Are you guys interested in the partycade form factor? I dig them....

@CA-tk8yn 8 ай бұрын

I got mine for $150 and think its about the right price for what ya get. You got a great deal

@evilgeniusentertainment 8 ай бұрын

Yeah, $150-200 is a good price for these... $300 not so much. But if you're pressed for space, these partycades can be a great option.

I got this off Amazon (paid more but needed it within a certain timeframe) and love it. I have almost no space available but always wanted some kind of Ms. Pac-Man I could play with a true arcade feel. My biggest "complaint" is Galaga is not in the line up of games I'm assuming because it's a seperate partycade. That would have put this over the top for me.

@evilgeniusentertainment 2 жыл бұрын

Yup - if GALAGA was in the lineup, it'd be a no brainer for sure.

Galaga in on my Ms Pacman and my Pacman partycades

@__Pathfinder__ Жыл бұрын

For the second generation they want to sell a seperate Partycade for these most famous titles. So they are not included in the others. Why would you buy another Galaga Cade if you already have it on MS or Super Pacman Version. I don't like that, too. But the salesmann in you thinks: Yes they are right.

@__Pathfinder__ Жыл бұрын

@@SoulforSale That was first generation. They didn't had a Galaga Partycade than... Now they want you to buy a second.

I have the Defender Partycade and a Pac Man one that I made a 60n1. Pros. They have the 17 inch screen just like their bigger siblings. They are totally portable. Desk top or hang on wall or door. You can take this thing on road trips or to parties. They play really nice. Cons. The screen is kind of straight up in your face. I like to tilt it back a bit. I use the rubber things they have on the back of the cab. I put them under the feet The play deck isn’t really large enough to rest your hand on it completely. You end up with you hands on the edge. It’s not the end of the world. You get used to it and it doesn’t effect game play but the bigger play decks are better. I have the Tempest Legacy cab and it is a bit more immersive with the tilted recessed screen and sitting at a stool. It has a little more real arcade feel than the Partycade for sure. All in all I think they are great for what they are. I love how you can just move them around.

Agree on all points - they're not quite as good as the full size machines, but considering everything (including price!), they're pretty dang cool.

Not every classic arcade fan has room for a big arcade. The partycade fills that gap perfectly.

Well that's a heck of a deal too! I dunno, for $130 you get a perfect "wow" present for the arcade fan - no muss, no fuss. I wouldn't pay $200 for one. but $130 seems fair considering all the hardware you get and how slick the cab is.....

Looking for advice.... I've seen some videos stating that you can add games to the SD card. If that's true, even if you spend a little and replace the joystick and buttons with a higher quality version, you're still only $300 - $500. I'm looking to do just that. Anything I'm missing that might change my mind? If I couldn't add games, that would be a deal breaker, as Ms Pac Man is the only game out of the games that are on here that I like. Thanks

@evilgeniusentertainment Жыл бұрын

It is possible to add games to some cabs. A1up themselves did so w/OUTRUN, allowing users to add a 5th game, RAD RALLY. You can apparently add some games to THE SIMPSONS... but I've never heard of anyone doing it to a partycade. It might be possible, but I haven't personally seen it done. Plenty of people had replaced the CPU w/ a retro pie setup though.

They have this in the break room at work but the joystick sticks like crazy. Ms Pac-Man is unplayable

@evilgeniusentertainment Жыл бұрын

Easy enough to replace if it can't be cleaned... considering that they're now going for $300 new now, it might be worth it.

I’m only asking this because I have the pcb for this and want it to work in my gen 3 ms pacman machine from 2020 , thanks 😊

I actually don't have that partycade; gave it to a friend for a housewarming present. But it was a BOE screen for sure. The Dell I'm using in my 1up multicade is the 20" version. As long as you have the right vibs board thingy, it should work. No guarantees, but this is the one I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JCQCQH6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
