It's QVC blowing it out for warehouse space, plus it's an Arcade1Up machine. I already have the Arcade Legends machine in a one rental cabin. This one is going in another. | ||

@DrWatson That’s a good cabinet for the price I bought the first gen Street Fighter cabinet wish I would have waited for the one you bought. | ||

Feel free to use my post as a checklist. | multi007 private msg quote post Address this user | |
Here's a good review vid of a plethora of options. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqtjSoWrQas personally, I did DIY using an X-Arcade tank stick. When looking at a cabinet, make sure you know what you want to play. just the basics? defender, joust, robotron, pacman? or centipede, missile command, tempest? Q-bert uses a different joystick. Some games use 8 way positioning, so you may need to use those sticks. Then there's a spinner control for games like tempest. Then games like "centipede" and "missile command" use track balls... so do you want a controller with all these options? try this. https://www.mameroom.com/webstore.asp?productid=QUADCONTROLLER&category=157 has 8 way sticks, trackball, spinner... problem is - this is to be used in your own cabinet or diy mame pc set up. First step though is - figure out what do you want to play on it? will it be just for mame arcade? or to use with other consoles? playstation etc. lots of options out there. |

It arrived today. It took a couple of hours to put it together, but it was worth the $299. |

Looks like a great buy for the purposes you have in mind. Pac-man gives me PTSD. I had a lot of anxiety running away from the ghosts and trying to preserve my quarter for as long as possible. My quarters were limited and precious as a kid. | ||

I built this over a couple weekends over a decade ago. I ordered a custom bezel/header for the cabinet to complete the look. Sucker was huge and heavy. I built this before TVs got smaller and lighter. I think this was an old 32" tube TV so it was a bitch to move the unit around. It was also a pain in the ass to get the system up and running since the program was really buggy, but once it was up, it was an awesome system. I hooked up my Xbox, Dreamcast, Saturn, and N64 to this system via a switch box that only utilized the tv and speakers. |

Spinner was a deal maker for us on the Legends Cabinet. Must play Tempest, Omega Race and of course Discs and Tanks on Tron. | ||

FYI Walmart has the Arcade1Up Street Fighter 12-in-1 Capcom Legacy Arcade for $249.02 which includes the riser and light-up marquee that's $50 less than the QVC deal from post #25. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Arcade1Up-Street-Fighter-12-in-1-Capcom-Legacy-Arcade/143780129?athbdg=L1300 |

This is a good deal with the second joystick included BUT the system is otherwise the same (no riser etc). Check the reviews. It’s a common issue with 1up listings. Also missing Joust and kinda narrow game list… @EbayMafia for his thoughts Quote: Originally Posted by Murmonster |

Thanks @Davethebrave I see that in the reviews not sure what Walmart will do about that. What's weird though when I looked at Youtube reviews of this the marquee looks illuminated. Looking at the QVC one again it does appear to include the riser and light-up marquee. EDIT: I ordered one will see what I get and deal with Walmart if I don't receive what's listed. I have a feeling once this hits Slickdeals it will sell out so wanted to give the heads up on it. Also this price is just for the Street Fighter unit the Pac-Man one that @DrWatson bought is not on sale. |

I'm thinking about the Street Fighter one, but as a six foot adult, the riser is a must. | ||

@DrWatson My order shows delivery on Tuesday I’ll let you know if the riser is included. | ||

So the one from Walmart did not include a riser and no light up marquee. I will be returning it and might grab the one from QVC which includes both for an extra $50 |

We ordered the Terminator Arcade1up machine from Best Buy during their big sale this week. The price was 300.00 off. It brought it down to a level that was comfortable to spend. Maybe I’ll do a review on it once we get it up and running. |
