This review really made me want this cabinet. It was nice to see the screen height with you standing right beside it at the end. I think this will definitely be one I'll have to add to my collection. Hopefully we'll get Time Crisis 2 & 3 in the future with link play (and online play if possible).
I agree, you could swap it out with a 19-20” monitor. I just added a 5” riser booster, really brings this cab up the monitor is just a tad too low. If I added a bigger monitor it’s perfect. Keep an eye when this drops under 599, Thanks for watching!
Great review! I definitely want it. If they did a $599 Black Friday Walmart sale, it would be a must buy for me. I saw that Buy Stuff Arcades is already working on a 19” monitor mod. I could see that being a worthwhile upgrade down the road. My only other thought is whether the cab might be compatible with actual Sinden light guns that have the built in solenoid-based recoil. If the stock guns could be swapped out for those, I think I would have everything I ever wanted in a gun cab.
Thank you 👊 I’d definitely be interested in the 19” screen. There’s some sort of camera lens in A1up’s lightguns that will only work on Big Buck, T2 and TC. That’s probably why Buystuff went with Retro Kit for their mod I don’t know if we can get an actual Sinden to work. Somethings different than what iircade did for it to work on theirs.
I think that stock guns will only work with A1up pcb’s, and PC guns like Sindens, Aimtrak, and Retro Shooter will not work with the A1up pcb’s. In order to play other gun games you will need to do a gut mod and remove the pcb and replace it with an lcd controller board and replace the stock guns with Retro Shooters or Sindens or something and use a pc or retro shooter box with it. An ideal mod would be to have Time Crisis 1-5 and Point Blank 1-3. Do TC 4 and 5 emulate well? 2 and 3?
This is the best review I have seen for the Time Crisis arcade cabinet. I received my Time Crisis arcade cabinet a couple of days ago. It is a awesome addition to my arcade 😎🤘
I agree Danny, there needs to be more consistency with light up coin doors going forward. They all should be lit from here on out :) Thanks for watching 👊
It really is a great looking cabinet. Much better than the leaked images we saw last year. That thing just towers up over every other cabinet. That marquee is a beast haha.
Great videos. What plays better. Time crisis on this or retro shooter.... If you could only have one cabinet, would it be time crisis. Or your Modded T2?
Hi Beans, they both play equally great. It all comes down to do you want a multicade or a dedicated cab? I go back and forth on this because they’re both awesome. I’d have to pick TC because of the overall look of the cab.
Nice looking cab. I think with no bezel, they should have gone with a 19" monitor. Man, you've had a great year. FF, Pacman XL, New SF, Time Crisis, Star Wars BSA mod, T2 retro shooter BSA mod. Your arcade rocks! Good thorough review!
Thanks Eric :) yes your absolutely right should’ve just put the 19” in it’s kind of plain but I guess I’ll have to upgrade myself after the holidays:) it’s been a busy year wonder what cabs will move in next year :)
Arcade1up needs to be consistent with placement of the coin doors. The look is almost as important as game play for me. Another great review! Big fan here PD7!
Really nice review and in depth PD7. I liked how you touched on the pros and cons of the cab. Honestly it’s a a must have for us who grew up going to the arcade and remember the great memories that came with it. We can own a piece of history in our own home. The cabinet I feel is the best arcade1up has produced and with that said yes might be 750 but includes 4 quality games. I have T2 and I love it with only one game. So I think 4 makes up for it. Thank you for the review!!
@@PDX7 I’m leaning more towards TC . It’s such beautiful cabinet. Like you said it might be A1UP best yet. From the marquee quality to the cab height size I think it feels like a genuine Arcade.
Dammit Phil! I might have to get Time Crisis now! 😂😂 Great review my friend! 💥💥👊💥💥I would like to see Arcade1up make a Time Crisis Partycade. Especially since the monitors in the partycades are 17 inch. 😁
Phil great video and great review. It’s a great looking cabinet. I can totally understand the cons. I do agree that the coin door should be lit. The other thing I think is that maybe the monitor is a little small but I agree with you it’s playable. People have to remember why we buy these machines in the first place, which is the nostalgia And I think this one is pretty spot on. Thanks again for a great review.
