@@gordon12082006 hi Gordon, what issues are you having? i certainly haven't had any issues with mine, although I could be tempted to do a track ball upgrade mod at some point. Would like a slightly bigger one if possible. Those GAME bargains are long gone I think since the Sports Direct takeover.
Awesome retrospective gameplay room 😺👍🕹️. I still have CENTIPEDE for my Commodore 64 as a cartridge version 😺👍🕹️. THE OLD RETRO GAMES FOREVER 😺👍🕹️! Also, merry retrospective christmas 🎁🎄🎅🕹️.
Great game Centipede, although bettered by Millipede imo. Hell yeah to the old games being the best. Hope you have a great retro Christmas yourself Arttu🐱🥴
This looks a worthwhile arcade 1up cab to own as it’s got the rollerball and paddle which gives you that unique play style , and at that price point too makes it very appealing
You're spot on Scott. After playing it a fair bit now I can safely say if I had to let one cab go of th two I own, this could be the keeper for the very reason you mention. Most of these games just aren't the same without their original control method. Think it's back to £250 now which is what I paid, I till think that its“a fantastic buy at that price. Cheers for watching mate👍
I ordered one from game but their order email stated none perfect unit. I have sent them a letter to cancel my order as they have no functional email, phone number or any customer service. They seem to have been bought by Mike Ashley and are impossible to deal with.
@@adrianjones3824 ah that's a shame. GAME had been going downhill for some time but certainly since that buyout they seem to be almost pointless and nothing to do with what they once were. I bought mine before that change. Hope you get better luck elsewhere.
Liberator has been a real treat of a suprise for me, absolutely brilliant game, can't believe I knew nothing about it before. Possibly my favourite game on the cab, love it!
for sure getting this cabinet and now i'll have 2 arcade1up cabinets. I own the Dig Dug version of your pac mania cabinet, I liked the artwork better on the dig dug cab than pac mania but I still love pac man.
Great combo, this cabinet is a great one imo. Love the control options, many of these games just aren't the same without the unique controls. Best of luck👍
Lovely review mate and nice games room too. What did you use to cover the screw holes on your cabs? I have a Yoga Flame and can't find anything suitable that isn't shipped from the US for silly prices :D
Hey thanks for the kind comments. These were just cheap plasic type screw hole stickers I bought off amazon, think they were only a couple quid for about 20. I did try the little plastic caps that fit the exact hole size but they didn't work out sadly, might try another type of those as smaller and recessed would look even better. Thanks for watching and have a great Christmas.
Thanks mate, oh no idea if they'll reduce them again. They were £249.99 for Months on end before I bought mine, them dropped to £229. I expect they will drop again, bargain at that price.
this is a legit mod for 1ups... I bet they could be 3d printed even but at around $20ish not bad. cool looking cab. I see a coin button LED mod in your future.
The risers? Yes they would be super easy to print, they worked out a perfect solution for me and cheap. Definitely can see that coin door mod in the future, you are right😉 Thanks for watching👍
Yes some of them, of course including your fabulous Missile Command😉 Liberator is a fantastic game, just come off playing it again now, a new favourite of mine for sure! Thanks for watching Richard and hope you have a great Christmas 🙂
Thank you my friend, absolutely delighted with the Arcade1up, got something else special as well which will be shown in my next pickups. Cheers for watching.
No idea MrDirkles, it's just the one it came with. I find it pretty good but the viewing angle from the sides is pretty bad if that's important to you. Thanks for watching👍
@@MrDirkles no probs, and rightly so. I'm usually a fussy bugger too but thabkfully when it comes to these I just really enjoy playing them. I know some people have swapped out screens but I doubt I'll ever bother. Have a great Christmas.
Cheers Paul, oh yeah you can upgrade most of the parts if you wish, the trackball is an easy one to do apparently but this one is fine for now. I think they're fantatsic at their current prices, and its great way to play these games with the correct control methods. Cheers for watching mate👍
Ah that's a shame, still great late Christmas pressie. Mine took best part of 2 weeks from order to delivery I think. Hope you have great fun with it. Oh and recommend peeling back the screen protector film past the screws before fitting, will make you life much easier.
They are certainly way overpriced at full UK RRP! I paid £299 for Pacmania and £249 Cetipede, don't feel short changed on either at those prices despite the fact they have dropped lower since. Thanks for watching👍
You have an awesome room mate, love the new cab. I totally agree it looked too low. The risers were a great idea. Like the idea of the online scoreboards, nice to have a bit of competition. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas matey.
