- One of the most iconic 4 player Arcade1up cabs Golden Axe the last remaining Sega title is still available at $449. So I finally picked one up from Target before they’re gone for good. Here’s my unboxing and review for dare I say the best 4 player Arcade1up!

They need to be able to 're map the controller to whichever player side u want. So if u wanna play with a friend, use P1 and P4 so u have some extra space between u and not in the middle two.
They just made it without testing it on 2 wrestlers 😂🤣
lol they had to have, why put us so close to each other :) it’s the only thing I could complain about this cab is one of a kind! Thanks for watching 👊
@@PDX7I’ve got golden axe had to get in imported to the U.K. , I’m covering the whole riser with black vinyl to make it look more arcade accurate and of course a coin door
@fruitman7773 that’s really cool and a great idea will look like a deluxe!
@@PDX7 also you want to get some 12mm pvc tape in red and then line it up with the red trim on the top cabinet and then make the red pvc tape flow to the floor so it all looks like 1 piece , I also turn my risers round the other way because I don’t like those ridges at the front I do this with all my cabinets now and done it with T2 as well and street fighter legacy and I’ve covered the front of my ridge racer riser in black as that’s what the original arcade machine would of looked like
Thank you I can see how that makes it blend in better 👊 That’s a really good idea :)
Man, I remember playing the heck out of golden axe and altered beast down at the liquor store in my early teens. Great cabinet but unfortunately I don’t have room for it. Glad you were able to pick it up!and I surprised they put even that small logo on the corner, Sega doesn’t let anyone use their logo for anything, wow lol
Great games Scuba 1, one of their better cabs. It’s a bummer not having more Sega images on it, been looking for a few options to add to it. The 4 players take up so much room, they’re great to have if there’s a spot for it :)
Not only is @PD7 a wizard at Walk&Talks but he's also a wizard at putting a cabinet together...took him all of 30 seconds! Beautiful looking cab and I'm happy for you that you finally got it.
That’s why I didn’t want to live stream the build lol Thanks Stokjock :)
Got this Cab when it first came out …$399 still a purchase I am happy 😊about. Great cabinet
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing 👊 it’s a special cab and hopefully we both will enjoy this for years to come! Thanks for watching
It's a beautiful cab PD7. Nice to finally see it all together. Heading out today on a road trip to pick up TRON. I'll let you know how it goes.
Good luck!
@@tedadamgreen thanks!
Great Pickup Thumper Squid! Ted Adam do you have GA?
@@PDX7 I don’t but Tron is my next one … 2025!
@tedadamgreen Awesome!
Four player games should contain 4 players games, period
I agree, it’s confusing I wish they gave us a few more 4 player games.
I have this cab put a kinhank 4x pro in it 100thousand games
@danteanderson9052 nice! I can see why with no online why not :)
I think the Golden Axe was one of the best cabs made by A1UP. The game list is just so solid.
I agree, it’s a must have. I just ordered a new slip on marquee for it.
Glad you were able to find one. I'm also looking into this cab. Was holding off, in hopes they would've given this title the facelift they did with X-men, and Turtles in Time. Thanks for the video.
We may never get an updated GA, but it is possible this will drop lower 449. Keep your eye on it, if it’s 399 or less it’s a sign :)
I have this cab. One of my favorites!! Love Shinobi!! You do an awesome job with this channel!
Thank you Gordon Black 👊 I really appreciate it my friend:)
I love this cab. Had they swapped out Wrestle War for one that matched the style and screen orientation of every other title in the compilation, I'd have appreciated Alien Storm instead
Yes Alien Storm would’ve been the perfect game to add it’s too bad they didn’t give us this.
Man, Golden Axe was a childhood favorite. I used to go to an indoor public pool in Idaho when I was about 8 years old and they had a Golden Axe cab over by the concessions area. I don’t know how many quarters I spent, but those were some good memories. I really want a Golden Axe cab but I just can’t pull the trigger on a $449 price. I’m still recovering from buying Time Crisis. I’ve been looking for a pre-owned cab but they’re hard to come by. Awesome buy, Phil!
Keep watching Scott maybe 300 or less will pop up. I think we’re all recovering from TC :) Thanks Scott! The memories you have for GA is what it’s all about 👊
Golden Axe was my 3rd Arcade1up cab that I bought when I started collecting them. I still have it and Turtles In Time.