Just got it today and it’s fantastic ! All good no problems , just fun ! People need to buy these to have fun and stop nitpicking every little detail. It’s exhausting.
@petermacnab1871 mine posted in high score, well it’s not high but it shows up near the bottom. This happened in F&F too if I don’t pass my original high score it won’t show up.
Great review Phil!. I think the cabinet is too low for my tastes but I can see a riser coming from Buystuff to bring it up higher soon. TC is a very good looking cabinet, would you say its the best looking one so far? Someone near me was selling T2 for 225, I was tempted but no room, could have been my copy of yours with buystuff mods. You are right on T2, the selling was saying he paid 699, maybe I should jump?
Thank you Carl, I think it is the best looking cab yet. I would totally jump on that 225 and through in Retro kit you won’t regret it. I’m going to come to a crossroads every time I decide which cab to play now :)
PD7 It's such a delight to see you revel in a cabinet :) If there is one thing I can say about Arcade1Up's Time Crisis is, she's a beauty! I unfortunately wanted to see Arcade1Up's next lightgun cab have around 20 or 30 games. I know that's pretty much an unrealistic stretch, but that's where my value lies. And sure, one can mod the cab with a lightgun kit, but I think I'm going to go a different route (and probably a bit too expensive as well). I think I'm going to set something up outside of an actual cabinet with a bigger screen, possibly a ceiling mounted monitor, 24 inches or so. Invest in a full Gun for IR setup (those lightguns unfortunately cost $400 a pop) and a decent PC rig to run it all. There are so many great ready made game collections out there that I'm doing my research on right now. This might be my project for next year. I just can't wait for Arcade1Up or another company to figure out how to do something really robust in the games department. I really want an officially licensed product, but the value just isn't there for me. I am HAPPY though this cabinet works for you. Again, she is a beauty! Have a great one! vgv
Hi Video Game Vegas, Thank you for watching and commenting:) I know I also wanted more games too I was actually hoping for 5-8 games on this. I got a lot of RR vibes durning the build and kept thinking 5 games like RR should have been the minimum. Having retro kit along with TC i could go either way I like the dedicated cab, but like you want a ton of shooting games. I’m happy with TC I definitely think people should wait for a 599 price, the only real knock is the monitor is just a little too low. Thank you as always my friend 👊
Shouldn't need a riser booster. Screen should be up higher by default. You were nowhere near hitting the ceiling fan. Lol. The screen is to small and should be at least 18". Guns should of had a rumble motor or electronic recoil for feeback. Just keep measuring to justify the issues with this cab.
Nice! It's easy to dread the snow when you live in Waukesha, but I kind of miss it lol. My neighborhood had this crazy steep hill near Summit Ave and University Dr and it was NOT fun to drive down the road when it snowed like crazy.@@PDX7
Phil, been loving your content of late - doing a great job! The very first thing that strikes me is the insanity of no lights on the coin door. A1up saving $3 on a nearly $800 cab after taxes is bizarre. The hanging cords... bizarre. The screen should be both bigger and higher up on the cab. The guns are a bit of disappointment too. Weird how many obviously could/should be better aspects there are on this machine. Again, if this cab was $499, then a lot of those complaints go away. Still, it's a handsome cab that - if it drops significantly in price - I'd like to add to the gameshack. Keep 'em coming Phil!
Hi Evil Genius, you’re absolutely right those coin doors need to be lit and the monitor either higher or a 19” would have been perfect. I’m still thinking of a way to hide the cords, but they made this deck and guns sit different than T2. Thank you I really appreciate it, I also look forward to hearing from you :)
There is a solution for that. Get Retro Shooter guns, the hub, and a mini pc and replace the guns on the cab and run TC2 and Crisis Zone on an emulator. The Retro Shooter box just has TC1 for Playstation and some other Time Crisis game but it has Point Blank 1-3. You can't add gun games to it, just console games to their console box.
lol nice!! It’s a great cab, Amazon 599 is the best price right now. If you hold out might get it lower in a month or so. I do recommend picking up a riser booster from buystuff arcades, 3” or 5” I went with the 5.
