Both of those were popular, are vertical cab games, and of the same classic era - but not necessarily popular enough to warrant their own cab. Gyruss might have worked, but Vanguard is from Centuri, SNK - so there's no way that would ever be included. Frogger never had another arcade sequel, so there really wasn't anything else to add. later -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Point is.. 3 games only when they typically offer 4 with their "varied games" cabs. Thumbs down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrock Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Contra is a vertical game and Konami, like Frogger. It doesn't really go with the "theme", but could have easily been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

128Kgames Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Huge clearance going on at some Walmarts, just like every other Arcade1Up markdown. People are blowing this out of proportion. Honestly, running out to save a few bucks on an arcade game and run the risk of getting infected or infecting someone else is just pure stupidity in my opinion.

People are going out everyday to do their jobs (if they are essential), and get groceries. It's not 'a few' bucks, its a huge difference, down from $499,or $399 down to $50.

I left Contra off my list of games to include with the Frogger cab exactly because of how popular it was. If ARcade1Up were to include it as a title, it would be it's own dedicated cab. Contra was massively popular in the arcade. I have no idea what you're talking about claiming most peopel don't care for it and that there's no interest or historical significance. That's just not true at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walmart is one step below any hospital ER right now as far as how dangerous it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldenWheels Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I think there would be interest in the historical significance of arcade Contra. Then there'd be massive disappointment when people play it and realize it's not the version they remember as a kid (the case for most IMO).

Zoyous Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Well, I was hoping that they might get their pinball tables out by Father's Day, but it was doubtful even before all this other stuff happened. And I haven't heard a peep since the early events in January and February, so... Hopefully they'll still be on track for holiday 2020!

So doesn't seem like even if they offer the bench seat by itself like it will work for cabs with the risers on them, at least not extremely cleanly and easily.
