We called our everyday for two weeks, but they told us the day they expected them and it was pretty cost. We are between two Costcos and one was about 4-5 sooner than the other for some reason - Thank you for your comment!
Yes, it was an amazing gameroom before, I showed some photos, but I was always buying, restoring and selling arcade/pinball machines, But now I'm old Arcade 1Up are so much easy to deal with, move, etc. I didn't have a Golden Tee or Midway cabinet, so this was perfect for us. We need some wall art soon though, I'm thinking about a video on that topic soon., Thank you for your comment!
OMG, we are going to buy any and all XL machines in the future, now I am sad we didn't get the Pac-Man XL last year from Costco - Thank you for your comment!
Oh too bad it didn't have Galaga in it! Of course it's in a few other machine, but still!! SO far this has been really fun to play! Thank you for your comment!
Great review and video... As said before, this isn't for me, but I hope it sells well so the community can get newer titles from arcade1up, especially in the XL and partycade format..
You make a great point, as there are plenty of haters for this, but if we keep support Arcade 1Up, hopefully they will make more XL, A Star Wars XL would be a big hit. I don't know if Costco can see that or not. I don't think we got any NEW titles in 2024 did we? Thank you for the comment!
Interesting twist to see you go from vintage machine to Arcade1up. Usually folks migrate the other way, but your reasons make sense. Enjoy and have fun!
Nope, been there done that of over 15 years. Now that my older and my back is terrible I have no regrets. I mostly repairs and restores the full size arcade and pinball machine. But I just have keep moving 300-400lb machines around anymore, I have carts, hand trucks, etc that I used to move them around in my younger days. Now, moving around a 100lb Arcade1up makes me alot happiers. Thank you for your comment!
Damn you are good at Sinistar especially with an 8 way stick. Cool machine! I was hoping Arcade1up would rerelease the defender Partycade but doesn’t look like it will happen.
I heard other people complain about the 8 way for Sinistar and had to look up what is used in 1983, and from what I found it was a 48 way stick! I never knew. Thank you for your comment!
I stand corrected on Wizard of Wor. "The Arena" is only stage 4. The Worlord Dungeon on stage 8 is where the mazes get really hard with lots of open spaces and hardly anywhere to hide. Just played my Midway Legacy cabinet. Never made it to "The Pit". (Just an open playfield)
@@domeshtan1677 - Oh, I can't remember the last time I made it that far, I played this a TON on my Commodore 64 on a cartridge. Maybe I will make a video someday of hiding/sniper spots on the first levels? Could be a fun video. Sure it doesn't always work, but that by strategy - LOL
@@Johnenoch226 I buy and sell a ton of C64 disk and cartridge, I've tested many Archon floppy disk, but never really played it, is its just like Chess?
I think I'm gonna hold off on the atgames 4kp until I see how the native vpx loader turns out on there. Leaning more towards building a custom vpin instead anyways.
Same, I have been hold off buy it also. I have a few spare PCs that I could try the OTG options, but I'm not in a big hurry right now - Thank you for your comment!
i just bought one at costco the other day and i just got done assembling it and when i went to put the knobs on the joy sticks i noticed that the left joystick threaded part is smaller in diameter than the right joystick and both of the knobs are to big to thread on to the left joystick but both thread onto the right joystick no problem. are the joystick threads the same diameter on your machine?
What the heck? I had the SAME EXACT issue and forgot about it until your comment. I think the Left on is off a bit, I got it on finally, I used Pliers and wrapped the metal stick with a cloth to not scratch it and then thread the top on. Thank you for your comment!
Hey man get atgames pinball 4k. It's been fantastic and they are fixing lag this month. Hoping they get elvira on it. Your video has me wanting the cosco golden t. Looked at it today and the Controls felt solid and Trac ball seamed quality. I might by it. Thanks for the video and get the adams family 4k pinball if you like pinball. I got all the tables and m8ght get another pinball machine down the road if they get elvira. Thanks
OOK, we are definitely getting the 4K pinball now. I heard on Reddit there is a sale later this month, so I will wait and see if they discount the Deluxe Addams Family one. Thank you for your comment!
