Arcade1up Galaga Deluxe Review - The Vault Special Edition, Best One Yet? 

Thank you Zod 💥💥👊 I’ll take them man :)

Me too :) it’s like that led colors we used to get on control panel being able to turn on and off. Thank you Dug Dawger 👊

They failed to include it with the Pac-Man XL Edition cabinet.

Yes the punch card!! Great idea man :) Only restrictions has to be from either direct or Best Buy, Target, Walmart and Kohls. Each has their own cards :) that would be awesome! I can see green would’ve looked sharp, Thanks Thumper Squid 👊

That’s awesome Julio! F&F is sold out t now, you’ll absolutely have a blast playing it!

The 19” is the best :) Thank you for watching Mark 👊

Thank you for sharing the video Quarter Deck :) if I had a wider budget I’d buy the other 3 Special Edition deluxe :) these look great!

Hi Mike, it’s good to hear from you man :) That’s Awesome!! Great price Thank you my friend 👊

Thank you Dave, I really want that now knowing what to expect! It’s an awesome looking cab they all are, wonder if we see more of these styles or full blown XL’s next year.

Thank you Dave :)

Thank you Skidz :)

Thank you Stokjock! I do too :)

Thanks for watching :)

Maybe on the XL, a lot of people agree on that lineup. Thanks for watching Zero Reduxx 👊

Thank you Justin :) You’re right maybe now these will be included more often, I think it’s better than a tin sign :)

@PDX7 100% better than a tin sign lol

@Justinski85 definitely:)

It’s the lights :) makes the difference, Thank you for watching!

Dude Thank you Jason 👊

Thank you Jesse!

Thank you Atran :) it’s a classic 80’s look man, really makes me regret selling Class of 81. Decisions can be tough, but won’t let this one go :) 15 in the room super crowded, but what arcade isn’t :)

Hey Thomas, Happy New Year! Thank you for watching :)

@@PDX7 and an happy new year to you, and all, as well! ;)

It’s just like our Pacman :) Thank you 🙏 I really like these new deluxe, the lights are such a great tiuch

Touch

Try to get the same deal you just got on PacMan :)

@@PDX7 That would be awesome. I am a little confued now though. Is there a regular version and a "vault" version? I don;t see any special edition version listed.

@ZacksRides the vault is just for light up buttons, coin doors and a metal certificate. Hopefully these sell well and we see this caliber for all deluxe in the future.

It really stands out lit up 91 Bravo Post, I’d buy all 4 if I could :) Thank you 👊

Yea they are a little low, same with Time Crisis I wanted to point that out when I had the tape measure out. When I add a riser booster from buystuff it will help a little bit. Thank you for watching Fireside Arcade 👊

Extremely Lucky :)

Thank you Mike lol that’s funny man :) where would you hang the certificate of authenticity? Man I’m really tempted now to get Ms Pacman the lights are so cool. It’s going to be tough deciding between Shaq and deluxe especially with the extras were getting :)

@@PDX7 hmmm if I had that certificate I would honestly probably hang it on the wall right above the cabinet. If that's an option. I can see the draw towards these special edition cabinets. They definitely look nice.

@TheBadGuyMikeWerley good idea :) Thanks man

Love Galaga 88 Carl :) they feel tight it’s hard to really say but they feel like they are stiff.

Awesome! I’m glad you were able to find one, Thanks for watching 👊

@@PDX7I'm importing it from Italy for approximately $520 after 5% discount coupon. Actually I'm seeing availability of different cabinets reducing here in Europe, adding support to the argument that Arcade 1Up isn't doing well as a company.

@ufomaster-blaster8024 520 is a pretty good price for Galaga, I think it’s up in the air with them they could come out strong quarter 4 or we could be seeing another lack luster year in 2025.

Thank you Bozo Calvin, if I would’ve bought Shaq when you did it would be perfect!

@@PDX7 well I just sold it yesterday gotta pay off my TC cab waiting to get something new next year

@bozocalvinjr2134 what was your go to game out of the 3? I love hang time

Maybe you’ll get this on the XL, hopefully next year 🤞 Thanks for watching 👊

@PDX7 Yes, hopefully. The Deluxe look okay, but the fact that they could still use a riser is a real turn-off. The mini risers look ridiculous imo.

@xcom6466 but they are needed help :) gotta go just a little bigger next time

Awesome! You’ll love it man 👊 Thank you for watching!

I’ll be watching for you man 👊

Thank you Bobby 💪👊

Yea that’s a good idea each coin could function differently, be cool to push those in.

Yes we definitely needed Gaplus and Xebious on this :)

Thank you Castle Ranch 👊 where did you buy Galaga from?

