There are at least 5-10 full unboxings on youtube (sped up), and another
10-15 gameplay videos.
SF2 seems to be the favorite cabinet.
I've seen a few Rampage ones, and the occasional Centipede one.
NOBODY seems to like the asteroids cabinet, or at least they don't post they do.
=========================
Tons of problems and issues on the facebook page.
But Arcade 1up is trying to answer everyone, and provide support, but seem to
be overwhelmed by it.
They're having a hard time keeping up with the problems.
Hopefully, they can get them straightened out.
=========================
It appears to be a 50/50 split of people happy and mad with the product.
Or maybe that's only people that post or youtube videos.
There's a lot of clueless people that don't know:
-----------------
1 CRT VS LCD - they seem to think the picture is pixellated, because the original had scanlines
2 The sound is off in SF2, due to it being MONO, and not stereo
3 Not knowing that Gauntlet is only 2 player, because it has a 2 player rom, it never supported 3 player.
4 People not understanding the controls, which buttons do what, or even how to play the games properly.
I have yet to see someone thats actually any good at these games post a video, not one single playthrough,
or sign of an actual player yet.
Unfortunately, due to the shipping delays, lost packages, questions about the control panel graphics wearing out,
and just lackluster controls, and the odd dead pixel, there's a lot of confusion.
Yes, $300 is not much for some people, but for others, it's expensive, and they expect better, I know i would.
The people that are collectors, or bought it for kids, or won't play very often are happy.
The picky, OCD types, will complain no matter what, because that's what they do.
======================
The only knowledgeable person, that's going to mod it, with the Pandoras box, and show how to connect a PI
to it, seems to be the only one that has an actual idea about the system, and will be the one I will watch
to see what future developments can be done to.
Also, waiting to see if people mod the controls, and put up videos. Especially for the spinner and trackball
because those seem to be the worst off.
If that can be done, then the Atari deluxe cabinet will be the best one to mod, and it won't have control
panel graphics wearing off issues either.
later
