Your thoughts on this cabinet? Let me know below! I'm also surprised nobody mentioned the Terminator I had come walking out of the screen at 0:21 LOL I thought that was funny.
Starting buying these cabinets for my basement, got the simpsons and x-men and had my eye on this. Glad I watched this I think I will wait, I wish it came packaged with a few games like the other machines. Revolution X would have been a good one to package in. Right now I have an old tv that works with lg games with my ps2 and saturn hooked up to them for gun games only, I might just build something around that tv and make it look like an arcade machine, would get more out of it for less at this point. I do really like the look of the T2 machine though.
I appreciate your honest reviews. The prices keep going up and the quality stays the same or gets worse. The Pro Line better be perfect for whatever price they sell them for. If you only can recommend something when it's on sale it just shows that the company doesn't have it's product priced correctly.
Dead on with your review. Best review on this cab so far. Thank God for Joe Szabo. This is a holy grail cab for a lot of people. Unfortunately we shouldn’t have to upgrade something that cost $700.
@@Gohan921 I think most people in this community realize that, it’s just the idea of having their own arcade in their house. Meaning having a cab that looks as close to the real thing as possible.
If the marquee was perfect, if the audio and gameplay were normal, and if the guns felt a bit more premium, 19" monitor and coin door mold they could have
Ended up diying a retractable cable system and it is cheaaaap and easy! I cut the bottoms off the base per the video you recommended and stuff the cables down in the cab. Then went around back and tied a half ziplocked bag of rice to the middle of the cable. Left enough length so it touched the bottom and didn't pull the cable out of its connectors. You can take whatever amount of rice out of the bags to make it feel better on the pull. Plus the bad don't make sound when hitting the bottom when you let the cable retract. Worked like a charm and made this cab feel and look so much better.
Also if want to get rid of the clickty sound in the guns open it up and throw a piece of foam tape or gorilla tape and leave the plastic on one side around the screw the back piece hits.
'Dubs, I gotta tell ya, that's just about the best review I've seen yet for an arcade cab. Clear, concise, and honest in its conclusions, the viewer pretty much knows exactly what to expect if they buy this cab. In other words, what every review should be. Far as this cab goes, while T2 would look great in any home arcade, the cost-to-value on this product is obviously very skewed. I'm not even sure it's worth $500 considering the negatives, biggest of which is the 17" screen size; far too small for a shooter. The lack of a coin door - which likely costs A1up $10 or less to produce - is truly bizarre. And having only one game is the final nail in the coffin for me. Great content brother; keep 'em coming!
You nailed it the game is fun and provides family entertainment! The minor problems are what most will ignore as I don’t stare at a washed out marquee or a cord hanging from the cabinet while playing or in the idle position. Very precise review and I will be viewing more on your channel soon. 👍🏽
You give the most honest reviews out of all the other Arcade1up reviewers. They’re so busy kissing Arcade1up butt trying to get free cabs or John D to be on their show that they down play all the issues with these cabs. For $700 these cabs should be flawless, thanks for your honesty I appreciate it
You hit it on the head with this review. When you're spending $699 retail, and you have to buy a new marquee, 2.1 speaker system, etc, that's just not worth it. If it goes to $499, I'd maybe consider it.
@@nexxusty While these arent perfect this is still the best way to play these games outside of official arcade machines. I would like bigger monitors for sure i am happy with what they are making
Excellent retrospective! Thank you for your video and sharing your experience. Hoping there are updates to fix some of the software audio and gameplay issues. They owe that to us. Keep up the great work PDubs!!
Thank you for the honest review. Well done!!!👍🏼 A1U needs to stop being so greedy and focus more on making quality cabinets and games first before setting the prices way too high for what you get.
Arcade1Up is laughing all the way to the bank with some of these cabinets. There's absolutely no way the build quality justifies that kind of cost, and those long cables dangling off each gun are hideous!