Everything is sweet looking except the cords, but 19k said exposed cords was how the arcade is, if I bought I would definitely hide them cords great review bro enjoy your day
Wonder if mystery encoder can work his magic and get us Big Buck and T2 on here too? I'd be in for sure if that was possible. Great review as always! 👍
@PDX7 Honesty it's hard to say, I have a Jurassic Park themed 32" screen full size shooter cab with all the games on there including Time Crisis already. $550 would be considered I would think though if I did want that
@@PDX7Woohoo it happened! It’s now $600 on Wayfair and they send you an extra 10% off coupon when you sign up to their site for the first time. I ended up getting it for $573.30 after taxes. 🎉
Cab looks great but im having tough time deciding between this or t2. I will mod for more shooters. Which do you like better as far as guns and monitor view
@bri.g.5105 ok that helps :) I would try to find a T2 used on marketplace it has the highest screen on any 1up. Then pickup the retro kit and buy stuff board it will all come close to what TC is going for. If you’re just interested in 5 games I’d buy TC and upgrade riser booster ( $70 )
Great review ! The most complete one I have seen so far ! Do thu suggest going straight to the buystuff 19” mod or seeing if the 17” one works well enough before modding ? Have you tried 2P ? Is the screen size ok for 2P ?
Screen is fine for 2 player the only reason I’d go 19” is if you wanted to raise the top an inch higher. I’m 5’9 it’s ok but if you’re 6’2 it might be worth going bigger. I’m interested in buystuff screen, but I wouldn’t add retro kit in TC only T2. These 4 games are great
@@PDX7 nice ! I’m 5”7 so maybe I should try it as is rather than going 19” without even testing it stock. I also find it better to have as many stock cabs as possible . People like them better when visiting too ! Plus I have no time to play hundreds of games anyway ! lol
@@PDX7 true. I figured if I get the buystuff mod at the same time , it’s easier to put it in while building it but I think it’s better to at least try the 17” screen as is and see. The 19” screen is still another 250 -275 . It’s a lot at once and I might be happy with the cab as is ! It helps to have these kind of chats to help me decide 😊
@@PDX7 actually that I would really appreciate that thank you. I modified my pinball machine to add light gun support and am super curious about accuracy with the sinden also. Thank you for your help.
@davidandambergarber6074 the mid point of the screen is 48” from floor and the bottom is 40”. Buystuff arcades does have a 3” & 5” riser booster for TC that will match. I just ordered the 5” so it will sit as high as T2 60”
@@PDX7 thank you for your help. It's good to know what professional designers are thinking when they mass produce the correct height of a light gun cab. My cab sits at 43" at bottom of screen and 58" at top of screen. Was wondering how it stacked to this machine and it's close. Last question have you ever felt accuracy could be better or it's not even noticable?
@davidandambergarber6074 I’m struggling now because the screen is a little low. Once I get the booster underneath I’ll get back to you because T2 plays perfect because it’s higher. I think TC will be next to perfect too.
Great review. I have no nostalgia for this title so not buying it is an easy decision for me. Now if it went on a fire sale for $199 that might be a whole different story.
Totally both :) if you want a dedicated cab with a unique look TC if you want every game basically T2 Buystuff mod. It’s going to be hard to pick which to play, but they both are great! If I could only have 1 TC just because the cab looks awesome :)
TC for me . I would rather have 4 games with local high scores , leaderboards and the arcade roms and turn on and play ! The retro shooter is very cool but with many games using console versions and no high score saving even local , it’s not for me. I need high scores ! lol But both are cool depending on what you are looking for.
Great review as always!!! Debating whether to order this or get the pacman xl. Decisions suck haha. Which would you choose since you own both? Happy holidays man!
@@PDX7 not yet man. I ordered both mine on 12-12 last Tuesday as well. If I do I’ll let you know here! I do know a guy that ordered a day before me is getting his this Friday!