Awesome! Maybe we can play online tomorrow night 🐢
I remember when I 1st got the Sega genesis Altered Beast came with it. I remember going to toys r us and playing the demo unit.
I remember:) man that was awesome!
Golden Axe Revenge Of Death Adder is one of the best A1UPs available. To me, it has everything you want in one of these cabs, 5 very diverse games, beautiful cabinet artwork, and the overall aesthetic design is very pleasing involving the color scheme. This one was a good value IMHO, and a must-have for home arcade.
Yes, I absolutely agree CobrettiKai! Perfectly stated 👊
Thanks for the detailed review!!
Thank you for watching Sanger 👊
It’s so cool to see you so excited. I know just how you feel.😊
:) I got really excited checking this out and building it last night. It’s a special one Tim!
Hey Phil, love Golden Axe the look of it and the line up of games. Altered beast for me is a classic like you said I remember it more on the sega console than the arcade. Even with the riser the cab looks gorgeous to me. 👊🏼
It’s one of the their best! Total nostalgia for us with Altered Beast! Dude Thank you for jumping online 👊
@@PDX7 👊🏼of course Phil!! I wasn’t expecting anyone on Turtles at this time. Saw PDX7, i said oh yeah time to kick some shell like in the arcade like back in the day. Are you streaming game play tonight?
@juliohernandez3668 yes 8pm central 🐢👊
The retro530 marquees are beautiful for these cabs. I have both and they’re well worth the money. I prefer the 530 marquees to szabos.
Thank you for the reminder :) I always go straight to Szabo’s, need to check out Retro530 👊
Congrats on Golden Axe, Phil! I want to get it but that 4 player wide deck there is no room to put it in my game room sadly but it really takes me back to getting the Sega Genesis with Altered Beast and Shinobi and Golden Axe. Loved those games. I have them on my Sega Mini.
With all of those Action Figures the mini is definitely space saving :) Thank you Dave, I know the 4 players take up a ton of room we could double the cabs if they were 2 player. I love Altered Beast!
It was my first cab . I sold it about a year later because friends popping by became rare sadly. After Covid I sold tmnt, nba jam and golden axe . I really only miss Shinobi tbh
As crazy as it sounds some of us have bought these cabs more than once :) 2 x for turtles :) Do you have either on a multicade?
@@PDX7 I think most of them on a Pandora’s box but no death adder.
@stillMeNZa maybe you’ll stumble across one at a steal you can’t pass up, I’ll get some game play on this soon.
We just started with our first cab (simpsons). Totally agree about buying some old stock before it’s gone, it totally affects the secondary market as well. We scored ours for 350 NIB. Once the new stock is gone secondary market prices go up.
Great unboxing situations 👍💯
Not a bad price for Simpsons, we’re going to have to play online together soon :)
Congrats on the pick up PhilO, you are buying alot of stuff! I am setting up my Gaming PC with the ALP 4Kp tonight, wish me luck. Angel thinks you have plenty of places for her to sleep, esp the pinball for the heat!
Hi CarlO and Angel :) good luck! I’m just finishing up my wish list and then getting ready for new releases! Have a great weekend 🐈⬛😺
I could never get rid of my Golden Axe cab unless we somehow get another Sega cab in the future with online. I love the games on it, especially Death Adder. The lack of online play is unfortunate since this was released after NBA Jam, their first online cab.
I was shocked when I found that out too, I was thinking last night that this is good enough for me I don’t need a deluxe they did a great job with this cab. I think it’s an instant buy :) besides the online it’s one of the best!
Great video as ever, lots of crucial details covered. Can’t get this one in the UK sadly. Making do with an Astro City Mini and its arcade stick. Not quite the same thing though…
Thank you Anthony, I hope you somehow are able to find one someday 🤞
I love the selection, but Wrestle War should have been Alien Storm. Not only does it fit better with the side-scrollers presented here, it uses the same aspect ratio
Yes I agree, I keep forgetting about Alien Storm it would’ve been the best 4 player cab. Thanks for watching!
Always wanted that one. Sega had some good coin-ups.
Yes they did, if this drops any lower under 399 you might want to think about it :)
The height difference shouldn’t be too surprising, as one is emulating a sega cabinet and the other is emulating a Konami cabinet.
