This is an ON THE ROAD video too! We will visit the Hangar Pub and Grill in Amherst, MA to compare.

For Halloween, John should make a fake graveyard of his gone and removed games that are no longer in the basement and each one with a clever epitaph. Turbo: Lost it’s steering wheel! What an ordeal! Time Pilot: It’s time in the basement flied too quickly. Qix: The simple Qix left the basement to bring in new games with a unique mix. Popeye: Sea you later captain! . Punch-Out!!: Was given the killing K.O. punch to the screen, but has now revived from the dead at Jays: bigger badder and more violently mean. Super Break Out: *Im not dead guys! :D I’m just busy working at Johns office!* Domino Man: His quick toppling depart from the basement didn’t help him forget his troubling start, as he began as a outhouse for mice to take a nasty shart. Star Wars: The force will always be with you even if you are far away with Jay. Moon Patrol: Your mission for the basement has now been accomplished! Whirlwind: The only severe storm we ever loved has now ended. Simpson’s Pinball Party: Doh! Why did it have to go! Asteroids Deluxe: An Atari classic that brought a smile to our face. But now has finally blasted off, into heavenly outer space. While it is so sad to see it go away, but it will be in our hearts in a permanent special place. Black Knight: The Black Knight once fought other pinball machines both left and right, it’s black shiny armor quickly faded out of sight. Toobin’: It floating away did not wash away our sorrows.

the shots of the replicade cenitpede strapped in as you drove out to the hangar, LOL! I imagine they prolly had to make some concessions on the sideart to compensate for the taller monitor (since it's not full-size) Seems really cool! Though I think for double that price, you could get the 1UP Arcade version and that also has milipede and missile command! (but then I don't already have a basement arcade so that's just me. :P)

We truly are living in the era of the revived arcade. These mini units are coming out, all over the place. This is an amazing luxury item, indeed. However, I've got to wonder for luxury items how this one is going to stand up to the Arcade1Up 4 foot model that is about to be released in just a few days. (Whom does include Millipede.) Granted, there is no coin door on the thing. But, you get four games for (either) $300. (Or $400. Waiting to see which price winds up being true.) Of course, if one doesn't have the home space for a small arcade, this one definitely fits the bill. The micro quarters are a strange thing, indeed. Definitely a hard thing to keep from losing. I suppose like the guys over at IGN were showing, this mini works great as a conversation piece with a scale model action figure at the controls. And I don't think working slots would have been too hard. Coin devices would probably jam too easily. Though, I could see a tiny electric eye that watches an internal LED as a good round-a-bout to this while the coin could have dropped into that internal coin bucket.

@deralfenderson 5 жыл бұрын

Pretty sure the $300 price point was for pre-orders. Maybe $400 after it hits the market officially? Either way, still quite a bit "bang for the buck" better than this lovely gadget that looks great but costs WAY TOO MUCH.

@theSammyM333 5 жыл бұрын

For 1/6 collectors this is a must buy and those usually cost 150-1500 depending if it´s display or just one figure or item. I don´t think many 1up buyers would even consider something like this. Same way arcade enthusiasts would ever consider 1up over real cabinet.

It seems to have a slight bit of audio lag, but then again, the Arcade1up machines (Atari cabinets, as well as Rampage from what I've seen) have it as well, probably the same emulation (MAME). How's the video scaling? Is it consistent size in all directions? (Minimal or heavy distortion is size of things based on resolution.)

Back in 1982 those cheap plastic coleco tabletop games where $50-$60. Not many kids had them. There was a full size Atari centipede at the thrift store a few years ago. It was in very good condition, they were asking $400. Somebody likely snagged it a few days later on half price day.

Unlike the Arcade1Up, this has a light up marquee and was made with precision and quality in mind. The Arcade1Up isn't even 4 feet tall and I think is made of particle board. Good luck playing that without the extra $50 booster. Which would you rather have? A cheaply made 3/4 scale cabinet? Or a precise, quality made 1/6 cabinet? As someone who actually grew up playing the original Centipede in the arcade, I'm truly excited about this Replicade one. It really is a childhood dream come true. $160 is a little high but I was able to get one with 15% off when I ordered a week ago. I'm really sick of the cheap retro knockoffs and crazy happy about this replica.

As someone who already owns an upright centipede (that I'm unfortunately having to move into a new cabinet, but that's what you get when you buy a water damaged cab for under $300) I cant justify buying this, but maybe Ill instead spend the money getting a new crt so my original doesn't have to use the lcd I have in it now (because the old crt was burnt in too horribly, but once again, that's what you get when you buy a water damaged cab that's had over 130,000 plays on it).

Is there anywhere that has done an arcade with all LCDs? It only occurred to me recently that arcade machines were designed like they where because of the reflection and bright light, so why not make arcade machines with LCDs and HLSL scanlines settings, that way you have the nice advantages of LCD high contrast and brightness preserved and no reflection, best of both worlds and no need to emulate the other CRT effects. I recently experimented on my own LCD, twisted it in to portrait mode and used sRGB mode, tweaked some HLSL settings in MAME and have really nice high brightness which brings the pixel detail out in the games kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ia1kl7qX3L_FdXk.html