@briandoerr8491 that’s a good sign, I just found out from one of my friends they don’t have any left. If you don’t see anything by tomorrow 10:30am I’d stop in and talk to customer service for clarification
I have no nostalgia for gun games since I played mostly I. The early 80’s in arcades but I did play Point Blank on PlayStation and time crisis looks cool so I think this cab would be very cool to have even with no nostalgia .
Does the gun / gameplay feel good even with the recoil turned off ? And does the pedal slip when using it or is it fairly solid ? This is getting very tempting . With all of those leaderboards , and the fact they these are arcade roms , I would not mod this cab.
I actually prefer the recoil off you can still hear the trigger it feels good Peter. Pedal is almost perfect foot isn’t slipping I love this cab :) try to wait to see if the price comes down a little..
@@PDX7 I will wait until Black Friday ! Then I think I will buy it. There is a worth to me to face it close to release ! Also in Canada there are less sales and even at 899$ it’s not too bad . T2 is still 849 here. Also with the exchange it should be 1040$ 😮
@@PDX7 I hope so. Sometimes I just pick up a cab if Black Friday is less than 30 days away since they offer a price guarantee for a month ! I figure if it doesn’t go on sale Black Friday , it will be a while. I think even if T2 went in liquidation for 499$ , I would still rather pay the 899$ for TC since I don’t want the retro shooter mod.
No the pedal is only used for Time Crisis and this is the only 1 player game on the cabinet. Point Blank, Steel Gunner 1 & 2 both play 1-2 players and the pedal isn’t used. Hopefully the next TC will have TC 2 on it and we might see 2 pedals. Thank you for watching 👊
If TC 2 was on here which it should’ve been we would have 2. Hold out if you decide to buy at 499 or less, you can always add BSA retro shooter and have everything on here.
as strange as it may sound, having hundreds of games to choose from is not always the best idea. Too much time spent on choosing what you wanna play as opposite as having a couple of them on a cabinet and just play them.
@andfonseb I have Ridge Racer myself. I've done a few mods to it and it makes it harder for me to sell cause of the money I've invested. It would probably be best to sell it but I just haven't gotten to the point where I'm ready to let it go.
I like the buy stuff mod. BUT when I have company over they want immediacy. They don't want to figure out how to play or choose a game. That's the downside of modding.
No it’s not as you only get a certain amount of lives on the ps1 and can never get past stage 1 or 2 on the ps1 but on the 1up you can get past it with the continued lives and also the ps1 version is so blocky
@niknik6023 there’s a control deck that replaces the controls and adds just about every game there is, so that way yes we can upgrade but it’s a costly mod that adds another 400-500.
This review really made me want this cabinet. It was nice to see the screen height with you standing right beside it at the end. I think this will definitely be one I'll have to add to my collection. Hopefully we'll get Time Crisis 2 & 3 in the future with link play (and online play if possible).
I tried to show as much as I could man I know you are debating on this if you have any questions just shoot me a text :)
@PDX7 I think I'm definitely ordering this when I get back from Japan.
@HungrywolfGarou Japan!! Nice how long are you gone for?
@@PDX7 Two weeks
@HungrywolfGarou be safe man and have a great time!
Great review, Phil. The cabinet looks very nice. I love the artwork on the sides.
Thanks Jesse :) really makes you wonder how Wheel A Fortune Casinocade modding to TC would compare :) we gotta do it!!
I'd love to have Time Crisis as a home arcade machine, but for a gun game that 17inch monitor just kills it for me - i'd want minimum 19inches
I agree, you could swap it out with a 19-20” monitor. I just added a 5” riser booster, really brings this cab up the monitor is just a tad too low. If I added a bigger monitor it’s perfect. Keep an eye when this drops under 599, Thanks for watching!
It is really baffling, it’s not like there isn’t room for a 19 inch monitor, they must’ve just cheaped out to save a buck on a very expensive cab.
@justanotheryoutubechannel definitely should’ve been a 19” out of the box for this price
Great review! I definitely want it. If they did a $599 Black Friday Walmart sale, it would be a must buy for me. I saw that Buy Stuff Arcades is already working on a 19” monitor mod.