I was still surprised they were different, not by much but I can really notice it on the control decks side by side. Thanks for watching 👊
Awesome 💯
👊
Having a riser isn't a bad thing.
I prefer the riser myself. I have the Street Fighter Deluxe and it doesn’t feel as stable as my others
Not at all :)
The deluxe do rock a little bit
If you feel comfortable with it you can probably just move the control plugs for players on the control board, then player one would be on the left outside and player 2 on the right outside
That’s a great idea :) Thank you 👊
I so want both of these cabs! I just don't have the space for it rn. It would be nice if they get cheaper without selling out of course 😅
Maybe Golden Axe drops lower and Turtles comes back as a deluxe :)
Great cab!! Love that one. Hope you enjoy!!
It was worth the wait :) Thank you 👊
Online or no online play, still a fan of this cab & proud owner of one. I got the Slip on Marquee from Szabo’s that I have to put on it. Definitely enjoyable, all the games on it.
I’m going to get a marquee too :) definitely needs it! I agree Doug it’s a solid cab 👊
Gonna add mine this week. From your videos and someone else’s I saw, the Szabo’s slip on ones are amazing quality.
@GenZod80 if you decide to go with Szabo’s use PD710 at checkout for 10% off
@@PDX7I will definitely save that for the next time. Ty very much my friend. Much appreciated
@GenZod80 you’ll love the marquee, I’m ordering mine this week too :)
Best 1up Cab 👍
It’s Great! Thanks for watching 👊
Definitely love the side art on this cab just not my game, great breake down, you almost sell me
:) I’m laying it all out there lol
Beautiful cabinet, I just don't have the room now for a 4 player cabinet. I am Afraid that when I might have room available that this cabinet won't be available anymore. Might pick it up and just keep it boxed. Sega arcade games are my all time favorite. I love my arcade1up Outrun and will never sell it. I would bike to the Southridge mall in Greendale after school to play Sega arcades in Aladdin's Castle.
Man I wish we still had Aladdin’s :) oh I know the fear of it sells out, if it’s meant to be it will be there when you’re ready. I have a feeling 399 is coming
Will buy no matter my situation at 399 if I can find it in time. I always seem to miss out especially on the flash sales.
@stevekoeckritz7611 if I see it before you I’ll let you know 👊
Great review Phil! Maybe there is a hack for mapping the controls? 💥💥👊💥💥 #NostalgiaPower
We need Bobby to do it :) Thanks Zod 💥💥👊 #nostalgiapower
One of the only two arcade1ups I never wanted. This and final fight
It’s really grown on me the last year in a half and I sold myself on Sega nostalgia:) I agree with Final Fight :) Thanks for watching J Phillips 👊
Nice one Phil, it’s a classic line up. What a great selection of sega games. With the BOE monitor too. I’d love for golden axe to be an XL version, we can hope. Please arcade one up do a Sega XL! (And release them in the UK too) !
If they released this version near you would you buy?
@@PDX7 certainly would. Golden axe is one of my favourite arcade games. And shinobi
@markspencer9165 it’s really cool Mark :) as much as deluxe and XL are wanted I’m ok with this cab. I hope you can get one eventually, it’s a special cab!
What screen resolution is that and does it use screen filters to smooth the graphics?
It’s a 4x3 but when Wrestle War is selected it makes it a vertical look.
@@PDX7 sorry I meant what is the graphics screen resolution when the games are running, not the aspect of the monitor. On LCD displays these old games look blocky without filters, so I was wondering what the image looks like. I noticed a scan line filtering option in the menu, but didnt see anything like bilinear filtering, for example.
@terryfisher4688 I’ll have to check, I’ll let you know what other filters are
And just swap the wires out if you want more space for two people on the 2 player games.
Thank you for the advice 👊
I would love to get this PCB and put it into the new HS5 cab. Just not sure how that extra stick would look (menu selector)
Yea that works be tricky to figure out, but it’s gotta be possible.
i love this cab despite being a bit dated compared to the newer ones
I do too :) it’s a great cab for being 4 years old.
I want that one just for Shinobi
I totally get it :) it’s a great game!
Making it real hard for me to not pull the trigger on this, Phil. lol.
Smokey maybe it’s time :)
@@PDX7 Thinking so. the fact Arcade1Up hasn't given us any sega cabs besides this one, doesn't leave me much hope for a deluxe or any other Sega IP....Might be picking this up sooner than later.
