I went to the local store and asked them to price match their website, and they did, so I have Asteroids. I bought the cabinet, because it’s being sold on for $199 (down from $299). In fact, when I was going to the arcades, I never saw these (and if they were there, I never played them). I recognized that these games are important, but these games ( Asteroids, Major Havoc, Lunar Lander, and Tempest) were just really way before my time. Of all the cabinets that Arcade1Up released, this was my least desirable. So, I accidentally bought my second Arcade1Up, an Atari's Asteroids machine. You can see me just struggling to make it to the second level. Pac-Man Plus seems like a hacked version of Pac-Man, but it’s incredibly difficult to play. Golden Tee in June, and MK and Karate Champ in September.īelow is a video of me playing Pac-Man for the second time on the Arcade1Up machine, if you’re interested in seeing how the game runs. Update: Official release dates will be Final Fight and Space Invaders will be out February, In fact, now that I think about it, I kind of wish Arcade1Up would release Double Dragon and other beat ‘em games in one cab.Īnyway, as far as I know, according to their website Wave 2 is coming out “as soon as February”. It’s kind of funny, but pre-SF2, most of the popular arcade games that I love were co-operative beat ‘em up, which Double Dragon made popular. but still, I know I’ll have a lot of fun if a friend can jump in to help the beat ‘em up game. As for Final Fight, I mainly want it for the 1944 game (I love shoot ‘em up). The artwork for the cabinet looks awesome. I’ve always been a SF2 fan vs MK2, but I can understand the appeal: “realistic” animation and bloody violent. Looking at the Wave 2 lineup, only two games are on my want list: MK2 and Final Fight. I’ve already bought Street Fighter II, Pac-Man (what a beautiful machine!), and Asteroids (intending to mod it with a Pandora’s Box). I’m really excited about these new games coming out, because it sounds like they did okay (and maybe made some money) on the first wave to continue on this venture. Karate Champ (Karate Champ, Bad Dudes, Burger Time, Caveman Ninja).Space Invaders (Space Invaders Color, Space Invaders Black and White).Golden Tee (GT Classic '01, Golden Tee '2k, Golden Tee '99, Golden Tee '98).Final Fight (Final Fight, 1944, Ghosts 'N Goblins, Strider).Mortal Kombat II (Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, Mortal Kombat 3).