Maybe on the XL :) Thanks for watching 👊
Great review 👌👍🔥🔥🐲🦾 so happy to see you enjoying it awesome 👏
It’s a great cab Bobby!! Thank you 💪👊
Nice pick up man! Looks great in your arcade!
Thanks Nick 👊
House of the Dead 1, 2, & 3 can outdo this but I ❤ Namco Time Crisis and Steel Gunner 1 & 2.
I do too, very fun games to play on this. Thanks for watching!
Wish it had Time Crisis 2 & 3. It would be an instant buy with a few more games.
Hopefully the next TC cab will 🤞 Thanks for watching 👊
Great review man!
Dude Thank you 👊
That display is too small. 17" with a white border doth not equal Deluxe, nor worth $750. That's too high.
If it dropped 150 would you consider?
It's louder because the sound has more room to bounce around in that bigger cab. It's nice... but at that price I wouldn't do it.
If it dropped to 599 would you buy?
@PDX7 Honesty it's hard to say, I have a Jurassic Park themed 32" screen full size shooter cab with all the games on there including Time Crisis already. $550 would be considered I would think though if I did want that
@PDX7 That's the thing, once someone starts building their own arcades you start to realize these A1Ups don't really hold any value over $400.
It’s worth it more to us from the beginning we will never get that money back it’s how bad we want something.
@Excaidus-Metal you have everything on JP, 32” screen must be awesome :) you gotta really like TC cab as just the look in your arcade.
BTW, Buck Hunter is the best. Bucky Girls rule!
:) which Big Buck do you have and are you thinking about Retro 530 marquee?
Just a head’s up that Time Crisis has dropped to $650 on Amazon. I’m still holding for $599 or less, but just wanted to let you know
It’s getting closer :)
@@PDX7Woohoo it happened! It’s now $600 on Wayfair and they send you an extra 10% off coupon when you sign up to their site for the first time. I ended up getting it for $573.30 after taxes. 🎉
Is the marquee easily removeable (like if it were to be moved into a new home), or is it a bit of an ordeal to take apart again?
It just sits on top of the cabinet 2-4 screws and it comes off one piece. Actually was the first thing assembled in directions.
Cab looks great but im having tough time deciding between this or t2. I will mod for more shooters. Which do you like better as far as guns and monitor view
This depends on if you are adding the retro kit Buystuff box to either T2 or TC. Are you planning on going that route?
@PDX7 ya or which ever mod that will add all the shooters. I am 6'1 too for screen height
@bri.g.5105 ok that helps :) I would try to find a T2 used on marketplace it has the highest screen on any 1up. Then pickup the retro kit and buy stuff board it will all come close to what TC is going for. If you’re just interested in 5 games I’d buy TC and upgrade riser booster ( $70 )
@@PDX7 Thanks!
@bri.g.5105 if you think of anything or questions please let me know :)
Looks like you have room to add a bigger monitor. I would.
You read my mind :) I’m getting there, Thanks for watching!
Great review ! The most complete one I have seen so far ! Do thu suggest going straight to the buystuff 19” mod or seeing if the 17” one works well enough before modding ? Have you tried 2P ? Is the screen size ok for 2P ?
Screen is fine for 2 player the only reason I’d go 19” is if you wanted to raise the top an inch higher. I’m 5’9 it’s ok but if you’re 6’2 it might be worth going bigger. I’m interested in buystuff screen, but I wouldn’t add retro kit in TC only T2. These 4 games are great
@@PDX7 nice ! I’m 5”7 so maybe I should try it as is rather than going 19” without even testing it stock. I also find it better to have as many stock cabs as possible . People like them better when visiting too ! Plus I have no time to play hundreds of games anyway ! lol
@petermacnab1871 I like having the variety of cabs too, this is a perfect height for you. We can always change screen later if we want
@@PDX7 true. I figured if I get the buystuff mod at the same time , it’s easier to put it in while building it but I think it’s better to at least try the 17” screen as is and see. The 19” screen is still another 250 -275 . It’s a lot at once and I might be happy with the cab as is ! It helps to have these kind of chats to help me decide 😊
@petermacnab1871 I would’ve bought the 19” for T2, but putting off for same reason :) Great chatting with you Peter 👊
Do you have a measurement from ground to screen?
