Arcade1Up Tron Review! Finally I get to release my Arcade1Up Tron Review which should of come out back in November of last year. I found my cabinet in store at The Brick but unfortunately ran into an issue with the controller which made it impossible to play and of course review. Now that my cabinet is finally up and running lets take a look at all the bells and whistles on this beautiful home arcade and see if the included games pack just as much punch.

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 Guys thanks for checking out the review! Let me know what you think of the Arcade1Up Tron Cabinet

@mysteryencoder9997 2 года назад

If you're on mcaps discord I'd like you to PM me :)

@lethalwolf7455 Год назад

I’ve seen so many complaints on poor quality and controls break right away or are unresponsive. My wife bought me this for my birthday 2 weeks ago. On my unit, everything works, the controls are very responsive, and it’s a perfect duplication of the original I played as a kid. The build does take time and patience but it’s worth it! Love Tron and it’s awesome to have one in my home.

@TheLostBoy1974 2 года назад

I was obsessed with this game back in ‘82. I know a lot of people don’t look fondly on the game itself, but I genuinely love it for its gameplay…not to mention the 8-bit Wendy Carlos OST is amazing! Great video!

@crimsonhowler5770 Год назад

One of the greatest arcade games of the 80s

@werper09 21 день назад

@@crimsonhowler5770 Yes me and my friend were also obsessed with this game at the arcade. I remember one time there were three of us and as we walked into the arcade my 2 friends took off sprinting to get to the game first, The got tangled up and ending up tripping over each other crashing to the ground...I casually walked by them (well briskly walked by them) and go to the game first..haha.

@HoldandModify Год назад

The "spiders" are actually called Grid Bugs. They are in the movie for about 5-seconds. They were to feature in a longer scene, but they've ran out of money and time. The game devs had access to the original scripts and story boards. Then included a Grid Bugs mini-game.

@FadoraMan83 2 года назад

The only way humanly possible that I would even consider picking this Cabinet up is if it was 399 or 499 I will not pay a penny more for it with all the negative reviews on the flight stick that I have seen. Other than that it is a spectacularly beautiful cabinet with all the special effects and the blacklight and all the reflective paint and it's very flashy and nice looking very retro very '80s but still that's not going to make me spend close to $800 on this machine nope.

@redadamearth 2 года назад

Yeah - I mean, I would pay the $700, even though it's overpriced, just to have "Tron" in my apartment - but the fact that there are SOOOO many reviews about the joysticks on this one falling apart almost immediately makes me really reticent to get it. Some seem to work fine and others either have non-working triggers or just break and it seems like a crap shoot - and for that price, it shouldn't be.

@walterharris3861 2 года назад

Paid the preorder premium for this one and have zero regret. One of my most played cabs and currently holds “middle of room” status, standing back to back with Star Wars. In a room of 13 cabs, this is still the girl that catches my eye.

@Jay_J 2 года назад

Nice review Michael. I think you hit all the main points. There are folks out there who make vinyl graphics for the kick-plate, I picked one up and it looks great, and really helps to make this cab stand out in my home arcade. Thus far, like yourself I haven't had any problems with the flight stick cracking, but I picked up one of glens just in case, as A1UP's replacement is the same, faulty design. Likewise I haven't reached a level on Discs' where I use the push-pull functions, but it's only a matter of time. The other thing about this cab, the menu's are really loud, and the fully assembled cab is VERY heavy, unlike my first gen units that I can move around without assistance. Thanks again for the great review, we'll see you on your next Monday eve live-chat.

@rbwings2468 2 года назад

Tron was my first and still only A1U cabinet. I really love it and had nostalgia for it. It would have put me over the top to have GORF on it too. I have modded it with a digital picture frame in the top for the mcp but also included movie clips of all the action scenes. I had lighting issues and a cracked screen cover out of box but they have resolved them. No control issues so far. I am up there in the top 25 somewhere for arcade scoring. I’m working thru some later game light cycle consistency atm. Great review! The front panel is a barren wasteland that needed something for $700

@jamesfloyd2274 2 года назад

Is the cycle consistency issue with you or with the hardware itself?

@pedropedroki9070 Год назад

I would like to have a Tron cabinet modded with the games that use the flight stick. Also a Star Wars cab modded to play the games with the yoke.

@Ranger49 2 года назад

One of the best looking cabs A1Up has made. No nostalgia for me so I passed but maybe someday.

