Thanks for the review. I, for one, am very glad to see Arcade1up finally make the Asteroids type cabinet, correctly. You definitely need to get hold of the 3, or 4 inch riser kit, or a fridge / appliance cart to put it on. I'm only 5.5-ish, and I still had to put a few of my cabs on fridge carts, so I'm pickin' up what your puttin' down. At the end of the day, these are 3/4 scale, and no matter what A1up does to them, some people are gong to encounter screen cut-off, to some degree. The only way around that is the riser kit, or appliance cart. The only thing holding me back on this cab, is the side art is not from a real cabinet. Still, it is a celebratory cabinet, so, there's that. It's tempting. At least it has the BOE monitor. Right?

Solaris is actually really good. The graphics were way ahead of its time and it looks more like an arcade game of the time rather than a 2600 game.

Gotta love that the first piece you showcase has two flaws… always something with these. Bad monitor, no light up coin doors, bad speakers, Jenkee software, flush control deck, light up buttons that don’t turn off, etc. We’ve seen them do all these things right individually on some cabinets, but they just don’t seem to be able to put it all together for every cab.

Thanks for the honest review, I've been eyeing it since it was announced. I can get it for $400 and change, but I guess I can probably afford to wait since holidays are a few months away and the atari units usually hit $300ish like you said. I just like that AVGN spin with "these are games you play alone in the middle of the night" and the lit buttons on the black body capture that 80s space age feel

Actually, cut-off is in Asteroids and Asteroids Deluxe. Such a disappointment. Given the cut-off and the shoddy 2600 implementation, if I had to do it over it would be a definite pass.

Great review Danny!! It’s true that for a company being this far they should have had quality control before releasing as far as the screen, with that said is it the end the world no, but could had made it on a lower angle. Hope you can keep all your cabs but thats the hobby we are in have to sell to bring in new cabs. 👊🏼

Nice review and really fair criticism on the screen height and angle. Wish they would either tip the screen angle back or offer two precut angles, one vertical and one tipped way back. It just works for me standing at 5’10” but the combination of marquee sticking out and screen vertical makes you wonder why they don’t QC test with you and other 1ups fans before mass production.

Cornercade, I agree, the cabinet artwork is beautiful on the Atari 50! But in order for me to add it to my Home Arcade, something would have to go, and I already have a classic Atari machine, Arcade1Up's Tempest, and Atari 50 can't beat the look of Tempest for me. I really wanted this cabinet, because it not only has the best Atari 2600 game on it, Breakout, but 2600 Breakout is also one of the greatest video games ever made! I'm sure the spinner would work great to play Breakout even though it originally controlled with a paddle (which has stops). Quality control checks from my experience with Arcade1Up are rare and it shouldn't be a surprise here. Line of sight issues have been prevalent on several cabs, and like you put it, making them sitdown only for taller individuals. And speaking about quality control, the trackball on my Tempest cab is low quality and you can't move it quickly, or the movement stops, yet the trackball is excellent on my Atari Deluxe 12 in 1 making games like Centipede play well. The lack of quality checks and quality consistency have been an unfortunate staple with Arcade1Up. Each cab is a gamble for sure. The monitor on the Atari 50 looks AMAZING! I'm glad they treated this BOE right! I'm planning on getting Arcade1Up Time Crisis now that Buy Stuff Store has an upgrade kit to the Retro Shooter box. That'll add SO MANY more lightgun games to it and I'm probably going to opt in for the 6 button control panel with high quality IRL joystick to be able to play an AMAZING version of Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 on it. I'm glad that cabinet has come down in price. Thanks again for another great review! I hope the next release from Arcade1Up is a cabinet you've been looking for :) vgv

Why, why, why is another Atari retro product have a fatal flaw?! The 2600 was my first console as a kid. Atari arcade games were at their peak. Atari arcade games need proper controls to enjoy them. Rollerball, check, spinner, check and bad joystick, what? To low to the ground to play standing. Bezel that is cut wrong. I had high hopes for this cabinet. I really just wanted high quality arcade game experience.

Good review. I would add that the joystick is really only a potential issue for 2600 games. I think the arcade title games only use the trackball, buttons and spinner. In person the cab looks really good. Maybe one too many 50s, but overall it is one of my favorite looking cabs. The Buy Stuff riser finishes it off. But I agree, should not have to do this at this point.

Buy a Switch, get the Atari 50 and a better 20" monitor. Same price, less space and WAY more games. 😉 Plus better emulation not compromised by A1Up. Wish they put a better chipset in this and had the actual Atari 50. That IMO would be worthy. $200 more probably.