@@PDX7 Amazon 👍

@castleranch738 nice, bought SF2 on Amazon too

Thank you Kirk 👊 let’s hope for taller ones next year :)

I can see that, but the arcade has that same look cause that’s the first thing I thought too.

I agree it’s awesome playing Galaga on this cab! Did you buy the ST2 deluxe too?

SF2 lol

Thank you GCA with the price of this now, I’d go for Class of 81 for 499 and getting Ms Pacman on it.

I’ll send you a link below just select the cab and 3” or 5” www.buystuffarcades.com/products/mini-riser-for-deluxe-arcade1up-cabs Code: Christmas2023 gets $25 off 100 or more purchase :)

That’s a good spot for it Dave, I’m thinking on the wall :) what do you think?

Yes pacman is the same structural just need to pick up a Retro 530 light up kit and it will be identical to Galaga.

No they don't but that would be cool! I am on the other hand going to make my light up coin doors work as credit buttons when I get my TMNT cabinet done from a Simpson Arcade1up cabinet!

That’s what we need next hopefully just like KI Pro, make these functional! I was hoping to use my kohls cash on a Golden Axe sale but only Best Buy running sale. Thanks for watching Games Plus and Artran :)

I agree Marz Mobile, I noticed this on Class of 81 too. Really is the only reason I’d go into settings. Thank you for watching!

Indeed by the way great review !!!! @@PDX7

That’s a great idea Chris! Perfect spot :) How long have you been in Malta? I am a fan of the dedicated look even though the same games are on something else I may have I want to recreate an arcade.

I've been on Malta all my life. Born and raised. I agree about the look of the cabinets. If you want a close replication of an arcade you need them to look like actual ones. I am old enough to remember all the classics and grew up playing them. I remember Space Invaders being released and until then my only experience was Pong. What a leap in quality and playability that was. Then all the others started coming out, Galaxian with the first color monitor and graphics.... Asteroids, Galaga, Pacman. DK.....thanks the A1up, we can taste the memories again and collect old favorites. Keep up the good work and your walk-arounds! I love them.

@chriscaruana3471 Thank you so much :)

Very true the Atari 50 is definitely an exclusive:) I know Target, Walmart, Best Buy and Amazon have carried Galaga. 299-349 is the best deal out there.

You’re right, these are getting closer and closer every time a new one comes out.

I don’t think I’ve seen anything on RU-vid about this cabinet other than Cornercade’s cab. Hope we get light up buttons for everything now :)

Hey GG, both joysticks are the same on them also the XL, but the buttons on Galaga and PAC XL are better than PAC deluxe those buttons are the mushy type the light up are better.

I can’t tell Peter, it seems the same on Pacman XL just the menu and start up are different but don’t notice the game play different.

Hey Paagshim, it’s great to hear from you :) it’s a great cab did you pickup SF2 also?

@@PDX7 nah we already have the shinku we're all done buying sf2 even if they make an xl we're all set ! I almost never play sf2 game is just brutally hard.

@ThePaagshim yes it is brutality hard lol I only play the beat em ups :)

That’s awesome! It’s a very special cabinet, Thanks for watching 👊

Hey Retro Painiac, it is a 4 way gate you can always change it out if you don’t like it. Only trouble it’s tight to get inside and do it :) I think you would like it, but wait for it to drop 349-399 again. Thank you for watching 👊

Thank you Tommy :) yes both are staying here, not going anywhere for a very long time!

@@PDX7 nice 👍 they look great together!

Hi GG, the buttons on Galaga are slightly better because they are a different shape that the standard 1up buttons that Pacman deluxe would have. Both function probably the same it’s just Galagas are different plus lighting up.

Thank you Sonny 👊 Love the blue on Ms Pacman side. Although the black deluxe Ms pac looks really sharp!

I’d install before you build :)

​@@PDX7 twist my arm, Phil. But you're right get the marquee installed first and then enjoy it for life. Also had to get this cab bc of this video. It's truly a beaut!!

@user-kg8km3uv4f I can’t believe these are sold out. I’ve changed out a bunch of marquees even knowing when I build a cab I’ll have to open it up again, it’s hard to wait but such less hassle :) it’s a great looking cab it holds a special place with me.

I sometimes forget about it lol it’s the best way to play!

Their growing on me lol I regret selling Class of 81, hold on to yours Eric :)

I had to use it yesterday Saiyanspirits, Thanks for letting me know:)

Which ever you can get the best price is the way :)

@@PDX7 are the buttons and joystick the same as in the Pac-Man XL ?

@dannyr2272 yes they are the same, Galaga does feel a little tighter with the joystick but maybe just because it’s brand new.

I can see a SW XL next year, be pretty cool if those all came out :)

I agree Marc, the riser booster helps a little bit but would’ve been better if it was just a little higher. Thank you for watching!