@smokeyarcade maybe this drops to 399 really soon…thats when you know its time :)
Can you physically rewire so the two players are the outboard controls?
Great review and congrats!
They plug into an encoder board so I see no reason why you couldn't unplug pl4 and pl2 at the encoder to swap positions, I wouldn't think it would mess up any programming, just my opinion I am no master
@vader86davedestephanis good call Dave that would probably work 👊
🙂 looks so awsome the Orange and black Death adaer artwork
glad u got it if i had the space for 4 player cabs i would so get
glad u pick it up its a realy old cab now and i feel arcade1up wont make anymore of it and when its gone like u say its gone
shaq jam and golden tee may also be ggoing away soon they been around for a long time wount be suprisded if all site say out of stock
Good morning Prince Vinny, I was thinking about GA in a deluxe or XL last night when I was doing the video and it’s perfect the way it is. I think if people want it they should buy it before it sells out and mod it if they don’t want the riser. How’s your Shaq jam coming along?
@@PDX7 Graphic design delay he couldn’t make the trip with the cab but I did manage to get a shaq jam locally for 350 I pick up he said he would send me a different skin in the mail for this and he would skin the one with him in the shop also slightly money 💰 issues marking a 4 player deck with button is costly but not giveing up hope I know it will be be done
@princevinny0073 350 is a great price! It will all work out the wait will be worth it :)
@@PDX7 :D yah it sure will
@@PDX7 did bestbuy get the 315 cab for you the turteles ?
RoDA is the best thing arcade1up has ever done imo. Emulation for that game on pis etc are always messed up. Sega for some dumb reason left it for dead. Great cab. Except for the weird layout on menu and 4p deck for 1 game. I needed more Sega for 3 years and still nothing. Definitely get some Sega logos and the forever to wait marquee. Wish it had Alien Storm instead of Wrestle War but it's a solid 9 cab. Can't help but mention online is useless. I'm sure you've found zero to play with on TMNT. Active for a few months after release then almost always dead.
Hey Bones, I agree man it needs more Sega logos :) going to put in an order for both marquees next week. Unfortunately I haven’t found anyone online yet, I have to reconnect every time I power on I also bought a Ethernet cable just to be safe it’s pretty close to router. I’m going to try a stream tomorrow night in Turtles and see who jumps on. Have a great day man 👊
I finally scored one brand new in the box for $250. Now debating whether I should keep it or flip it Lol 🤔
$250!!!! What a deal, keep it :)
@@PDX7I just couldn't pass it up. I'm so tempted to flip it because it's not TMNT
@Jrm0724 if you flip it you could get another $100-150 to put towards a TMNT
Still waiting this in Europe,maybe a Deluxe 🤞
Keep waited, you never see this cab in overseas store!
I hope you can find one Luke! They should really ship worldwide, Thanks for watching Arcade Luke & GCA 👊
Still pretty hidden sega😅
lol very hidden :)
Surprised to see u going back in time and grabbing a cab with a riser and no online but i get it. I feel like this won't ever be remade by 1up so if u want it this is your only choice sadly.
That’s exactly why I bought it Paagshim :) I’d be open to Dragons Lair and Tron if the situation was right. I do have a few SF2’s I can make a spot for :)
Golden Axe will probably be a collectible in the future.
@CobrettiKai it was hard to open the box lol
@@PDX7 yea replace some of those sf dupes man!
I will :)
you lucky americans. can't get this in Australia.
These should be available everywhere, I’ll never understand why people up here complain about these they should be happy they could actually have one. Thanks for watching!
Mine was fine for the first couple of weeks…Now it crashes constantly…WTF?!?
I’m sorry to hear, did you open a ticket with A1up?
@@PDX7 I’ve not just yet. I don’t understand why it’s happening to be honest. I posted this to see if others have also had this happen. I’ll open up a ticket but I expect horse shit in return.
@hotshotslayer probably lol but it’s worth a shot
@@PDX7 Definitely true. I expect better for the price point.
@hotshotslayer I agree, I do too, it’s a bummer man. Does it let you play through after it happens once?
No 4 players online 😂 should have had CPU controlling P2, P3, P4 if no friends or online 😆😉😊
I agreed it would be fun to have all 4 players with you, I’ll probably never get 4 people on here at once. Wish there was a way to get online.
