Ahh the game we didn’t know how to play but we’d still dump a small fortune of quarters on each time we died just so we could see the next animation sequence. Anyone else remember this the same way I do? lol
The level of detail blows me away! So glad there are people out there that love this kind of stuff and recreate it for us. If there was a technology collapse and I had to recreate any of this myself I'd be SO SCREWED! What an awesome replica, thanks for sharing!
To be fair, if there was a technology collapse, to where all our phones and computers were destroyed in some freak accident, and it was up to the public to create technology themselves, then I would think it would be a good 2 decades before we saw computers being somehow reversed engineered and recreated again from scratch for manufacturing. At most I think we would see game consoles like the super Nintendo being developed within 5 years of the crash.
I love how these are functional! Cool to see these little guys. I feel like this would be insanely difficult on that little thing though. The attention to detail is insane, the left no stone unturned!
Because of your review, i just bought one from New Wave Toys ! Thank you, i love your channel and seeing this arcade replica unit of Dragons lair up close & in detail, made it a must have for me. This thing (and their other mini arcades) are just so incredible. I love mini items, especially when it's done RIGHT. 👍😁
It can’t be overstated enough how different and cool this game was....I remember seeing this first at my local Chuck E Cheese and being completely blown away. Funny thing was I never saw anyone who was good at it, you were happy just to see the death animations👍
The crowds and the vibe around this game when it came out was like none other. Just nothing else like it existed. They did an amazing job with this one. Great review MJR!
I have owed an original Dragon's Lair machine since 1986 and still have it to this day. The detail on this miniature is incredible and I just ordered two based off of your review. The little replica Pioneer Laser Disc player is just mind blowing.
I was 4 minutes into your video and I ordered it, then finished your video. I was working at Disneyland in 1990 when I first saw this game in the "Starcade" in Tomorrowland. Back then it was $1 to play which was a lot of money but so worth it. This brings back so many good memories for me and I can't wait to receive mine in the mail. You rock, Metal Jesus! Thank you for sharing this.
I watched this less than a week ago and instantly clicked your link to buy. I just got it last night and opened it up 20mins ago. The quality on this thing is unbelievable! Even the feel of the materials, the stickers and the joystick. I would always go down to the convenience store with my friend and watch him blow through loads of quarters while I had a slurrpie. I can see myself getting a few of these, they are just too cool.
Awesome! New Wave Toys is really something else. I don't yet own one of the RepliCades, but many a random stranger has complimented the "Insert Coin" keychain that I have from them on my car keys
I was SOOO happy to hear you mention Space Ace lol! That was the only one of these games I could finish in the arcade. LOVED that game! Great review, I need to pick this up now.
They have Street Fighter II, Tempest, and Centipede out already. Asteroids is on sale, to be released in December. And more in the works! Im buying all of them until I run out of space in my office, haha! I want that cacophony of arcade sounds and atmosphere!
Wow, I’m kinda impressed by the fidelity, attention to detail and care that’s gone into this. Looks amazing. They kinda went above and beyond in pretty much every way possible.
I am so excited for this . I don't normally do mini arcade cabs and have never done Kickstarter until I saw this last November . It's been almost a year since I backed this . I can't wait for it to finally get here !!!!
I remember going to the arcade at our local mall on Saturday morning back in the early 80's. You can play any game unlimited for $5 for a couple of hours. My game was Dragon's Lair. I loved that game but never made it very far even with unlimited credits. Thank you for the great memories and all of your videos. I definitely have to pick this up.
Love this so much. I remember playing it at the arcades in Vallejo, Cali. And losing several quarters 😅 To know a mini cab exists.. just sweet Awesome video Metal Jesus🎉🎉🎉
Loved this game as a kid, the only place that had it was the local 7-11 (they had 3 or 4 games at the back of the store). After school it was a race to 7-11 for a Slurpee and to line up to play Dragon's Lair. Good times 😀.
MJ, Believe it or not, I had my RepliCade Dragon's Lair delivered on Sunday, November 8, 2020. This device is well worth the $140 (including shipping) I paid. Connecting it to my TV and discovering that it is compatible with the SNES controller to USB adapter has allowed me to use my Super Advantage joystick really giving me that classic arcade feel. Even though I have the game memorized, I will still play it on a daily basis. Thank you again for the vid. I would have never known that this item even existed if it was not for you.