Fascinating to see them do a light gun-based cabinet at last! Hopefully one day we might get a _House Of The Dead_ or _Point Blank_ version, either of those would kick so much ass. 😄
I’d also love to see a House Of The Dead machine but Sega lost the original source code for all of them years back. The last legit port we got was on the Wii and that might be the last time we see the OG games 😭
Another great video and great review pDubs. Loved the intro too with the music and how you made it look like the Terminator was coming out of the monitor. Well done!
I am surprised to see so much discontent in the comments on this cab, because to me it looks like a good reproduction of the original, which isnt the case when adding a new looking Terminator plastic to the top of the marquee. I am on the fence because its just one game.
I just bought this cabinet from Bestbuy during their Black Friday in July sale and it was only $399.99, it's the ONLY reason I decided to buy it, 50% off is a no brainer. You cab and work looks great buddy!
I'll pay 400 at the most for that . Thanks for the honest advice 👍💯 I seen a youtube video where someone modded the cords so they pull out where the guns are held in ... I think it looked worth looking into if I had it ...
I watch your videos a lot and just came here today to find this one because it just went on sale for $299. I guess based on your review, that sounds like an awesome deal.
Big Buck presents way more replay value. Seems like they took a step back with this lightgun cab while escalating the price. All too common with them lately. I'd consider it at $399. Probably hit that sale point in a few months when stores are tired of the dead space it creates in their stock rooms.
@@ChromeFamily Bro those 2 shooting games are my shit! I love the Jurassic Park shooting game & played it so much in the arcade & it was expensive & hard af lol same goes for the house of the dead, I love that game also! I'm pretty sure u love Time Crisis right bcuz that's also my shit lmfao
Even though you weren't first, I'm so glad you made this review. Really nice job, very thorough look at the cab. I'd like to get it at $499, otherwise it's a pass. 8-Bit Vinyl did a wicked mod video to his T2 with Klipsch speakers, you should check it out PDubs.
2:25 that choking hazard comment is no joke, that shit happened to one of Mike Tyson's kids. Those cables shouldn't be set up like that, this thing is basically a toy and kids are going to want to play with it. Forced bilinear filter is even more offensive than the threat of the cables though, jeez.
I got two for the price of one 🤣 There was a bank issue after I ordered and was told to try again so I did. My bank statement then showed two charges for $699.99. I contacted A1U and got a refund on one which my bank statement reflects the refund...all good. Then on delivery day I find two T2 cabinets outside my front door. I decided to roll the dice and see if A1U contacts me for a pick up but I’ve yet to receive any email regarding this and no extra charge of $699.99 added to my bank statement. Generally I’d be very quick to fix this issue to avoid problems but instead decided to feel this one out. If my next bank statement comes back clean then I can sell this one for probably $600-$650. Or hold on to it to see if it’s value appreciates as the Star Wars cab did.
You are correct. Per the final thoughts on the video here made many many months ago when this cabinet was new "don't buy it at full price wait for a sale and if you can get it less that $500 you are good to go" do not spend more than that on this it's not worth it. $299 go get it, enjoy!
I want 1 really bad .. but im broke 😞.. but I remember going to the movie theater and just playing this game instead of the movie lol . Especially playing MK2 and Killer instinct and alot more :) awesome Memories and by the way GOOD VIDEO MAN. If u don't want it PDUBS I take it
Hence per this review don't buy at full price. Not worth it. Buy on sale or don't buy at all. Since this old video was posted the cab has been marked down many times
Thanks so much appreciated your honesty on the T2 I hope they an update on this cab I hate the audio lag but I love my T2 but I had to update my speakers
I seen this from Twistedgaming TV video he bought pc 20 dollars speakers for his KI machine and yes it does help out alot on OutRun, Killer Instinct NBA JAM and now T2 from Amazon
Hey PDubs, I agree, this cab is a crowd pleaser, but Someone needs to make some screw caps for this cab. I saw a clip where a guy painted the guns black and that made a huge improvement for almost no cost. I love this cab, totally awesome!
