    If you are interested, please come check us out as there are only 8 days left on the Kickstarter!

    I backed this project and I am very happy I did. The game looks amazing and I cannot wait until the actual product arrives once it is manufactured.

     

    I am also looking forward to tempest.

     

    I would love to see the nintendo cabs made as those are some amazing games!

     

    I think a TRON or Discs of TRON would also be amazing if it can have some glowing parts! I however am a dreamer.. haha

     

    Thanks imstarryeyed!

     

    ​Those would all be awesome ideas!

    Even as someone who adores classic arcade games and owns two full size Atari cabinets, I'm just having a hard time making up my mind on this thing! If they were a bit less expensive (and I get why they cost what they do... it's a really nice looking product!) or played more games (tossing in Millipede would have been great!), it would be a no-brainer. As-is, I'm still leaning toward buying in, but I can't help but wish it was an easier decision!

     

    Don't get me wrong, I think it's a fantastic product for someone who's craving a really authentic miniaturized replica of the arcade machine, and I do think the price is right for what that is. It's just that the sweet spot for me would have been something less authentically styled, but with larger controls. Something with the form factor of the old Coleco games, but with fully authentic gameplay and ideally a selection of a few different games, would be perfect for me. Heck, I'd be buying them as presents for any friends who liked classic games at all! But I do understand that would be more of a casual toy product instead of the collector's item that's being offering here.

     

    I do appreciate that these mini-cabinets are trying to do justice to these beloved arcade games! I really do hope this is a successful product, whether or not I end up buying in myself.

     

     

     

    Oh, who the hell am I kidding? I gotta have this! Pledged!

     

    Thanks for backing us Sdamon!

    I'm curious how playable this really is. I mean, could someone expect to get nearly the same scores on this device as they could on a full-size cabinet?

     

    Hey Sdamon,

     

    It is actually very playable. We got a lot of positive impressions from IndieCade, where everyone was surprised with the responsiveness of the trackball. We are also aiming to release videos and livestreams, as well as have media show it off, to show the playability.

    Also curious about what all goes into these that justifies the $160 price tag outside of the kickstarter deal packages? Did atari really ask that much of a cut?

     

    Hey Tanooki,

     

    To have the authentic look and feel, we used higher quality parts (including the die-cast metal for the coin doors), which makes it cost more to make than you might think. Of course, there are other costs that we have to have in order to be able to launch this product.

     

    That is one of the reasons why the Kickstarter route is so great, it allows us to give backers a discount to help us launch Replicade. Thanks for the question!

    What emulator is used?

     

    Hey Keatah,

     

    All I can say at the moment is that it is a closed system that boots directly into the official Centipede ROM. The settings button on the machine goes into the original arcade settings on the cabinet (so changing difficulty and all the tools the original operators had but nothing like save states). Hope I was able to give a little clarity.

    We posted on the Replicade thread, but we also wanted to create our own. If you have any questions about the Centipede machine or anything else, feel free to ask! (although I may not be able to answer everything).post-62298-0-48348400-1508879135_thumb.png
