UPDATE: Just played through to level 30 on Gauntlet and I can now confirm that the game does break at that point.
Here is footage I recorded of it happening: twitter.com/RerezTV/status/1057403038124584960
I talked about the ROM being modified in the video and this seems to be what must have broke the game. Gauntlet has 100 levels but it would appear that you won't be able to get passed 30 if you play.
That's regretful. The 1 arcade machine I want is the Rampage one, but not if it breaks at level 30 for Gauntlet. $299 for 2/3 working games is a bit steep.
If you call them they will send you a free replacement control bored to fix gaulet
UPDATE :
Hey @Rerez, just wanted to let you know the Gauntlet 'fixed' PCB still isn't working:
On November 24, 2018, Username : 128kgames, reported this on atariage forums:
Posted Sat Nov 24, 2018 9:39 PM
Gauntlet NOT fixed:
Installed the replacement Rampage cab PCB that is supposed to fix the level 16/31 and various sound issues. While I can confirm they fixed the level issue (I played to level 33 - my cab froze on level 16) and the sound issue for the Warrior and the Valkyrie, they have also BROKEN the sound for the Elf and the Wizard in the exact same way the Warrior and Valkyrie sound was broken on the original PCB (no sounds for insert coin, picking up treasure or food, no sound on exiting the dungeon).
So while a major issue was fixed, they simply shifted an annoying issue to another set of characters.
I would appreciate it if anyone else with the Rampage cab who has replaced the PCB can confirm the same sound issues so I know its not just me.
If 1Up has in fact fixed one issue and caused another, I have to seriously question whoever the hell they have play testing these "fixes" and seriously volunteer to do it for them.

Ok. I just finished checking out the set of problems you listed for Gauntlet. Sadly the information is correct.It is now a mixed bag in the sound department. The elf has the worst sound of all the characters. The elf has no exit music nor food or keys. Player 2 has no insert coin sound as well. The warrior and the Valkyrie sound better,but they both have no sound for food or treasure pick up. The wizard has no sound for food or treasure. These new problems are getting to be a bit much. I still really like my cabinets and all,but arcade1up really needs to get things right. The game runs alot smoother and the sound is better than before. I guess I don't know what else to say about it. It's almost like the sound was perfect when I first installed and played the new game board.

I've always wanted a rampage arcade. Of any arcade machines that would be my pick. Maybe it's nostalgia goggles.
Of course it is, nothing wrong with that. I want them to release a TMNT cab. But Rampage is also very nostalgic for me. Great, if simple game. Street Fighter 2 is also great.
Oh you two let this god company of nostalgia make you cry of happiness
I remember seeing this in an ad. So wonderful. Good job!
This is the most accurate description of the Defender issue I’ve heard so far. Great review!
Thank you!
I always wondered what those big bird like things were in Joust, you have cleared this mystery for me!!
I like your honest review(s). You mention the good and less good facts objectively, after proper research. That makes it a useful and pleasant video to watch. Good job!
Very good and fun review of the arcade1up, they are hard to get here in my country.
High Score not saving is a big problem for some people, good point.
Your channel rules my dude.
Not only a fun arcade, but a fun time looking at it! The art.
Thanks for the detailed review.
I really like the Rampage Arcade game. This is Awesome!
Just got mine and your pretty much spot on with this review!
Thank you for being the first reviewer to point out that the original Defender had a very similar layout to the awkward one on Arcade 1up version.
You grew up playing these games? Wow. You hold your age well. I'm 58 and was playing Defender in 1981, my senior year in high school. Great review! I just bought one of these off CL for my game room for Defender and Joust. I'm a little dismayed over the button mapping for Defender but I'm sure I'll get over it...grin....now if they would just release a Robotron cab...that would complete my home arcade.
The original Rampage Cabinet weighed about 10,000 pounds and was a pain in the ass to move. And like you said, it was weird and looked weird with the original 19 inch monitor. thanks for the video
2,000 pounds is a ton
The Arcade1up Rampage arcade cabinet was the first arcade cabinet I purchased over 4 years ago. I now own 16 arcade cabinets, including two full-size arcade cabinets, all in brand new condition 😎🤘
This looks awesome!
Glad somebody got their Rampage. Still waiting on my pre-order from Walmart
I have this cabinet myself. In terms of game play, Gauntlet is the only one with issues. Mine crashed at level 16. I know the defender controls are off, but they aren't too bad once you get used to them.
I think its really cool they are making these available
Excellent and very helpful review.
We want this one. Awesome
I love how thorough a job you did with this review. Excellent work.
Gauntlet...AWESOME!!
Good luck trying to get one!
Defender is my favorite game on that cabinet, I usually spend 15 to 30min each day on Defender. I play the other three games only in parties. But visitors also love Defender
Not saving high scores on an arcade cabinet is blasphemy
Who cares, just keep track of it yourself.
Most real arcade games didn't keep the score when you uplugged them anways.