I just got my cabinet put together last weekend, and I love it… I remember playing this in the arcade as a kid. My only complaint is I wish the game sounds would stay on as it cycles through when you aren’t playing it. does anyone know if there’s a way to keep the game sound on?
The poor sound and emulation glitches are frustrating. They need to get the basics right if there selling at a premium price. I remember seeing a video on the turtles in time cab were they were saying there's an issue with the sound emulation. I wish code mystics had done this one. All that being said i love my t2 cab. I bought the szasbos topper and marquee. I also installed a logitech subwoofer and a 3d printed coin door. This one is a keeper for sure.
This cabinet could’ve been so much more. It should’ve been such a love note to Terminator fans, but it just comes out half assed and it’s disheartening. I love the looks of mine and my guests enjoy it, which is all that matters, but it’s still a tough pill to swallow. Hopefully some updates roll out and fix things or perhaps add another game. Put Buck Hunter on it for crying out loud.
Put at least another $100 on top of that price if u want that topper and marquee.. As much as I want this cab I have to wait on a deep discount. I'm waiting for dragons lair. Something tells me that DL will be at least $700.
I’m hoping by time they do House of the dead they will have a better grip on the gun game design.That will be the gun game I purchase 🤘🏼 Thanks Pdubs for another great review
I doubt it. They get a design that THEY like and stick with it. Any changes they do make Jack's the price up even higher. 3 more years no cab will be under $1000
Just bought one a week ago on dell $300 and a $150 digital guft card i think thats a win even though they have those little issues i feel thats a good price
Hopefully they release an update later with scan lines and filter settings. They're probably making sure there's no issues like what happened with bb recently 😆
Well I buckled and bought it…. And got the Szabo Marquee…40$ And got PC speakers sub.. 50$ And got a Coin Door … 40$ And did the cord mod…. And painted the guns…. So yeah it’s a heck of a display piece now… but a tad over the top work and price for ONE game.
PDubs, Judgement day for the T2 cab :) Great review! For me, it's more about space and nostalgia level. Right now I have no more space in my home arcade after purchasing the big nostalgia hitters for me. Though I enjoyed T2 back in my college's Arcade, it was never a go to machine for me. Getting to the helicopter stage and never being able to get past it was a frustrating point for me as well, but it never deterred from my overall fun. Still, wouldn't it be cool if Arcade1up added a "one shot kill" option for the helicopter stage? Maybe it would take away from the fun, skill for sure, but many it would be funny :) If I had unlimited room, I would've picked this one up for $200, but no more. The value of the game included just isn't enough for me to give this one a look. However, I'm SO GLAD Arcade1up was able to bring out this highly requested cab to those who wanted one. So many great options for us all :) vgv
PDubs, I agree. For the price, too many things that need to be improved. I'm so happy that the variety of games on my Big Buck World made it worth the value for me :) I wouldn't have purchased it if it weren't for all the mini games I discovered it had. This is the kind of shooting cab I wanted, a bevy of shooting gallery games. Sure, the hunting is still fun, but I skipped on this cab when it first launched, because I didn't have an interest in just shooting animals. Now that I can shoot flying cow pies from grinning cows, that sold it for me! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a House of the Dead cab. But again, they have to get the number of games to value right for me and hopefully a bigger monitor :) vgv
Hey PDubs, I just saw an interesting mod to this cab....someone figured out that you can pull the monitor back so that it is recessed into the cab. It didn't impact gameplay at all and did look interesting. You may want to at least check it out if you're thinking of doing a unique mod!
Just bought Mines from kohls before Christmas actually cyber Monday $199 it was a S.O.B to build all the pieces wasn't lining up the screws weren't screwing in an average build is 1 hour this took 4hrs because of what was happening maybe that's why it was $199 my son loves it I did not love the build
It's a nice option for people who want an arcade like experience without the price. The quality isn't as high as the real machines. My take, get an 80 inch screen and run Mame instead with a PS2 controller..
