Arcade 1Up's Ikea cabinets

[lisowskikevin]

Man they're tiny.

wait, is that really the size?

Yep -- 45.8” H x 23” D x 19” W

[lisowskikevin]

Man, the artwork is slick and these will sell, but 4 games meh. Plus so bloody small. I love the fact that they aren't huge but that seems a little tiny to me.

[leapinlew]

19" wide is a good size. I think a 19" monitor, and minimal bezel artwork would've been nice.

Still though, it looks more comfortable than a cocktail.

Lets all just buy one so we can stop bitching about them in this thread.

No doubt. Lets fight about which one we will buy.

Centipede is the best, crap is the rest!

Who's with me!!?!!

[Nephasth]

Bitches love Centipede...

[JudgeRob]

If you have to straddle it like that, there's no reason to have 2-3p games.  They should make it even narrower so it fits nicely in your crotch and just stick to single player games.

I'm with you.  The side art on the Centipede is so great. 

[Zebidee]

Go grab your power saw and cut the bottom third off and they'd make great bartops! All except the Centipede, would hate to ruin that sideart.

Indeed. Or wall-mount the suckers like one one member here did with his homebuilt miniature cabs.

The Centipede cabinet's side art already comes pre-sawed and ruined from the factory.

[SlammedNiss]

Man they're tiny.

As a guy in a wheelchair, I can approve of this. But I can see why others won't like the size. The sideart on some of them look ridiculous, like Galaga. That sideart looks way out of place down at the bottom. The cabinets should be redesigned so that the sideart can fit up top where it belongs.

I always straddle my arcade games to show dominance. I want'em to know who's boss.

[JudgeRob]

lol. Put a saddle in front of that control panel and break its spirit... and the highscore

[bigster]

Man they're tiny.

The rampage 3 player looks like it would be impossible to play 3 grown people at the same time.  Maybe that is why they didn't add the fourth player for gauntlet.

over at atariage, someone mentioned the deluxe atari version, with asteroids deluxe, liberator, and super breakout
 on it.

It has both Centipede and Asteroids art.

it's an exclusive at frys.



it's sold out now.


decent selection.

but like everyone says, wait until it comes out, and its reviewed before thinking about it.

i would't get any of them, but that's because the control panels are flat, and it would hurt my wrists.

also, the slant of the monitor on galaga is wrong, instead of vertical it should be a lot lower angled.

here's a little more technical information on them.

FTFY.   

You owe my 7 minutes of my life back.  inaccurate info about the controls, no information about the OS, and that it uses arcade roms ;which I'm sure everyone knew.

[negative1]

update on the frys exclusive.

https://frys.com/product/9649533?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

super breakout is OUT and quantum is IN.

$499 gets you that and the riser included. (Still sold out).

the control panel has big directions and arrows for clueless people, ughh:

Frys does all kinds of BS with their online inventory status, don’t read too much into that.

Decent list of games, though.

[dgrace]

Looks cool, for the price (probably need more than 3-4 games though) but i'd probably rather get the Alpha-Cade from Recroommasters which would probably cost at least $500 after adding a monitor/TV and maybe a raspberry pi3. I guess we'll see what the reviews are after it comes out.

looks like there could be a possibility of some cocktail sized cabinets (not sure of the actual size):


1 street fighter 2 , with a vertical splitscreen so both can see the game
2 atari centipede - asteroids
3 space invaders
4 pac-man

i like the cocktail format, but if you play a long time, you get a hunched back,
and your wrists hurt a lot.

also the viewing angle is pretty bad.

Nice

[romshark]

A licensed, official Street Fighter arcade game, in a cocktail format.

I mean, I know we've all messed around with the split-screen function in MAME for fun, but I didn't think such a thing would happen officially.

At least this is the one case where a wide-screen monitor would actually work better for a classic game, providing more picture to each player. Doesn't look like it's using a widescreen though.

Also hope it's a really good quality LCD, because viewing it from that angle looks terrible on most.

I think anyone who knows anything about screens would agree a CRT would work better for a cocktail just based on viewing angle alone. But alas, CRTs aren't even made anymore, and I highly doubt we'll ever see them in any new mass-produced product.

edit: they do look closer to real-size in the picture. Or they put smaller stools to fool people ("forced perspective," like in the Disney parks.) Need a pic or video of a person sitting down and playing it. Or someone take a picture of a real cocktail with a coffee cup and bottle of Dasani water on it to compare to the pic above.

actually they look miniature sized also to me, in looking at how high up the legs the people in the back are.
they don't look like they come up to their knees.

i owned a couple of non-working cocktail cabinets before, and they were bigger.

Its not a review, its an 11 minute shill.

Drinking game, every time he says "free to play" instead of free play, take a shot. You'll be dead 4 minutes in.

Here are the high lights:
"reviewer" says these cabs will outlast the originals
he prefers these to the originals because they are portable/lighter
you cant access the operator menu
you cant access monitor adjustments
No SFII Turbo.  Just SFIICE, Super and Super Turbo

[opt2not]

Omfg, millennials.  I wanted to punch kittens every time he said Free to Play. It’s not a mobile game.

[Mike A]

Thank you for watching that video so I don't have to.

[javeryh]

Free to play*


* after $300 initial purchase

This guy actually said that you would not be able to tell the difference between this and the real thing? Lcd versus crt lmfao. 

Ah well still a no e machine, I really like the artwork.

[nitrogen_widget]

Oh no.  Somebody pulled the "innovation" card.  I look forward to the all copper cab with pop rivets all over it. 

Steam Punk!
would have to use copper foil for counter tops, or wait until the neighbors go on vacation and steel their pipes to meltdown in my backyard forge I still need to build.

[Howard_Casto]

Well despite the rerez guy's ineptitude, a lot of info could be gleamed from the review.  So in no particular order, my observations:


While it isn't arcade quality, based upon the build videos it should be fairly sturdy.

The back isn't painted, so you'd have to hope and pray that moisture doesn't get trapped between the back of the cab and the wall you put it against or it's going to warp that pressed wood.

Mono sound only and the speaker grill is in a horrible place.  You never face a speaker straight up as dust can collect in the cone.

The screw holes are visible.

Despite what he says, the lcd is too close to the bezel, probably so they didn't have to include some sort of bezel glass.

Based upon his description, the joysticks used are probably closer to a sanwa style stick instead of 'merican.

The volume control sucks (off, loud and soft?!?  WTF???)

The emulation is ok, but the software sucks as you can't even do simple things like turn on scanlines or alter the dip settings.

There will be screen tearing.  That single line on top he mentions is probably only a single line because fighting games don't really scroll the screen that much or that quickly.  While most of these games are older, single screen arcade games, it could potentially be a nightmare for the capcom machine with Strider and the like.  Then again it could be a symptom of not cropping the screen properly... I'm not familiar enough with cps emulation to really know for sure. 

That screen shimmering he mentions isn't something that inheriantly comes with lcds.... it is symptomatic  of a poor choice of video interlacing, compositing, ect. 


So yeah, not great news.  That being said I'm sure eventually you'll be able to get a good deal on these.... maybe for $200 around the holidays, and it still might be worth it for that.

You have been able to play asteroids from the comfort of your home since 1981.

I'm divorced with two sons.
My whole fricken house is a MANCAVE!!!!!!!!

"This arcade machine has been flagged!"   The millennials in this group won't get that reference.

Another SF review...

These are overpriced at $300, build quality is very suspect.

Love how he has to re-tighten the ball top in between rounds @ 1:35...
