On today's review I take a look at the Golden Axe Arcade1Up 3/4 Scale home arcade. Is this Arcade1Up a nostalgic trip back to the golden days of Sega in the arcades? Lets find out if this is a must buy for Sega fans and arcade1up collectors.

Welcome to my channel. I have been playing and collecting games since 1987 and I use this channel to share my passion and memories of gaming. I review games that I believe are under appreciated or wrongfully dismissed on Game Genie Reviews. Video Game Nostalgia is a fun series where I take a look at a topic from my gaming past and share games that come to mind from it. I also do Top 10 lists, of course I do...what else is on youtube right? Well I like to think I put my own spin on them because they are based on my life in gaming. Hope you enjoy the channel and always looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Everyone, I hope you enjoy the review and let me know what you think of the Golden Axe Arcade1Up

@evilgeniusentertainment 3 жыл бұрын

I'd love to have it, but $500 is too steep a price. By like at least $50. But as gamestop can't keep 'em in stock because they're flying off of the shelves, I don't guess that price will drop anytime soon. Great review Michael...

How this game didn’t initially get a Sega Saturn release is baffling!

@freakyfornash 3 жыл бұрын

I know, really! A 32X, or even a Sega CD (albeit to a much lesser extent) could have maybe done the game properly for that matter too. Why Sega never gave us a home port of Revenge Of Death Adder, but instead ported the mediocre fighting game in Golden Axe: The Duel, I'll never know either! That and Golden Axe III, which while I thought was okay, didn't even get an official stateside release for that matter also!

Great review as always Michael. Can't wait to get my hands on this cab. Currently on order through the Brick with a tentative delivery of end of January (fingers crossed). I agree that Wrestle War might be a sleeper hit. I have always been more of a fan of Exciting Hour/Mat Mania, but my local Malibu Grand Prix had Wrestle War back in the day and I did play it from time to time.

I grew up with three of these games on console so really have no nostalgic pull to play them a different way. It’s a nice looking cab however TMNT is the four player I have, and is super popular in our house. I’m liking the xmen cab but I think we’re only gonna do 1 four player cab. Great review as always!

Altered Beast was a pretty okay game for it's time. That along with it being the very first console game where you truly felt like you were playing an actual arcade machine in the comfort of your own home, even if it still wasn't quite a perfect port though. Problem was that it was a short game, with little depth to it, and didn't age too well as a result either.

I wanted this cabinet more than anything, then they released it mid Covid outbreak after I was laid off and jacked the price up to $500. I own five other cabinets and this one would complete my collection.

They have new legacy cabs coming out now that have all the games of the and sell the other 2 to make room SF and Final Fight cabs so I could buy that one....crazy I know. I have also thought about just keeping some in storage and changing them out from time to time

@freakyfornash 3 жыл бұрын

That's kind of the main problem with these cabinets, along with the cost adding up, as you get more. It's only a matter of time until you have no more space, and have to be very creative in order to fit more, if any others come along which you feel must absolutely have for that matter too.

@sleepinglionarchives 8 күн бұрын

Wrestle War's inclusion over other titles that would better fit the overall side scrolling theme of the cab (and its visual aspect ratio) still baffles me, but it's an otherwise stellar collection of Sega fighting titles. I'd have gone with Alien Storm or Shadow Dancer over the wrestling title

I really wanted to buy this game being a big fan of golden axe. But like most people who buys these things hard decisions have to be made due to space. And unfortunately I don't think I'll have room for it. Especially since I'm pre ordering x-men the second it comes out. And same with Simpsons when it finally gets made. And unfortunately I won't be buying Killer instinct for the same reason even though that game looks bad ass. Unless of course I can convince the wife to buy a new house with a bigger game room so I can buy more arcade games. But I probably have a better chance at hitting the lottery haha.

If that wasn't the generic Arcade1Up cabinet it would look awsome. I am not a fan of the way their standard cabinets look. Hey, you agree. Well, at least you agree with the part about wishing it copied the shape of the original. I'd like to see the art from the front of the riser copied to the sides. I don't think I have ever played Wrestle War. I'll have to pull it up on the MAME cabinet. This one would be tempting if it used the original cabinet design, or if they would change their awful standard cabinet design to something more akin to a cabinet you would likely have seen in the 80's or 90's.