I have all their stuff so far. The cabinets are great and the Coin Change machine/charger for the arcade machines is great. The Artcade book is amazing! Love the way these look in my game room. Will get them all and have a mini arcade like I visited in 1980.
I absolutely love these guys. I have backed every project they've put on KS since I fell in love with their mini Tempest cabinet. I have Tempest, Centipede and Street Fighter 2 mini-cabs and never once has any of them ever crashed or frozen. I can't wait to get my hands on this preorder and man! Asteroids is out now too! Get it!
Nice! That arcade looks outstanding. Im more of a Space Ace guy but love Dragons lair as well. Hated that these games were 50 cents to play back in the day. 😆
This takes me back to a very treasured time in my childhood. I was 9 years old when this game came out and ran to it every chance I had. I ordered one before I even finished your review. :)
That looks amazing! I still remember the first time I saw it in the mid 80's. it was next to the sit down Spy Hunter game I went to play and it utterly blew my away. Sadly it didn't take long to realise the game is little more than a memory tester so I didn't play it much.
Ordered Dragons Lair today....and last week both versions of Asteroids, Tempest and one of the last Street Fighter II. Hey and Dig Dug from numskull will (hopefully) be released soon. Thank God i dont need food, water or clothes..... I absolutely love what Numskull and New Wave Toys do - hope we will see much more classic arcade games!
This thing is sooooooo cooooool! Omg what an epic hardware. One of the most amazing pieces of this mini arcade trend. Really impressive, all the arcade replica pieces are just gorgeous and really hit all the buttons on my nostalgic brain region.
I just ordered my Dragon's Lair and also I pre-ordered Asteroids which is coming up next. I have a mini Tempest from New Wave Toys and the quality is top notch.
The HDMI out is exactly what the Street Fighter 2 replica needed. I passed on that for this reason alone. If they make a TMNT one and more with theses features ; I may start collecting these.
The fan service on this device is next level, it's mind-boggling! I have the Dragon's Lair book by the late Syd Bolton that details every device Dragon's Lair was ported to, I think he would have loved this
I loved this game back in the day! This one and Space Ace. Thanks for putting out this video as it brings back memories of when I would visit the local Arcade in 1983 as a 15 year old. And like you said, most games in the arcade were only 25 cents to play and this was 50 cents to play..ouch.
Wow this is awesome. The attention to detail is so good, they went that extra mile instead of just churning out something for diehard fans. They made a product that can appeal to a broad audience. My dad gave me the PC version of this when I was a kid in the early 90’s. I loved the animation and the classic hero tale. This is going on my Christmas list lol
I'm actually old enough to remember when this game hit arcades in 1983. I lived in a small town of about 8,000, yet the first few days they had the game there was always 8-10 people waiting to play. Finally played it a week later, and loved it. I just might try to find one of these awesome mini replicas.
I recently found the DVD version of Dragon's Lair at a thrift store. You use the arrows on your DVD remote like you would the joystick and the Enter/OK button for the sword.
@@pudboy3399 I picked mine up at NYCC last year. I remember the girl at the capcom stand saying. You can buy them directly from them. Might be worth a look.
I love all the little details and miniatures that come with it!! Haven't see anything like this since the early 90's when miniatures used to be all the rage (remember Micromachines?)
These cabinets are just above an beyond on the little details, these guys cleary really love what they do. This one is beautiful!
They look simply amazing!
I was expecting a slightly higher price. I think the details add a lot without probably costing them a lot.
It really is a gorgeous piece of toymaking.
Ahh the game we didn’t know how to play but we’d still dump a small fortune of quarters on each time we died just so we could see the next animation sequence. Anyone else remember this the same way I do? lol
I think I ended up just standing next to the cabinet in arcades WATCHING other people play it. It was great
that about sums it up!
@@MetalJesusRocks me too!!! I was broke lol
Yes I always died on the first scene. I couldn't get past it
My brother was one of those people who could play through it. People would give him fifty cents and watch him play.
I remember the show ‘Silver Spoons’ where the kid had this game in his game room and was insanely jealous.
This really is badass... I mean imagine having a nook arcade based off miniatures like this. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
That's a cool idea that saves a ton of money, maintenance, and space. Go for it!
The level of detail blows me away! So glad there are people out there that love this kind of stuff and recreate it for us. If there was a technology collapse and I had to recreate any of this myself I'd be SO SCREWED! What an awesome replica, thanks for sharing!