It's cool. I'm not gonna knock it. But for the price of an iPhone 13? Not for me. Plus, it's a lot easier to trade/sell an iPhone. I don't know how much it costs to go through the game in an arcade, but I don't think I'd play it through enough to make it cost effective. Unless you can parlay enough UA-cam views to pay for (some of) it, I can't justify the price myself. It's really cool, though. Thanks for sharing!
I still can't wrap my head around folks getting this with one game and it's issues you bring up. That said, if a T2 fan- respect. They're about half off now just four months!
I bought this cabinet. Only Arcade game I really liked growing up. I liked others but never really played them much. I played this one everytime I went to mall. So for me this one was worth the money. Is it worth $700? No Arcade game is worth $700 for just 1 game. Lets be honest we don’t buy these for primarily playing the game. We buy it for the look. The white line around the screen is the one thing I don’t like. I watched this video before buying it. I probably wouldn’t have noticed/cared about the white line if hadn’t pointed it out. But he’s right this game was very dark in the Arcade version. So I had the bright idea to put black velvet tape around the white borders. It made it look a lot real good because it enhanced the blacks. However when I first saw this video I didn’t realize he said the white lines are for the guns. So thats why my gun didnt work properly after adding the black border. Ooops 😂😂😂 This was sale for $550 a month ago and I should of jumped on it then. I’m new to buying Arcade games and noticed it’s impossible to find the Star Wars Trilogy and Arcade 1up isn’t making any more it seems. So thats why i bit the bullet and bought it for $700 because I didn’t want to risk not being able to get it down the road. I agree with his review. It’s spot on. None of the issues bother me though because I just like having this in my house because growing up I would of thought no way would I ever own the actual arcade game (well a 3/4 in size version of it 😂)
Where can I purchase the terminator topper for the arcade? I just purchased one of these arcades and would love to make it look cool like the one in this video!
Pi4 and two wii motes in my tmnt cab and its more than good enough an experience playing t2 alongside all the other light gun games but I couldnt justify this on it own at the price
Love the review and I've been lucky to collect these with no remorse. I do agree on a lot of what you are saying though. My hope is mystery encoder does something like he spoke about with Bee Kong regarding trying to get other stuff running on these.
Arcade1Up has some nerve. $700 for that?! That's absolutely INSANE. I actually own several A1UP cabinets but no more. I got the AtGames Legends cab with CoinOpsX and it makes A1UP look silly.
Have a feeling there’s going to be a pro version of this with a bigger monitor and probably Revolution X if they can grab that license with it. But I’ve been where you’re a that not $699 for all that. And I own the pinball game which it would go great next to, the original arcade game, parts for the gun are really hard to come by. Sinden is garbage, just my opinion but working in the Pi emulation realm, they make you do most of the work yourself to have games be functional with that ugly border. They should have gone with a Phoenix AE or Gun4IR option.
Really want it , but I wish 1up made mods where you can add more games and have better graphics and smoother gameplay. I had the pinball attack from Mars which is almost unplayable, sold it within 2 months.
Was wondering how the Sinden Light guns were used with Arcade1up. Too bad there isn't border settings I don't even notice it on my setup its so thin. Great video!
This is a great overall great cab. The marquee, coin door, and cords are all personal preference. The machine looks great and it plays amazing. I am digging it, big time.
I look at all arcade1up cabs as a base to which to mod if you want it truly authentic. Arcade1up is good about setting that price with just enough features to have you question buying it or getting a real cab and fixing but what is in their favor is size not many people can fit a real cab in their house so they bank in that when setting the price. It’s like if you see a cab you really always wanted you’ve got to bite your tongue abd purchase it knowing you’ll need to improve on it with mods. But ya for me I would wait to purchase these cabs and look on marketplace down line I always see these cabs on sale for good prices or ya wait till the stores discount them if you are Leary about buyers remorse.
