      I just have to know why people want these cabinets when they can create their own machine and all the software is free? Is it the look of the cabinet? Is it the reproduction nostalgia? I guess space in my house is fairly limited so I wouldn’t jam these single title cabinets around my house when I could have one machine with thousands of titles in it.

      @@ArtificialExperience I bought a1up cause I cant fit 10 real cabinets in my house and idk how to maintenance them when they break. A dedicated cab is more appealing to me than a cab with 2 joysticks, 10 buttons, a ball, and spinner clogging the deck. I dont know how to build my own machine either. A1up provides (well atleast used to before going to shit) a convenient way to just plug and play while feeling like an arcade, while also being able to fit inside my house, no break, and not weigh 500 pounds

    Honestly, I am kind of happy there isn't a whole lot I want to buy from Arcade 1up. Collectivey I've spent multiple thousand dollars over the years for cabinets where I could be putting that money towards other things. This year I bought a used Marvel Vs Capcom 2 cab and I'm pretty happy there. If Arcade 1up was doing all the cabs I could ever want all at once, I would be in debt.
    A lite year from Arcade1up is good for my wallet!

    They were done in 2022. You can only buy so many Pacman, Mortal Kombat and NBA Jam cabinets. It's embarrassing what happened to them. How hard is it to get a license for a game from the 80s that is no longer produced? The guys who make the little miniature arcades seem to have no problem doing it. I would have loved a Robotron 2084/Smash Tv or even a Centipede that had the correct aspect ratio on a vertical monitor.

    Man, when I bought my first couple A1U cabs I like many of us in this community was really hoping they would expand their license holdings/sharings whatever. Since they released Simpsons/TMNT, which came to arcades in the early 90s, I was hoping they would expand their Konami titles and announce a Lethal Enforcers cab since they've done light gun games already and nothing. Just the same cabs/titles skinned differently. I think I"m done with A1U until they get their crap together. If they're planning on changes in the future to stay afloat, I'll believe it when I see it.

    I have no complaints about them re-releasing the same games. I have complaints about their terrible, laggy hardware, specifically the really bad LED screen on the Class of 1981 cabinet that has a 1/4 second lag time between the input and what happens on the screen. And that can't be corrected by any updates or replacing the stick. So disappointed. Some people don't notice or care about this lag, but it's very noticeable to others. My advice is to always try before you buy whenever possible.

    I'm relatively new at the hobby having started this year {4 cabs (Atari, Pacman, MK2 and Cap vs Mar) and 1 4K pinball Addams F}. I would like to see older cabs that I missed out on but I'm over all the Pacman variations. Star Wars in a Deluxe would be nice. If there was an upgrade for the claw to bring it up to at least 16oz, then I'd be game for that.

    I just bought the Atari 60th machine because I got an excellent open box deal for $399. I was thinking it might be my last cab I get as my confidence in this company is blah at best. They seem to have no one near the top of the decision makers, who were arcade enthusiasts, and it is showing. It's frustrating because I could take this company and hit homerun after homerun.

    I feel like Arcade 1up is a dead carcass being dragged around. I would love to see a pic of a Pac Man ghost with an Arcade1up logo on it. Im still waiting to see what John D does. Right now, I would love to have better replacements of my existing cabs like a better Simpsons and Turtles where the control panel is further apart and some flaws like the Turtles intro and that strange shadowing under the characters in The Simpsons being fixed. An NFL Blitz that has late hits and an NBA Jam that also has NBA Showtime and day one purchase for me.

    Why not get full sized games instead of these? I bought a Golden Tee Complete machine for $450. It needed a little cleaning up, but it's the real game. Between a few original cabinets and vertical and horizontal MAME cabs to fill in the game list, I just don't get these for actual collectors. They seem like they're made for a person that buys one at Christmas time and forgets about it by February.

    I bought a Golden Tee Deluxe this year, but that was it because the rest of what they released this year didn’t appeal to me. I think the slim cadey design and that new Pac Man are steps in the wrong direction. I’m ok with the claw machine because it represents something new and different, but it doesn’t appeal to me. I wanted XL Star Wars, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Smash TV/Robotron. I feel like their last truly exciting cab was Time Crisis and it’s been disappointing since.

    Arcade 1up was awesome when they first started coming out and were recreating all the old arcade games. Now it is pathetic and it's just re-release of the same old junk. Clearly there's something going on in the company and they're not getting licensing for stuff. Where is NARC? Where is Operation Wolf? Where is Double Dragon? Why stop? Keep it rolling!
