It’s a full-size machine, not a toy. It can stay put. ;)

$599 for a the full-sized 66" cabinet, or $399 for a "compact" 44" tall version
uh oh! 44" is 4" shorter than a Arcade1up and 16+ inches taller than a average bartop.
The good news is I'm sure the haters are going to take a break since they shot their load on the Arcade1up. I, for one, am interested to hear how this plays out. I'm almost 100% sure I won't be getting a pallet of these, despite my massive profits.
So much retro available. It's crazy! This is our genre of things getting watered down by mass produced reproductions. I guess we are getting old now that we are the target market to recreate nostalgia.

Lew...It is hard not to get excited over the concept of arcade1, They are truly a perfect storm of consumerism if there ever was and they lure one in on the cuteness/price To the point of buying multiple.I been there also, (You can get 2 of them in a cart) But would like to formerly apologize for my part in that, Jenni is sorry :cheers:..As for these new machines I haven't seen one yet, but the design seems a bit off, The bottom is cut with a bathroom vanity feel, and I could see that being a problem after some hard use, The speakers seem a bit "In your face" and a bit distracting, As with the A/1 I would guess at some point someone will just scan it and offer up the build your own files for your local print shop templates offering one more control over quality and materials as a DIY build.

There's no hate man, it just doesn't look very good. The artwork looks like some of the horrid "let's throw 50 different characters that don't share the same art style on the side" look that we sometimes see around here. That'd be excusable if it worked really well but with that layout even if it emulates everything perfectly and has a great interface it won't change the fact that those spinners are pretty much unusable where they are now. At least with the 1up stuff things looked promising until we saw them in action... we haven't even seen it yet and there are already some pretty major things wrong with it.

You all vote for this every day. Brutal Truth.
Haze:
and AT Games are deliberately squirming out of questions regarding the emulator licensing, or ignoring them entirely, and apparently firing off cranky private messages at Jason Scott of The Internet Archive for highlighting that.
Previous Flashback units shipped with unlicensed versions of MAME despite claiming that everything is always fully licensed.
AT Games products are usually considered garbage, cutting costs wherever possible.
I'll let you draw conclusions.
Mine is that this is not the kind of company you want to be buying from.