Yes, I know that, if you rewatch the video you see I said we had an actually Capcom Bowling arcade machine in our arcade, so I do know what a Capcom Bowling arcade machine is. I do think the Capcom Bowling is alot more fun than this bowling though - Thank you for the comment!
We have bought and sold so many pinball machines over the years, one thing is you own any pinball machine you have to learn how to repair them. Something always needs repaired in them. Hope you have a great weekend also!
If you're OK with flipper Lag on the 4k then go ahead with it but I don't think it can be fixed. Maybe hook a PC up to it... You could always make your own or gut a Arcade1up like CoolToy did
RIGHT! If it could be fixed, wouldn't Atgames already fix it? Will it need a hardware fix? I have a few spare PCs here I could go that route also, I need to watch a few videos on how do it. Thank you for your comment!
Everyone harps on the flipper lag issue but I’ve never experienced it once on my 4KP. I thoroughly enjoy all the tables. The sound on some of the zen tables need some tweaking but that’s about it
@@Thafrenchconnect Hmmm, that's very encouraging, I mean is it better or worse then the Arcade 1Up Attack from Mars lag? I've gotten used to that and don't even notice it now.
@@StevesRetroGaming The problem remains that you need to leverage the potato SBC for input encoding and the interface to the displays/audio... which was a purposeful design choice by Atgames to force you through their ecosystem in some way even when you are using an external PC. If they'd gone with a stand alone USB encoder board along with direct connectivity to the audio/haptics and displays this would be a far more interesting cabinet for modding... the way it's designed simply locks you into using the garbage hardware that is at the center of an otherwise interesting vPinball table. If they'd left the design open to simpler modification and community support they could have a runaway hit, but their closed ecosystem and arrogance more or less killed the potential this product has. For a 32" cab simply gutting an A1Up model that had it's PCB die is probably a better solution since you're basically just keeping the table w/ legs, backbox with the DMD + speakers.
OMG - Defender control lay out is RIDICULOUS!! I could make a video just on that. I did show Defender gameplay in the Extended cut video. OK, I have never been good at Defender since I first played it in 1981. OK back to the lay out. If used BOTH joysticks and bottoms on both sides of the joystick. I'm going to go take a photo and post it on the community tab here in a few minute. Thank you for the comment.
$500 for Peg Board and about $20 worth of electronics. This is junk. This is Embarrassing that the Chinese build theese & get $500 plus for this , it's not worth more than $89.99. If you want to feel nostagic watch Johhny Carson.
Seems like it took forever for them to get here in WA State, as I said int he video we called Costco daily and the employee were always nice and pretty much tracked them for us to their warehouse and then store. Thank you for your comment!
RIGHT! I made a post about this on one of the Arcade1Up Facebook groups and shared a screen shot, it's pretty messed up, but about about 30 minutes of test, I started to get used to the CRAZY and WEIRD Defender layout - Thank you for your comment!
@@StevesRetroGaming It's a shame it didn't have 6 buttons because this would be a nice mod cabinet. Just rip out player 2 stick and put in a spinner. But I know A1Up does that purposefully.
@@greyshadow9498 Well I just you could get out the drill? I just added a few buttons to a Space Invaders cabinet, but that was to put in a 60 in 1 kit in it. How about the Arcade 1Up Big Blue cabinet, it has 6 buttons on each side already?
@@StevesRetroGaming I was actually looking at Big Blue. What it boils down to, at least for me, is ease of conversion. Stick, six buttons, trackball and spinner. I have seen some custom decks, which might be the way to go. Unfortunately, apartment life has made me lazy, and not very "handy" where doing my own custom work is concerned.
@@greyshadow9498 Is see, The Big Blue is an easy cabinet to softmod, I imagine you already know that. I don't own one, someone near me has one for $250, I'm still thinking about it.