@ThomasGrillo 3 месяца назад

This was a cab I was I had been waiting for, for a very long time. Sadly, a medical disaster ate into the arcade fund, and I was never able to pick this cab up. It's to bad A1up did not emulate the city backdrop that appears in the real Discs of Tron. Could've been done in software, but in the real cab, was a cardboard graphic which was lit by a white UV lamp, on cue, and reflected through a half mirrored glass, in front of the screen. As for the lack of the talking, you're right. It was only on a special board which was only found on the environmental version, and today, costs nearly as much a grand to get hold of one. I've had the pleasure of playing both Tron, and environmental (booth) Discs of Tron, back in the early 80s. Glad you were able to get the stick issue resolved. If I ever find one of these, I'll definitely pick up the GRS flight stick, and buy an encoder from A1up, if still available. Thanks for the video.

Hi Michael, I just ordered this cabinet from our local The Brick here in Newfoundland. Should be here in NL in 2 weeks. Not sure if I am making a mistake with this cabinet, as I noticed there seems to be issues with the stick and spinner. That’s the whole point of getting this cabinet for the arcade experience. How is yours holding up? This is my first Arcade 1up machine. I do own a real pinball machine - Stern Ironman

@slitherninja781 2 года назад

For me it is the best Arcade 1up looking cabinet to date. I want one but can’t see spending so much for one, I’m holding out for a sale.

Your best review yet MBTGG. Well done. and what do I think of this cabinet ... #TronGate .. end of line

@redadamearth 2 года назад

While I would LOVE to get this, I keep reading reviews about the joysticks on their "Tron" cabinet breaking almost immediately or very soon after a few games or the trigger not working, the game being glitchy, the cabinet stickers poorly applied, with air lines and bubbles, etc. - and it being incredibly hard to get any response for replacements from the company. So while I'm dying to get it, I'm worried about getting it and the thing breaking soon after. It's just review after review of people who end up just using it as furniture, because it can't be played.

@electricadventures 2 года назад

The games themselves are definitely an acquired taste and are not going to be everyones 'cup of tea'. Having the proper controls for these games are essential I think. This truly is a stunning looking cabinet. Unfortuneately, like Star Wars, doesn't look like it is going to make it to the land of Oz. The local distributor has recently listed the newer Pacman 12-in-1 legacy series, which is tempting, we shall have to see. I do like my original cabs, but maintaining them seems to beyond my time available at the moment, so I might let a couple go and replace with a couple of Arcade 1 UP cabs.

@80s_Gamr Год назад

Do yourself a favor (if you already haven't) and replace the trigger switch with something that isn't so hard to engage. I used a 20g micro switch. You can also add a collar to the base of the stick to improve durability.

@Baunzy68 2 года назад

It's probably the only Arcade 1Up reminds me of the 80's with it's look and sound. If you put this cabinet in an arcade back in the 80's people probably wouldn't even notice the difference other than the FREE GAME PLAY LOL

@curtwoot 2 года назад

Beautiful cabinet! But very poorly made. I’m on my second power cable, second spinner, and am constantly coddling the flight stick so as to not crack it like so many other owners have experienced.

@Phaota 2 года назад

Looks good and I'm happy to see that it also includes the great "Discs of TRON" game, but $700 is waaay to much. I can see $200 or $250 tops.

@petermacnab1871 2 года назад

$700 may be a bit steep but 200-250 ? Love how people make their own prices and determine the value of a cab randomly with no knowledge of the costs involved .

@Phaota 2 года назад

@@petermacnab1871 Considering that I have put two similar cabinets together at my work place for customers (the Pac-Man one), there is nothing involved in the construction that should be anything more than $250 since it is mostly an empty case. You are mainly paying for the thin screen and computer combination and the guns. Everything else is just flash. So yeah, $700 or more is WAY too expensive. The costs put into making this and all the other Arcade1UP cabs definitely do not add up to the prices asked for them.

@petermacnab1871 2 года назад

@@Phaota you might be right about the costs , but they must pay for labour , licensing , shipping , wifi , replacement of parts , research and development , customer service etc etc . And profit !!! My point is that you are just guessing what the price should be.

@Phaota 2 года назад

@@petermacnab1871 None of that adds up to $700. The vast majority of goods we buy today are greatly overpriced to that of what companies actually purchase them for and what goes into making them. I know the store where I work inflating prices a LOT on everything, including these game systems. Labour? The customer puts it together (or I do, if they pay for assembly). Shipping isn't part of the original price, that's an extra cost. Wifi? These don't have that. They are stand alone. Replacement parts? The only costly items in the whole design are the computer/screen and control board. Customer service isn't part of the price. Again, there isn't any reason for a small gaming cabinet like this too exceed $300.

@petermacnab1871 2 года назад