There’s a rapid fire we can select in settings, I kind of like the mashing :)

Hi GG, there not as good as the iircade buttons I just compared them :) I think better than the standard but not quite iircade. Any time you have questions please don’t hesitate 👊

@@PDX7 thanks buddy I really want the galaga deluxe those buttons don’t work for me thanks again buddy fir getting back to me have a great evening

@GG-sn4cw Thank you, you too!

That comment makes no sense unless you are assuming everyone wants XL cabs which they don’t.

@@petermacnab1871 The people that buy XLs assume the majority are upgrading along with them, but I don't think so

That’s when these will be steals to buy :)

Yea I wish it was on there too, they make us buy Ms Pacman for Rally X. Thanks for watching 👊

True, but the TN monitor and if you want the dedicated Galaga look :) unfortunately it’s priced very high right now..

Dude Nice!!!

What’s the splash screen ?

@@petermacnab1871 the arcade1up logo boot screen with a cabinet specific intro, after an update it's just the logo without an intro, in forums I've heard there are legal reasons they have do it but idk

The little animation when you turn it on of the ship being captured. That used to be on my Class of '81 cabinet too. After an update, it was removed.

@@Triumph_or_Die that sucks ! I love those cool intros !

I hope that doesn’t go away it’s a great intro :)

Black deluxe or XL?

@@PDX7​​⁠I’m still hoping they release the blue and pink deluxe that they previewed along side class of 81 and Pac-Man almost a year ago

@stillMeNZa I think it’s going to be the XL

@@PDX7 that’d work for me . I was unaware of the black deluxe and checked it out. It would be a better fit considering all my cabs are black . Tron, Star Wars and dragons lair

Hold off on Ms Pacman deluxe until more retailers pick it up in the next month or two it’s still a little too high

I’ll have to really watch for the lag

No not on any of the deluxe cabinets, Thanks for watching!

I saw that Alex :) 359 for Galaga is a great price!

I know. I got mine for 399 from them back in late November and also got the sf2 from them as well for 399 in November too. Now the sf2 is 299. They don't want to price match but will take a return. Decisions decisions lol.

@pxp751 did you put it together yet?

@PDX7 unfortunately not. I have alot of cabs still in boxes awaiting someday more space. I'm selective as to which ones I install. Just sold my original streetfigter and mk2 from 2018 for 200 each and replaced with deluxe. Huge difference. I'm surprised how many people texted me through market place to buy them. Must be a huge following. Next on my limited space you know of is time crisis followed by pacman xl. Galaga will be on my future put together list. I know It's a good cab. It's why I bought them with the fomo of them all be gone soon. I think this is my final year of buying cabs. All major titles I have now. Maybe if something worthwhile comes I'll get it but for now I'm stuffed.

@pxp751 I paid 399 too I’d just keep it man you paid for it with those 2 sales. It’s too much work :)

🧂

I feel like Tony Little now lol I love Pacman too much and Galaga will always be sentimental to me I’ll always keep both :) Thank you Steps :)

@@PDX7if you have the space and like them go for it. I just always know people need space for another arcade. I clicked on the video because I didn’t know about this Galaga deluxe at all. Only one that I watched. Honeslty, you did a better job than some of the official 1up videos I’ve seen.

@stepsgaming Thank you for:) I’m out of space too lol can barely move around that room. Might have to branch out just a little lol

I have to be :) What do you think of Galaga?

@@PDX7 looks freaking sweet

@vilhelmstein2091 these vault editions are really cool looking, Ms Pacman is on sale at Wayfair for 419 it’s tempting.

I disagree but that’s what makes the world go around 😊

@@petermacnab1871 Galaga is simpler. I'll give you that.

Galaga 88 :) Thanks for watching guys 👊

@@SoulforSale and better ! Lol 😂

@@petermacnab1871 Exerion has more enemies, more weapons, more stages, more colors, better graphics, better controls, better game play and progressive difficulty. So, yeah, I guess if you like children's games Galaga is for you.

Yea we have to find a Bally Midway decal :) Thanks for watching!

@@PDX7oh and, great review 👍🏻

Thank you Raul Off Roader 👊

They are all toys. lol Whether it be OG arcades that we grew up playing popping coins into or the smaller Arcade1up or other company versions. Hate to break it to you but all video games, cabinets and consoles are toys. And I have a huge collection and I'm not ashamed to call them as such.

@@atranfanatic nope these are complete garbage. Real arcades have patterns, specific boards, and also a huge difference to toys.

@@panicfarm9874 That's okay man. We all have our own opinions and differences which makes the world go round.

It’s an arcade and a toy to me man, I appreciate you watching Panic Farm. Atran :) Thanks for watching my friend 👊

Thank you 👊