@@negative1723 This is 2018. Surely highscores can be saved...
@@br0neh Yes, they can be saved. But then they would have to modify the roms, which they did for some games. But its not always that easy.
of course it would cost the company and then they would have to do more testing, etc.
these guys cut corners on everything, so yeah, it's not going to happen.

WRONG. No Rom modding needed. The cab is running Mame, which fully supports high score saving with the simple addition of a dat file. I appreciate your IT-Crowd user name, I bemoan your lack of knowledge.
@@andy6576 Nice try. 2 months later you find out MAME is in there, and you're still wrong.
Unless the script they used supports the high score save, it won't work.
Go do your homework, the next time you try to comment about something you don't understand.
The restricted MAME they are using didn't account for highscores, and basically they are reverting to a savestate when the user goes back to the menu for some games.
Otherwise, they just revert to a previous state without saving the high score.
I wish people like you could understand what MAME is, and how it actually works,
without all you guesswork, and haphazard logic.
Most original games couldn't write the highscores to be saved, which is why they
weren't saved when unplugged in the original games, hence high score save game kits now.

Did you get the machine with the corrected Gauntlet rom? Most folks found out they could not continue laying after level 30.
You can always get a dry erase board hang it behind the cab and use that to save your top 3 scrore that's what I did
Same
Rampage is my favorite arcade game as a kid.
JOUST! Aka "astro chicken" the in game mini arcade cabinet, mini game from Sierra's Space quest III. EXCEPT Astro Chicken was awesome!
Never use a glass cleaner to clean your screen, unless you like white spots appearing on your screen.
Seeing that really annoyed me. Rerez, I hope you don’t use that with your LCD/LED panels all the time. You will ruin your screens using Windex!
Uhh... he used glass cleaner to clean the glass overlay.
@@ekoms108 No - he took the overlay off and cleaned the actual LCD screen which HAS no plastic overlay on it by itself.
@Mapenis Grips I did that once and it ruined the screen. It didn't make things unwatchable but it definitely didn't help.
Even my close to 70 yr old father knows better.
Every Rerez video but every time Shane says "A Bunch", it gets faster
"And stuff like that"
Other videos I've seen on these, the people reviewing them just crap all over it because it isn't exactly like the original arcade experience and the sticks aren't the highest quality. My thought is, if you want that experience, you have to find an original cabinet. For the price, I really think this is pretty solid and I appreciate your honest review. Long live Rerez!
I completely agree with this. It's not an exact arcade experience but for the price its damn near close enough. I sure want this Rampage one. That's one of my favorite arcade games and I'd buy it for that alone. Defender I used to play on an old Commodore 64 computer.
I saw this in a Wal-Mart, it was great!
I keep going back and forth on this. I want Street Fighter and Rampage...and then I find something I don't like and just like that I'm back to a wait and see mode. My biggest gripe is that none of these machines will allow you to change the dip switches (from numerous sources). That's a very big downer for me; However, I am a tinkerer (if it exists, I will find a way...I will solder a board if I have too) and after seeing this video, I am planning on buying two of these beautiful cabinets tomorrow or the next day. I am also a little troubled that some people are reporting crashes and game breaking glitches in Gauntlet. These glitches supposedly appear in or just after stage 30 of the game.
At any rate thank you for giving an honest review on these machines. My fiance and I are huge gamers that are currently building a home arcade as I type this and these machines/risers match exactly what I am going for. I plan to set these up next to an MVS cab and an AES machine for a true arcade feel. We even have a sweet Bose sound system running through the room and lights (neon, lasers, and crystal ball) for that 1980's-1990's arcade vibe.
If WB bought them...Joust, Defender and Gauntlet movie! COME ON!!!
Warner Bros did buy them in 2009. Where have you been. They also own Atari Games which was the arcade unit of Atari that was split off when they originally sold Atari in 1984. So essentially, Warner Bros owns 1/2 of Atari again just like the old days.
I remember playing Gauntlet Legends on Nintendo 64. I remember playing Rampage arcade game and Rampage on the Nintendo systems.
I really wish MyArcade would put out a tabletop version of Rampage. Considering that they have a perfectly accurate Street Fighter one that is just like the big one, then there is no reason for not putting out a Rampage unit. I'd love to have one of those and not spend hundreds of dollars on something like this. As for the "Defender" joystick issue, I'm surprised the makers of the cabinet did not have the two controller just switch to being off during that gameplay.
I wish arcade cabinets would make a real return in pubs and stuff