As cool as this is....for 700$, couldn't they at least also add Revolution X, which was kind of the spiritual sequel? Might be a few licencing issues with the Aerosmith music, but you'd expect that, though...right?
Any update on this cab? I don’t care about the price, I’m more concerned about the space it takes in my room. I only have room for 2 more cabs. I love this arcade game but is this 1up worth the space it takes up?
Got my machine assembled and played a bit last night. The targeting reticle always gets stuck somewhere in the lower right quadrant of the screen near the edge. What's up with that? This is with the blue gun. I was too burnt out by that time, to try the red gun and went to bed a disappointed little kid.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I just walked in from being on the road. Once I get settled in and the arcade fired up, I'll check out the calibration. and report back. Thanks!

I want 1 really bad .. but im broke 😞.. but I remember going to the movie theater and just playing this game instead of the movie lol . Especially playing MK2 and Killer instinct and alot more :) awesome Memories and by the way GOOD VIDEO MAN. If u don't want it PDUBS I take it
Until my wife gets tired of it, it's going to stay
@@PDubsArcadeLoft o ok
We need the Terminator: Salvation arcade game for one of these eventually!
So basically you gotta drop 7 on it for it to come out of the box lane AF and you had to put another $200-$300 in decal’s & upgrading the marquee
Hence per this review don't buy at full price. Not worth it. Buy on sale or don't buy at all. Since this old video was posted the cab has been marked down many times
Thanks so much appreciated your honesty on the T2 I hope they an update on this cab I hate the audio lag but I love my T2 but I had to update my speakers
I'm glad you enjoyed the review and are enjoying the cabinet, what speakers did you use?
I seen this from Twistedgaming TV video he bought pc 20 dollars speakers for his KI machine and yes it does help out alot on OutRun, Killer Instinct NBA JAM and now T2 from Amazon
Got mines a couple days ago and I'm really enjoying the cabinet! Got it for $500 by far my favorite cabinet my kids enjoy the most
Sorry we are just getting to this but fantastic review as always. Love the intro!
Thank you Dudes!!
Great review. Excellent overall presentation.
Just me and my son banging it out. I skipped ahead and that's what I heard lmao
Woah gross
Had to look up this review when I saw the light guns. I backed Sinden a couple years ago and good for them making deals like this!
Hey PDubs, I agree, this cab is a crowd pleaser, but Someone needs to make some screw caps for this cab.
I saw a clip where a guy painted the guns black and that made a huge improvement for almost no cost.
I love this cab, totally awesome!
Lol arcade1up side panels always look like someone took a Tommy gun to them
Great video! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!
Thank you! You too!
Amazon is selling this for $400 right now!!! I'm deeply considering buying it for that price.
Like I said in the review at the end...if you can get it for less than $500 you probably should
It does look so cool,, but I will wait this one out...
Yes its cool and fun but would recommend wait for a sale
It’s 299 now, I think it may be worth it at that price
its on sell right now for $299 hope my boys like it for christmas
I just got my cabinet put together last weekend, and I love it… I remember playing this in the arcade as a kid. My only complaint is I wish the game sounds would stay on as it cycles through when you aren’t playing it. does anyone know if there’s a way to keep the game sound on?
The poor sound and emulation glitches are frustrating. They need to get the basics right if there selling at a premium price. I remember seeing a video on the turtles in time cab were they were saying there's an issue with the sound emulation. I wish code mystics had done this one. All that being said i love my t2 cab. I bought the szasbos topper and marquee. I also installed a logitech subwoofer and a 3d printed coin door. This one is a keeper for sure.
