I swapped out the sticks in my KI A1U cab last night. MASSIVE difference. Go some Sanwa JLFs.

This has been a good gaming month for me...

I won the Tropical Angel challenge and broke the world record(217,295) w/ my score of 267,766. I did it on the iiRcade.

I won the build an arcade stick fight challenge ($100 & Arcade1up countercade)

Last night in the Marvel vs Capcom ratio tournament i won and had the option of getting Marvel vs Capcom cab or Big Blue, since i already have two Big Blues i went w/ the Marvel v Capcom.

*edit*
The countercade i chose was Dig Dug.

Nice! I saw you on PYQTG a couple of weeks ago!

Which countercade did you get? Thoughts? I know it sounds mental but I kind of want the Pong tabletop one :p

The tournaments they do are awesome but I never understood them only giving away Big Blue and MvC since the tournaments are for those games so people more than likely have both this cabs! They should let you pick whatever machine you want!

Anyway, congrats. I’ll try and check out some of the tournament replay on YouTube later.

i had the option for the MvC or the Big Blue. Maybe their thought was to get more people to play Big Blue, as most of the people in the MvC tournament dont enter the Big Blue tournaments. The other winner i think got to choose which cab they wanted.

You should have entered moe, they are free and a lot of fun. My bro birthday is coming up, so that fool is getting himself a MvC cab for his birthday.

Reminds me of my good old days entering tournaments, winning prizes and a couple of pinball machines and the like. Course I had to go to the different arcades and play mano-a-mano and it was over 40 years ago when I did it. Guess the more things change, the more things stay the same :)

So I guess there was a “leak” and we now have a list of A1Up games coming out this year. Most notable are:

Marvel vs Capcom 2
NFL Blitz
Time Crisis

Nothing here is that exciting to me. I’d rather have Smash TV and Afterburner...which we still may get because they release like 20 machines in a year.


EDIT: also Xl versions of NBA Jam and Golden Tee, which I guess means they are not 3/4 scale.

Don’t care for those either...

I'm dumb and poor and shit but I rather own a Blast-Astro-New Net city Cabinets than these shitty 1up cabs Even I though I don't the $ for these aswell. Plus I don't have the space to have any of them aswell.

Looks good.Is everything 1up?
The price never dropped on these in my area...it appears they were popular right out of the gate because inventory changes up Everytime I get the opportunity to take a look...
Oh well....might be for the best as I have too much clutter as it is...

Thanks. Well the pinball, T2, SF2 and Tmnt are Arcade1Up but the Outrun actually a gt omega seat with a Logitech wheel and pc. I got that on the recommendation of none other than Mr @HDRchampion and it was a good buy.

I am using a big box front end with mame, model 2, model 3, demul and teknoparrot so a good selection of racers and it automatically boots to a nice game selection interface when you turn it on...kids can just navigate the menus with the wheel so nice and easy for them.

I'm a very big fan of Moe waiting for Robert Patrick to appear on the screen for the picture.

So iconic!

I have more pics including TMNT the level 1 boss fight with Rocksteady. One of the most memorable stages from my youth!

thanks but nope. just given that space I could probably fit 2, maybe 3 more so I have to be selective. I would want Afterburner and Smash TV which will probably come out eventually.
