Keatah Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I think I like the slim "partycade" form factor. But the jury's still out when I compare it against the now-traditional (dare I say dated) barcade format. Those are the ones with more depth and shorter stockier appearance. Either way. Both these smaller formfactors appear to be gaining popularity vs the full-size vintage cabinet. They are distant enough in time to be appealing to a new audience; in much the same capacity oldsters enjoy the 400 pound hulks of yesteryear.. And naturally they bring new materials, electronics, monitors, and more to the experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Kai Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I didn't know about these until recently when I was perusing the game collection forum, and saw some amazing game rooms with these cabs. I just this week bought the MVSX and Outrun. This project is what convinced me it was time to sell my cartridge collection. My plan is to basically transform my classic carts into my personal arcade. It makes the space I need and the money. I should be able to buy quite a few. The next one on my list is the Tempest cab. i would like more shmups, and an Ikari Warriors dual 8-way cab. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get it together please post pics, and what you think of it.

It would be cool if they sold an alternate control panel with two sets of controls instead of four. I've seen at least one person mod theirs in that way.

NeonSpaceBeagle Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 that Ridge Racer looks cool!! michaelbthegamegenie on youtube just put out a video review of the stand up Outrun cab.

What other games could go in this cab? The only other one is Hyper Sports, that I can think of. Pac-Land uses the same controls but its not a Konami license. On this note also, I'm not sure I'm keen on button smashers with this line because you're practically begging for high maintenance. So I probably wouldn't buy games like Main Event, or Power Drive for instance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I put my Tempest cab together, no problems there. The only thing right off I dislike is the printed coin slot door, gawd is that hideous. I really prefer just having the game titles printed on the kickplate, it looks so much better. At least with the MVSX riser there is a 3-dimensional plastic coin door, looks good like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that panel blank black on the opposite side, so you can flip it around and hide the coin door graphic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player one is tied to the far left side on TRODA, however you can play a one player game from any of the four controls and pick any character, so it really isn't that important. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
negative1 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 https://i.ibb.co/2n8qymB/3startup.jpg https://i.ibb.co/4K1xwfH/4pacmenu.jpg https://i.ibb.co/C1MsB0p/5game.jpg Quick Review: ================ Primary Audience - Parents with young children [i don't have any] Overview: -------------- This fun little cabinet is another line for Arcade1up targeting very small children. Maybe you don't want them playing on your 3/4 cabs and breaking them or, they are too big. This is sized bigger than a partycade, and works well on the ground. This came with a tiny stool also (you assemble it), and it fits in the back for storage. The back of this cabinet is open. Its very sturdy, and unless you leave it outside or in sunlight, shouldn't fade or melt. (i hope). Anyways, the buttons are super comfortable and large. They used two buttons, because they probably have this form factor for other games, even though most games only use 1 or none. Games ============== Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug All are set to basic US default settings. Settings: ============================ Pac-man has 3 - super easy, easy and normal super easy - invincible (no collision), and slow movement (25%? of speed) easy - invincible(no collison) and normal speed Galaga - easy and normal easy - invincible (no shots or collisions) Dig Dug - easy and normal easy - invincible (no collisions,, no rock deaths, fire deaths) =============================== Controls ========================= On/off volume House - HOME menu button Big Red Large Ballltop joystick - with square (rotated 45 degree gate) very comfortable, just takes a different grip for adults, but kids should have no problem with it. its very responsive 2 large buttons - these are super comfortable, and resilient Cabinet ======================= Super durable, thick plastic. Very light, no exposed screws or sharp edges. Screen is sharp and bright. Volume is loud enough but not too loud and ajdustable. Runs on same MicroUSB adapter and plug (provided) Verdict: ================= Whether they are just beginning or a little older. You can start off in the easy mode, and they can play as long as they want. Once they get better they can go to the normal mode. All games play exactly as they should on normal mode. Adult note : Not sure if killscreens are there, will check it for the next 3 days. Should you get it? - If you collect pac-man items, sure, why not. If you want to 'train' yourself to get better, they are useful for that. But this is mostly targeted for younger children. I will post gameplay videos. Its fun using the 'training mode'. I'm happy with the purchase. I think its $280 or so at Walmart, Target, and other retailers. Once I'm done with it, I will donate it a charity or a family with younger kids. Good way to introduce some simple retro games to them. Overall Grade 4/5 later -1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