Excellent feedback thank you for sharing
Spot on honest review too much necessary to improve at that price
Thanks Dude 👊 🤓
I love to mod this cabinet for time crisis or original house of the dead
Nice mod ideas
This cabinet could’ve been so much more. It should’ve been such a love note to Terminator fans, but it just comes out half assed and it’s disheartening. I love the looks of mine and my guests enjoy it, which is all that matters, but it’s still a tough pill to swallow. Hopefully some updates roll out and fix things or perhaps add another game. Put Buck Hunter on it for crying out loud.
Awesome feedback thank you for sharing
Put at least another $100 on top of that price if u want that topper and marquee..
As much as I want this cab I have to wait on a deep discount. I'm waiting for dragons lair. Something tells me that DL will be at least $700.
I agree DL will be $699
Great review you hit all the points.
Thanks man, tried my best
It's $399 right now on Walmart website
Nice!
I’m hoping by time they do House of the dead they will have a better grip on the gun game design.That will be the gun game I purchase 🤘🏼 Thanks Pdubs for another great review
I'm glad you enjoyed the review!
I doubt it. They get a design that THEY like and stick with it. Any changes they do make Jack's the price up even higher. 3 more years no cab will be under $1000
HOD source code is lost you can only make HOD2 3 4 or overkill or scarlet dawn
Just bought one a week ago on dell $300 and a $150 digital guft card i think thats a win even though they have those little issues i feel thats a good price
Mine gets delivered on Friday. Picked it up from Best Buy for $299 yesterday. I hope they have the audio issues fixed by now.
They dont
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Bummer. Looks like I will fix the sound the same way I did with Ridge Racer then. ua-cam.com/video/VjTlGUR19s4/v-deo.html
Dude. That was a great review! Did you say you had a link to the mod where you can pull the cords into the cabinet? Thanks!
Tech Buzz and 19KFox channels both have tutorials
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Thanks I will check it out!
Looks heIIa neat...🤘🏼💯✔️
Well it was fun to mod
Off topic..PDUBS will the V5 Full edition be going up on Backups? Right now all thats there is the fix. Thanks! Love the channel.
I don't control that so no clue. If the fix is available I would just use that, all you do is drag and drop a couple files.
Hopefully they release an update later with scan lines and filter settings. They're probably making sure there's no issues like what happened with bb recently 😆
Yeah that was a goofy mess on BB
Even with the issues, it would be worth it, if there were 12 shooting games on it. Maybe $300 would be the right price!
We won't see $300 again
Well I buckled and bought it….
And got the Szabo Marquee…40$
And got PC speakers sub.. 50$
And got a Coin Door … 40$
And did the cord mod…. And painted the guns….
So yeah it’s a heck of a display piece now… but a tad over the top work and price for ONE game.
All that adds up to be happy with it
PDubs,
Judgement day for the T2 cab :) Great review! For me, it's more about space and nostalgia level. Right now I have no more space in my home arcade after purchasing the big nostalgia hitters for me. Though I enjoyed T2 back in my college's Arcade, it was never a go to machine for me. Getting to the helicopter stage and never being able to get past it was a frustrating point for me as well, but it never deterred from my overall fun. Still, wouldn't it be cool if Arcade1up added a "one shot kill" option for the helicopter stage? Maybe it would take away from the fun, skill for sure, but many it would be funny :) If I had unlimited room, I would've picked this one up for $200, but no more. The value of the game included just isn't enough for me to give this one a look. However, I'm SO GLAD Arcade1up was able to bring out this highly requested cab to those who wanted one. So many great options for us all :)
vgv
I mean yes them being able to release this cabinet is a big win, but it could've been so much better
PDubs,
I agree. For the price, too many things that need to be improved. I'm so happy that the variety of games on my Big Buck World made it worth the value for me :) I wouldn't have purchased it if it weren't for all the mini games I discovered it had. This is the kind of shooting cab I wanted, a bevy of shooting gallery games. Sure, the hunting is still fun, but I skipped on this cab when it first launched, because I didn't have an interest in just shooting animals. Now that I can shoot flying cow pies from grinning cows, that sold it for me! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a House of the Dead cab. But again, they have to get the number of games to value right for me and hopefully a bigger monitor :)
vgv
Hey PDubs, I just saw an interesting mod to this cab....someone figured out that you can pull the monitor back so that it is recessed into the cab. It didn't impact gameplay at all and did look interesting. You may want to at least check it out if you're thinking of doing a unique mod!
