Negative. No way. Totally ridiculous. The mere existence of Arcade1up caused some people here to lose their cool, and despite it being arcade related news, it got banished to it's own forum. I lol at the idea of "precedent". Midway treasures didn't get its own sub-forum, and neither did Jakks - so there's your precedent, I vehemently protest the creation of Altgames and moving everything that doesn't meet some new poorly defined criteria being defined by a few protesters.

Lol - I don’t know why you still see it as banishment. It’s a dedicated support forum for people who want to mod them. No different than the Pi subforum, the Jukebox subforum, or the lightgun and driving subforums.

You know it's not just for support. It's supposed to be where all Arcade1up conversation goes, including the latest announcement of a Star Wars cabinet complete with yoke. That's big news and has big potential but no mention here because... feelings.... Also, the fact that thread kept getting bumped with non-news was annoying.
It's banishment because some guys here got such ants in their pants when not everyone snubbed them, they couldn't bare to even look at a Arcade1up thread without making off color remarks. The treatment of the folks who choose to buy these is shameful.
The mention of Arcade1up will probably cause this thread to be moved there so pansies won't have to see the "A" word.

Let it go, Lew. Let it go. You sound as bitter as some of these “pansies”.

Your clue is in the “LLC,” bro.
They sold well enough to make more models of them. I’m personally surprised but eh. Those stupid Midway cabinets never caught on. Zizzle pinballs were a flop. Something went right this time...

I'm not surprised at all. You've got to remember, we know arcade machines, most normal people don't. They used the original artwork and since most people don't actually remember what their favorite cab looked like they see one and stupidly think it's an exact replica (only smaller) of their favorite game. It's the same reason atgames plug and play consoles succeed to this day.... they may play like crap but superficially they look like the consoles everyone remembers. You've also got to remember that as bad as these are, they are still leaps and bounds better than the midway plug and play cabs with their 8 inch screen put in a standard sized cabinet with garbage artwork plastered all over it.