3:00 I love how MJR is oh-so-carefully trying to slide the disc out, like it's a real disc. :-)
Like a real disc, I didn't wanna get my finger prints on it! 😂
@@MetalJesusRocks decades of muscle memory LOL
WOW so many little details...The lASER DISC AND QUARTERS are a super nice touch
Finally! The arcade experience comes home to my bathroom.
It's those little replica touches that make me want to throw money at this thing.
The best place to play it. We all need a good way to kill time in there.
LOL so true
This looks awesome. I'm a huge Dragon's lair fan! I got to have it. Thanks for letting us know about this product.
You bet!
I love how these are functional! Cool to see these little guys. I feel like this would be insanely difficult on that little thing though.
The attention to detail is insane, the left no stone unturned!
Agreed, they put a lot of thought into it. Staying true to the original.
very clean design, lovet the little disc

Amazing attention to detail.... looks awesome
I am always in awe of your endless supply of interesting things to talk about!
Time Traveler was the game that blew my mind when I was a kid.
Yes! first saw it at Dixie Landing's Disney World in the early 90's. Would love to have that game in this scale
Ok
A 1/6 scale Time Traveler would be amazing but i'm ordering this Dragon's Lair too
@Channel X Actually yes I am lol.. one of my favorite games of all time. Love playing it on my switch and on Sega CD back in the day.. So what?
Same, I Kickstarter this so can't wait for mine to arrive
Awesome review! I liked how thorough you were with all of the little details!
Wow that laser player put a smile on my face
It can’t be overstated enough how different and cool this game was....I remember seeing this first at my local Chuck E Cheese and being completely blown away. Funny thing was I never saw anyone who was good at it, you were happy just to see the death animations👍
Mike matae from angry video game nerd recorded himself beating it
Mike matae from angry video game nerd recorded himself beating it
It took me a really long time just to beat the Amiga port and it was missing a lot of the levels. They were later released as Singe's Castle.
I’d use the HDMI out to add a tiny TV on top of the cabinet; like they did in the arcades with this game.
how did it transfer? was it responsive? was it worth it?
? I don't remember ever seeing that the few times I saw this in arcades/malls or wherever...
Haha good idea. They should sell one all retro crt style.
As soon as you plug a monitor into the HDMI, the screen on the unit turns off. Coulda been sweet though.
@@lemonmanlbc yeah I saw that
The crowds and the vibe around this game when it came out was like none other. Just nothing else like it existed. They did an amazing job with this one. Great review MJR!
OK the detail on this is a collectors wet dream. The disc and player really makes it feel like a complete mini replica.
Okay I need this.
Fwiw, I have all their mini arcade offerings thus far (including the change machine battery recharger) and have been very pleased.
I have owed an original Dragon's Lair machine since 1986 and still have it to this day. The detail on this miniature is incredible and I just ordered two based off of your review. The little replica Pioneer Laser Disc player is just mind blowing.
I remember being blown away by this as a kid. It was really cool for the time!
Where is your pfp from I keep seeing it everywhere
@@isaac2bands I have had this profile pic a long time. It is called Steal Your Face. It is an image from the band Grateful Dead.
Amazing attention to detail for a mini replica. Thanks for reviewing that!
I remember when I played this game a long time ago in the Arcade Hall. Very nice looking details!
Super cool mini coinop! I love Arcade cabinets so much so looking at this little guy is a true joy!