Interesting I would have to see what they did email me the link to the video pdubsarcadeloft@gmail.com
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Hey PDubs, Sent!
Just bought Mines from kohls before Christmas actually cyber Monday $199 it was a S.O.B to build all the pieces wasn't lining up the screws weren't screwing in an average build is 1 hour this took 4hrs because of what was happening maybe that's why it was $199 my son loves it I did not love the build
Oh man that sucks I found this one easier to build than Tron
It's a nice option for people who want an arcade like experience without the price. The quality isn't as high as the real machines. My take, get an 80 inch screen and run Mame instead with a PS2 controller..
It's cool. I'm not gonna knock it. But for the price of an iPhone 13? Not for me. Plus, it's a lot easier to trade/sell an iPhone. I don't know how much it costs to go through the game in an arcade, but I don't think I'd play it through enough to make it cost effective. Unless you can parlay enough UA-cam views to pay for (some of) it, I can't justify the price myself. It's really cool, though. Thanks for sharing!
Appreciate the feedback and comment!
COOL MACHINE!
Thank you
Great review PDubs! Love that T2 game. What do you think the next shooting cab from A1UP will be? Hoping for some Lethal Enforcers!
I still am thinking time crisis or area 51.
I still can't wrap my head around folks getting this with one game and it's issues you bring up. That said, if a T2 fan- respect. They're about half off now just four months!
I mean $399 not a bad deal
Just bought mine for $299 on Amazon for Black Friday
I bought this cabinet. Only Arcade game I really liked growing up. I liked others but never really played them much. I played this one everytime I went to mall. So for me this one was worth the money. Is it worth $700? No Arcade game is worth $700 for just 1 game. Lets be honest we don’t buy these for primarily playing the game. We buy it for the look.
The white line around the screen is the one thing I don’t like. I watched this video before buying it. I probably wouldn’t have noticed/cared about the white line if hadn’t pointed it out. But he’s right this game was very dark in the Arcade version. So I had the bright idea to put black velvet tape around the white borders. It made it look a lot real good because it enhanced the blacks. However when I first saw this video I didn’t realize he said the white lines are for the guns. So thats why my gun didnt work properly after adding the black border. Ooops 😂😂😂
This was sale for $550 a month ago and I should of jumped on it then. I’m new to buying Arcade games and noticed it’s impossible to find the Star Wars Trilogy and Arcade 1up isn’t making any more it seems. So thats why i bit the bullet and bought it for $700 because I didn’t want to risk not being able to get it down the road.
I agree with his review. It’s spot on. None of the issues bother me though because I just like having this in my house because growing up I would of thought no way would I ever own the actual arcade game (well a 3/4 in size version of it 😂)
Awesome feedback enjoyed reading this thank you
Where can I purchase the terminator topper for the arcade? I just purchased one of these arcades and would love to make it look cool like the one in this video!
Szabos Arcades website
IF this has multiple Midway shooters on it, iwould easily be worth the price
That wouldve been nice. Hollywood licensing is the excuse for the price tag on this one for the most part.
@@PDubsArcadeLoft for sure. Cameron needs the extra dough, he is hurting 😂
Pi4 and two wii motes in my tmnt cab and its more than good enough an experience playing t2 alongside all the other light gun games but I couldnt justify this on it own at the price
man they should do the hotd games
Agreed 👍
Love the review and I've been lucky to collect these with no remorse. I do agree on a lot of what you are saying though. My hope is mystery encoder does something like he spoke about with Bee Kong regarding trying to get other stuff running on these.
Mystery Encoder and his team are working hard! Stay tuned!