Cheers Dave, yeah the height is perfect with these risers, they work perfect. The online leaderboard really make it, as somebody that has nobody in the house to compete with it adds so much to wanting to improve those scores, just need to figure out why I can't see James so far. Hope you have a great Christmas too bud👍
Very sorry to hear of your recent loss. But, what a marvelous way to memorialize them! I'm still enjoying these cabinets, too. Thanks for the review. Nicely done room setup. Loved seeing those vintage PCs, too. Had them all. Well, still have the A400, but you've got the better of the two. I have the membrane keyboard version. LOL. :)
Thank you Thomas. Yes and the other thing I bought is also very special, that'll be shown in my next pickups. I'm delighted how the room turned out and everything inside is truly enjoyed! Must say I still prefer the design of the 400, and hey my 800 has a membrance keyboard too which isn't working currently so I need to strip it down at some point. Looing into it the membrane for the 800 was actually better for longevity than most of the mechanical variants it seems. Thanks alot for watching and hope you have a great Christmas🙂
@@Tetlee And a very merry Christmas for you, and yours, as well. I'd imagine servicing a membrane keyboard would be quite difficult, to say the least. I hope you're able to restore that 800. :)
Get some artificial grass and get that lawnmower gone😁 great think with these cabs is they really don't take much space, my room is very small. Cheers for watching Paul, hope you are well mate👍
That's a great looking little room and I'd love to get a cabinet for my room, space might be an issue though. I'd probably have to do a lot more wall mounting to make a bit of floor space for one. I was taking stock the other day and I may have a collecting problem.🙄 Now sitting on five TI99/4A's, two BBC Master 128s, two BBC model Bs, one Acorn Electron, two Atari 130XEs, one Atari 800XL, one Mattel Aquarius, one Toshiba HX10, one Dragon 32, one Tandy CoCo 16K, one Tandy Coco 64K, one Commodore 16, one Commodore Plus 4, one Commodore 64 original, two Commodore 64Cs, one ZX Spectrum 16K, one ZX Spectrum 48K, one ZX Spectrum+, one ZX Spectrum 128, one Spectrum 128 grey, one ZX Spectrum 128 black, one Commodore Amiga A500, one Atari 1040STE, one Atari VCS, one Atari 2600 Jnr, two Intellivisions, one Colecovision, one Nintendo NES, one Nintendo SNES, one Sega Megadrive, one Sony PS1, one Sony PS2, one Sony PSP, a few handhelds and lots of software and hardware for all the stuff listed. Thankfully most of it was accumulated before the prices got silly.
Hi Allan, hey this is strange, I remember typing a reply to this message after you posted it but it shows as if I didn't respond. Anyway that is one incredible, and I mean INCREDIBLE collection you have there! And I know you have a ton of software(way more TI99 than I could dream of amassing). You really need to start your own channel😉 Would be amazing to see. Wish I'd have had more urgency when I started rebuying my retro stuff(The TI was what pulled me back in and software was so much more available at that time), of course didn't realise prices would go crazy and availability disappear. Still I am lucky with what I have and do remind myself that regularly 😊 Hope you had a great Christmas and have a great new year too.
@@Tetlee I've actually considered making a video or two for RUclips and I may well do next year. It'd give me an excuse to go through all the TI tape software and some of the cartridge stuff too. I picked up quite a few of the 3rd party releases on cartridge for the TI from Arcade Shopper over the years-so I've got Sabre Wulf, Jet Set Willy, Flappy Bird, Turbo Forth, Flying Shark, Jet Pac, Borzork (Berzerk clone) and a few others too. I've also got a few of the Databiotics carteidges too so there will hopefully be something of interest there. The only problem may be my presentational skills.😆 I'm delighted to see your videos though so keep them coming. Hope you had a yop Christmas and best wishes for the New Year Lee.
@@allanmailer4540 well nobody's presentation could be worse than mine😁 I use my mobile phone(which is a crap one) propped up on a beer can money tin and that is all😂 Will be great if you do get some vids going, I never thought I would but really enjoy doing it although I don't think I'd ever be bothered to do all the editing that most youtubers do. It's just nice to share your hoby I find. Anyway all the best👍
This was great to watch Lee, really enjoyed hearing your thoughts about it. All valid points you made. Didn't realise it had now gone even cheaper, its an absolute steal in my opinion, all the games are good and awesome to have the unique controls on a nice looking cab I have mine on an extra riser to and definitely makes a big difference, i raised mine 5 inches🤣 I cant see your scores either, just have your name in favourites and cant see anything else can do. Do you have the arcade1up phone app as you can views favourites on there too? 👍
Glad you enjoyed it James, ooohlook at you with your 5 inches🤣 Yes I do have the phone app, when I try and search your name in there nothing comes up, hmm must be missing something here but what I have no idea. This is a brilliant cab and like you say with its even lower price its incredible value. Was playing than Akka Arra game just now, now that is a weird but fun one😁 Going to have another look at the app now.
@@Tetlee that's the same result I get when I search for you on the app too, can't get me head around it. Must admit I quite like Akka Aarrgh, it is weird but good