Got my order in today before they sold out again. Can't wait to sit this thing on my work desk.
Awesome! New Wave Toys is really something else. I don't yet own one of the RepliCades, but many a random stranger has complimented the "Insert Coin" keychain that I have from them on my car keys
I need that key chain
This is so Rad! This is gonna have to be my first replicade...this is the perfect little replica
I was SOOO happy to hear you mention Space Ace lol! That was the only one of these games I could finish in the arcade. LOVED that game! Great review, I need to pick this up now.
Just pre-ordered mine thank you for the heads up
This looks awesome, I'd love to have a bunch of these for other classic games to make a mini arcade.
Me too i'm all in
They have Street Fighter II, Tempest, and Centipede out already. Asteroids is on sale, to be released in December. And more in the works!
Im buying all of them until I run out of space in my office, haha! I want that cacophony of arcade sounds and atmosphere!
The screen shouldn't have been flat but is a perfect replica. Awesome.
my favorite game related channel
Thayer’s Quest! Now, that would be extraordinary!
NICE!! I remember playing all 3 Don Bluth LaserDisc games a few years ago on my brother's PS4.
Man, I remember being totally blown away by this in the arcade as a kid and then playing it and having no idea what was going on.
The fact that coin slots are functional is amazing
Wow, I’m kinda impressed by the fidelity, attention to detail and care that’s gone into this. Looks amazing. They kinda went above and beyond in pretty much every way possible.
As a kid I was always drawn to dragons lair.
I completely sucked at it but I watched that intro over and over.
I would love to see Operation Wolf, the uzi was so much fun!!
I am so excited for this . I don't normally do mini arcade cabs and have never done Kickstarter until I saw this last November . It's been almost a year since I backed this . I can't wait for it to finally get here !!!!
That's sick, I love it when these replicas nail it.
This is amazing, the attention to detail is pretty jaw dropping. I got to get me one of these.
The sound seems pretty amazing too. Hope they make more!
Just been transported back to the 80's again, but now as a GIANT, this thing is awesome. I think I know what's on the top of my Christmas list
I caved! I just ordered. Thanks MJ for the vid.

A work made with real LOVE. Amazing details !

Awesome video Metal Jesus🎉🎉🎉
Looks awesome. Love the attention to detail!
Yeah they really put the time in

i got to say.. that is some insane detail.. i am impressed..
I have never purchased anything faster...order completed before video finished...amazing
beautoful man... thats how mini arcades should be done
I Love Dragon’s Lair, I did the kickstart program, hope to get mine soon, Thanks for the review.
The detail is beautiful 😍
Much better than the competition !

It’s insane that I have multiple iterations of this game starting with sega cd up to the switch.THIS IS MY NEXT PURCHASE!
Nothing can ever change the feeling you get when the quarter hits the bin. The rest of the world ceased and ceases to exist.
WONDERFUL REVIEW! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice! That arcade looks outstanding. Im more of a Space Ace guy but love Dragons lair as well. Hated that these games were 50 cents to play back in the day. 😆
I have been backing them since their first cab, but you get a test version?
🤯🤝 I love you Metal Jesus!!🤙🛹
That is so dope. I remember playing that in about 1990 in a mall near my house. I was amazed.

It's out! Ordered! :D Oh man I loved their demos at PRGE last year.
Thanks for the video! I decided not to get the replicade, but New Wave Toys has a cool looking Dragon's Lair puzzle that I ordered.
