NE146 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Yeah I think the only reason why they went with Rampage was because it coincided with the release of the Rampage movie (with the Rock). Such an unfortunate choice.. had they chosen Joust or Defender artwork, or a combo of some sort, I think that would have been better received. THOSE are the classic cabs, not Rampage. Actually I still think they should just do a standard multi-Williams cab with Defender/Stargate/Joust/Robotron. Similar to the the full blown ones that go for a few grand, but in standard cheapo Arcade1up style. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting the wallcade because it actually has enough space for the controls. Don't care for Defender artwork though, i prefer joust. later -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Debt Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I have been racking my brain trying to make the Defender control panel work for all 4 games and this is what I cam up with so far: The Defender buttons are marked and you would use the left Joy Stick Joust would use the red J/F button for FLAP Rampage would use the red J/F button for JUMP and the white P/M button for PUNCH Gauntlet would use the red J/F button for FIRE and the white P/M button for MAGIC (I never played this game so I'm not sure about these controls) I mostly want to play Defender and Joust but might play Rampage. Not to sure if I would play Gauntlet. Anyone think this would work? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting this one for $150 was a good deal. Also helps that there are easy kits to mod them now instead of having to hack shit together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus nowhere near me has them in stock. The only brick and mortar stores in my area still carrying them are Walmart's, nobody else is stocking them. I'm not really enthused with getting one shipped to my house, because our usual UPS guy is a lazy asshole, He'll leave it out in the rain uncovered on my front stairs instead of carrying it to my covered side porch. I might pick up a Galaga in a few weeks when they get a bit cheaper and mod that one, so I can keep the Pac-Man stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, for those interested, it's up to individual store managers to price products, so it's inconsistent and varies by location.

Funny, shortly after I purchased the pair... I noticed they went back up in price to $299. Two Walmart's by me both received new stock of Asteroids and Centipede and priced back at MSRP after they "closed" them out at $150. Exactly par for the Walmart course. And yes, I had an employee scan the UPC to verify the $299 price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 fwiw, the Asteroids cabs at my Walmart were always $299 even when they had 3 of them and were the only arcade1up cabs left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Debt Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Thanks to Bill I just picked up a regular Asteroids at Wal-Mart for $75 I hope this has the right kind of LCD to be used as a horizontal 60-1, if not I can return it. If you're really knowledgeable about building machines and wouldn't mind discussing the subject via a phone call message me with your number and a good time to call.

Austin Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) If I could find one of the first runs for $75 (any game set, really), I'd jump on it right away. The local Wal-Marts near me have been keeping these things at full price, and the cheapest Wal-Mart's website will go on the Centipede when I checked yesterday is about $170 or so.

Unfortunately, for those interested, it's up to individual store managers to price products, so it's inconsistent and varies by location. Yeah - apparently most Walmart's are semi-independently owned/franchises, so they don't have to honor the same price that another local/regional store might have, and it's entirely up to the discretion of the local manager. They also don't price match anywhere but the Walmart.com website, so if another store 3 towns over from you is having a sale on sometime, but your closest one isn't - you're more than likely going to have to take the longer hike to get the better price. Also - I just figured out why mine was $150. They were closing out the old leftover Black Friday/December Pac-Man stock that has the wrong molding/piping. I didn't even realize it until last night, but mine is missing the red edge molding - instead it's just black. So I guess mine was a "Special Edition" LOL. Apparently they made about 800 with black molding before catching the mistake and making the rest with the red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earl Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 It appears that Defender is definitely coming which I'm extremely excited about that!! But wouldn't it just be a natural to have a cabinet with Defender and Stargate together?? Also what about a Cabinet with Tron , Gorf and Zaxxon since they all used the same type of controller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