Hi, top of the screen from the floor is 55” high, if you need the bottom / mid point I can measure after work
@@PDX7 actually that I would really appreciate that thank you. I modified my pinball machine to add light gun support and am super curious about accuracy with the sinden also. Thank you for your help.
@davidandambergarber6074 the mid point of the screen is 48” from floor and the bottom is 40”. Buystuff arcades does have a 3” & 5” riser booster for TC that will match. I just ordered the 5” so it will sit as high as T2 60”
@@PDX7 thank you for your help. It's good to know what professional designers are thinking when they mass produce the correct height of a light gun cab. My cab sits at 43" at bottom of screen and 58" at top of screen. Was wondering how it stacked to this machine and it's close.
Last question have you ever felt accuracy could be better or it's not even noticable?
@davidandambergarber6074 I’m struggling now because the screen is a little low. Once I get the booster underneath I’ll get back to you because T2 plays perfect because it’s higher. I think TC will be next to perfect too.
I play the time crisis theme if I’m running late for work to make me drive faster
lol just don’t go through any red lights :)
Great review. I have no nostalgia for this title so not buying it is an easy decision for me. Now if it went on a fire sale for $199 that might be a whole different story.
Thank you QuarterDeck, yes 199 for anything is a total buy :)
It will be on sale at some point for sure.
@Excaidus-Metal I think 599 would be a great price for this
It’s not the best just over priced with an under sized screen.
It does help adding a riser booster, if you can pick this up for 499 or less I think it’s a great buy. Thanks for watching 👊
If you could only have 1 what would you prefer Arcade 1up Time Crisis or T-2 buy stuff store mod what your thoughts
Totally both :) if you want a dedicated cab with a unique look TC if you want every game basically T2 Buystuff mod. It’s going to be hard to pick which to play, but they both are great! If I could only have 1 TC just because the cab looks awesome :)
TC for me . I would rather have 4 games with local high scores , leaderboards and the arcade roms and turn on and play ! The retro shooter is very cool but with many games using console versions and no high score saving even local , it’s not for me. I need high scores ! lol But both are cool depending on what you are looking for.
Great review as always!!! Debating whether to order this or get the pacman xl. Decisions suck haha. Which would you choose since you own both? Happy holidays man!
Thank you Brian, if you come across Pacman XL for 399 or less go with Pacman and wait for TC to come down a little more in January / February
@@PDX7 appreciate your input man!!! Still waiting on my fast and the furious x2 from Best Buy as well. Can’t wait!
@briandoerr8491 did you get any updates on shipping yet?
@@PDX7 not yet man. I ordered both mine on 12-12 last Tuesday as well. If I do I’ll let you know here! I do know a guy that ordered a day before me is getting his this Friday!
@briandoerr8491 that’s a good sign, I just found out from one of my friends they don’t have any left. If you don’t see anything by tomorrow 10:30am I’d stop in and talk to customer service for clarification
I have no nostalgia for gun games since I played mostly I. The early 80’s in arcades but I did play Point Blank on PlayStation and time crisis looks cool so I think this cab would be very cool to have even with no nostalgia .
It’s a very unique looking cab would just look cool in the room with the other arcades :) wait for a sale!
@@PDX7 I’ll try ! Lol
Great review!
Thank you Tony 👊
Does the gun / gameplay feel good even with the recoil turned off ? And does the pedal slip when using it or is it fairly solid ? This is getting very tempting . With all of those leaderboards , and the fact they these are arcade roms , I would not mod this cab.
Ive seen videos that said the recoil doesnt feel so great. I dont think I would mind but Im curious to see how it feels after hearing about it.
I actually prefer the recoil off you can still hear the trigger it feels good Peter. Pedal is almost perfect foot isn’t slipping I love this cab :) try to wait to see if the price comes down a little..
