Track ball is great. Sound is really nice. Great screen. No complaints at all. Light weight and looks great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The visuals are blurry and my main action button is not terribly responsive. OK so I got it. I love it. Unlike the other that had loud or no sound at all this has a volume that slides up and down. And because I'm a guitar player I have really bad tinnitus. I hear a air hose and radio static. Sometimes a ringing. So I love the volume. The visuals are great for me. I love the look. The buttons and joy stick is amazing. The games play so great. This is a wonderful product. I would have and everyone else would have killed for one in the 1980's. Dig Dugs 2 is ok but I wish was the first Digs Dug was on it. That is my only complaint. It is so wonderful and smaller than the other one. The sound is crisp and the cabinet is so cute like a Care Bare. I'm so glad we own it. Arcade 1 up did a amazing job getting the China factory of products to get some amazing quality control and finally a 9 out of a 10 for me.

The heavy visual filtering really bugs me, but it's probably one of those things like incorrect aspect ratios that bothers some people and not others.

Most Arcade 1 Up products for me is a hit or a miss. I own the Street Fighter. It is decent. But the MRS. Pacman min cade is awsome. And for me to give it a 9 out of a 10 is great and rare.

simbalion Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'd like to check out these countercades, but no-one around here carries them in store anymore. Target carried them briefly last year and then up and quit. Even their site now states they are not carried in store. Oh well, one less reason for me to go to brick and mortar retail and I don't want one bad enough to try and have it delivered and probably damaged by our inept delivery services. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are about 60 on ebay right now. Half are decently priced starting at $120. I bought a used Centipede one for $100, and it was fine. But there are new, unused ones too. They're not hard to pack right, and have plenty of protection. I've gotten 4 partycades, and 3 countercades in the mail. Haven't had one scratch on them during shipping. I wouldn't go higher than $150 for a brand new one. later -1 Edited February 14, 2021 by negative1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

128Kgames Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 So 2 player Rampage makes no sense, and I wonder if Defender will be any better with is layout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyous Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I love Toobin', but it's a missed opportunity putting it on a horizontal screen. And generally speaking I just hate seeing Atari Games and Williams titles lumped under the Midway brand. Just another instance of the less-talented group winning out in business. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's just my perception, but it really seems as though the short amount of time between cabinet releases is noticeably resulting in a 'quantity over quality' approach.

Fortunately the vast majority of players won't have a clue or care, because its 'paperboy'. Not like 'star wars' or outrun, etc. later -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