@@PDubsArcadeLoft *sits like a kid waiting for santa 🥺*
Arcade1Up has some nerve. $700 for that?! That's absolutely INSANE. I actually own several A1UP cabinets but no more. I got the AtGames Legends cab with CoinOpsX and it makes A1UP look silly.
yeah but can you mod it and add other lightgun games? that’s the dealbreaker - so much space in the spare room for a single game
Not without gutting the cabinet at this time
Great review .. just purchased for $500
Enjoy!
Have a feeling there’s going to be a pro version of this with a bigger monitor and probably Revolution X if they can grab that license with it. But I’ve been where you’re a that not $699 for all that. And I own the pinball game which it would go great next to, the original arcade game, parts for the gun are really hard to come by.
Sinden is garbage, just my opinion but working in the Pi emulation realm, they make you do most of the work yourself to have games be functional with that ugly border. They should have gone with a Phoenix AE or Gun4IR option.
Sinden appears to have been an overrated gun tech compared to the other 2 that came out right after that lol
It's now on sale at Kohl's online for $550
I’ve been planning to get one of these cabinets for my first apartment after college. This in the 3 contenders for which one I wanna get.
Nice man enjoy!
Really want it , but I wish 1up made mods where you can add more games and have better graphics and smoother gameplay. I had the pinball attack from Mars which is almost unplayable, sold it within 2 months.
no software/easy mods/hacks have been released for this cabinet as of yet
We don't want that bigger monitor now lol
lol fur real
Was wondering how the Sinden Light guns were used with Arcade1up. Too bad there isn't border settings I don't even notice it on my setup its so thin. Great video!
Doesn't work without the border
This is a great overall great cab. The marquee, coin door, and cords are all personal preference. The machine looks great and it plays amazing. I am digging it, big time.
Appreciate the feedback
I look at all arcade1up cabs as a base to which to mod if you want it truly authentic. Arcade1up is good about setting that price with just enough features to have you question buying it or getting a real cab and fixing but what is in their favor is size not many people can fit a real cab in their house so they bank in that when setting the price. It’s like if you see a cab you really always wanted you’ve got to bite your tongue abd purchase it knowing you’ll need to improve on it with mods. But ya for me I would wait to purchase these cabs and look on marketplace down line I always see these cabs on sale for good prices or ya wait till the stores discount them if you are Leary about buyers remorse.
Great feedback Frank thank you
@@PDubsArcadeLoft ya good review
As cool as this is....for 700$, couldn't they at least also add Revolution X, which was kind of the spiritual sequel? Might be a few licencing issues with the Aerosmith music, but you'd expect that, though...right?
Any update on this cab? I don’t care about the price, I’m more concerned about the space it takes in my room. I only have room for 2 more cabs. I love this arcade game but is this 1up worth the space it takes up?
No updates
Dubs, invest in black spraypaint for the guns ;)
Lol will do
I’m surprised no other games come with it. To me that’s crazy
Got my machine assembled and played a bit last night. The targeting reticle always gets stuck somewhere in the lower right quadrant of the screen near the edge. What's up with that? This is with the blue gun. I was too burnt out by that time, to try the red gun and went to bed a disappointed little kid.
Sounds like you calibration is off. Recalibrate the guns under settings or open a ticket with arcade1up customer service to help you
@@PDubsArcadeLoft I just walked in from being on the road. Once I get settled in and the arcade fired up, I'll check out the calibration. and report back. Thanks!
@@PDubsArcadeLoft Recalibration and stepping back a bit, both helped greatly. Thank you.
@@danidavis7912 excellent!!!
Worth $599 at Bestbuy now? My Midway almost mint just died after owning for 20+ years I miss the sounds in my arcade
Well...I mean it's $100 off that's better than paying full price - this wasn't worth $699.
I just bought this at $399. I think it was worth it at that price. Now I need someone to help me figure out how to mod it to add more games.