@@PDX7 I will wait until Black Friday ! Then I think I will buy it. There is a worth to me to face it close to release ! Also in Canada there are less sales and even at 899$ it’s not too bad . T2 is still 849 here. Also with the exchange it should be 1040$ 😮
@petermacnab1871 Mike B’s video yesterday hopefully hints you will see much better prices at the Brick later this month. I’m watching NBA Jam :)
@@PDX7 I hope so. Sometimes I just pick up a cab if Black Friday is less than 30 days away since they offer a price guarantee for a month ! I figure if it doesn’t go on sale Black Friday , it will be a while. I think even if T2 went in liquidation for 499$ , I would still rather pay the 899$ for TC since I don’t want the retro shooter mod.
Cool, but that screen is way to small.
I might have to upgrade to a 19” monitor this year on both TC and my T2 cab. Thanks for watching 👊
Is there supposed to be a pedal for player 2?
No the pedal is only used for Time Crisis and this is the only 1 player game on the cabinet. Point Blank, Steel Gunner 1 & 2 both play 1-2 players and the pedal isn’t used. Hopefully the next TC will have TC 2 on it and we might see 2 pedals. Thank you for watching 👊
The fact that there are not two pedals makes me not want to buy this at that price point.
If TC 2 was on here which it should’ve been we would have 2. Hold out if you decide to buy at 499 or less, you can always add BSA retro shooter and have everything on here.
Why did you sell Ridge Racer? Did you not like it, even with the Buystuff mod?
as strange as it may sound, having hundreds of games to choose from is not always the best idea. Too much time spent on choosing what you wanna play as opposite as having a couple of them on a cabinet and just play them.
@andfonseb I have Ridge Racer myself. I've done a few mods to it and it makes it harder for me to sell cause of the money I've invested. It would probably be best to sell it but I just haven't gotten to the point where I'm ready to let it go.
I like the buy stuff mod. BUT when I have company over they want immediacy. They don't want to figure out how to play or choose a game. That's the downside of modding.
I needed the money to buy TC :) and the racing mod for SW plays so good I didn’t need to keep both cabs.
I agree, having a few dedicated cabs is good in so many ways too
Nice review!
Thank you Tom 👊
Doesn't come with Time Crisis 2 and 3? Ugh pass
Hopefully the next TC cab will have TC 2&3 on it. Thanks for watching!
@@PDX7 hmph in the meantime I'll just stick to my Sony Trinitron CRT and PS2 with my copies of TC2&3
@budgiecat9039 👍
I’d wait for time crisis 2, I’m more nostalgic for it
I really wish TC 2 would have been on here too, probably their next lightgun cab for sure :) Thanks for watching 👊
I wish so too. TC 1 and 2 on the same cab would be a dream and instabuy.
@bradthompson9598 maybe we will get a TC 2 :)
Its a lovely machine but honestly i prefer the original time crisis machine
It’s very close to the original, I haven’t seen the actual in person yet only TC 2. Thank you for watching 👊
I would buy one but those guns are absolutely junk. The recoil isn't even close to the original. Hopefully they make a TC2 cabinet that is done right.
I hope so too E Unit, if it drops low enough you can always add retro shooters and use their lightguns. Thanks for watching 👊
@@PDX7 great video man. You covered all the bases
@eunit599 dude Thank you 👊
Give me a new G- Con for PS5!!! Or SeXBox, Switch, i don't care!
It's awful, the ps1 version with guncon 1 on a CRT tv is better than this.
Well we have options tv’s or 3/4 scale arcades. Thanks for watching!
No it’s not as you only get a certain amount of lives on the ps1 and can never get past stage 1 or 2 on the ps1 but on the 1up you can get past it with the continued lives and also the ps1 version is so blocky
Very true :) there’s no way I would be able to finish without continuing lives.
Git gud @@PDX7
That is lame as shit for the price. Tiny screen.
Definitely should’ve given us a larger monitor with this, Thanks for watching!
Can you change the gun for a better gun?
Are you familiar with Buystuff Arcades Retro Shooter?
@ No not really.
@niknik6023 there’s a control deck that replaces the controls and adds just about every game there is, so that way yes we can upgrade but it’s a costly mod that adds another 400-500.