Midway got ahold of Atari's catalog because Midway was merged with the arcade half of Atari in the mid 90s.
I feel like what they should've done was another two-in-one like they have for galaga/galaxian but with defender and stargate on it. at least then you could replicate the control scheme without having to have other joysticks in its way. but multiplayer rampage games or gauntlet dungeon crawls do seem like a fun time on this machine!
I plan on getting this exclusively to add my own PC for a fuller arcade experience.
You forgot to mention the added complexity that the Player 3 joystick adds while trying to hit the center buttons while playing Defender. It definitely throws a wrench into the "swipe your hand across the control layout to hit Hyperspace" strategy... At least that's what I used to do on the original arcade machine.
That being said, I think that Arcade 1up could have capitalized a bit by offering alternate control panels separately with layouts that reproduce specific games. In this case, given that it appears to be fastened from the top, an optional Defender control panel would have worked wonders... On the other hand, I don't know how many people would put up with having to store an extra control panel somewhere while it's not being used.
That dodgy green paint on the front of the wrist rest is really annoying me
Is that meant to be intentional like it represents goo/drool or is it a crap paint job?
@@cmelft2463 it's just a crappy paint job. Mine is the same way and the paint is chipping off.
@@heyweeks Thanks for answering my question as I saw them in store the other day and was considering buying one, but after watching so many reviews it seems like they are pretty crap tbh as a lot of people are complaining of broken buttons/joysticks etc and now you have confirmed that there is no real attention to detail/quality control with the paint job etc.
I agree mam
My Galaga paint job lasted about 2 weeks. Only because when I received it the joystick was broke and we couldn’t play it. Otherwise the paint would have lasted about a week.
The thing is about mame is that if you want to do it, you can do it GOOD. The only benefit to 1up is that it's easy
Would have been better with gauntlet artwork
Or joust.
3 players and no glitches.
Its so cool
I've seen a couple reviews of different cabs, and they all seem to have some motion blur or ghosting or something going on. Like maybe the panel itself isn't so great, or is it possible that's just the camera and it's not noticeable in person?
Never forget - The Rampage monsters did 911.
1:28 I've seen display models which haven't been in operation long, but show drastic signs of wear on the controller area. Mainly the artwork being rubbed off completely where your palms would rest. My guess is that the art is screen printed but not sealed. Luckily there's plenty of aftermarket options for these repairs.
I've heard on some arcade 1up machines that after level 30 gauntlet also locks up and the screen scrolls aimlessly with white boxes. Now it makes sense! They probably edited the ROM based on your observations and screwed something up. Can you test this out Rerez?
itd be cool if they got a deal with sega and we got one with outrun and space harrier
Afterburner + Space Harrier + and other "floating shooter"
Wizard needs food
..oh..my youthness.. what a wanderfull times..❤️😞. .
They should make a mortal kombat arcade 1up machine
Just confirmed it's coming in March
You're in luck buddy!
Yes!
They are making one.
One coming soon
They should include overlay boards for the control graphics.
Mortal Kombat 1 2 & 3 cabinet would sell insanely well! I'd trade my SF2 one for that in a heartbeat
They have a mk2, ultimate mk3, mk4 unit in europe releasing around christmas. Cant wait for that to come here
Did you notice any missing sound effects? I just put my cab together last night and noticed there is no sound effect when exiting like their should be, and no sound effect when picking up food (and possibly other items).
What about the level 31-glitch on Gauntlet!? That's pathetic in and of itself.
Also, Arcade1Up will provide clear overlays for the control panels, because of widespread reports of paint scuffing. Feels like they rushed these games to make the holiday sales.
Wish they’d make a light gun cab and offer Area 51 and Carnevil
I have this machine too. That gauntlet issue is worse. It freezes at level 31.
show us where it happened to you in a video
Mine doesn't freeze at level 31, my character starts out stuck in the bottom left corner. I asked Arcade1UP (Via there support email) and haven't gotten any reply.
Im getting this mostly for Defender, as long as that plays well i can live with the wonky layout.
G E o O o O o O R G E ! ! !
Breakfast, lunch and dinner, I watch your channel....awesome channel,
Guess what. My dad just brought home and brand new one of these and rampage is my favorite game on there
I got this one the cabinet is too small for 3 player action but still awesome
So when will 1up be doing an mk1,2, and 3 version? If they could include the 4th mk I would be sold!
I'm thinking about buying this machine specifically for gauntlet. Rampage is a big plus and the other two games will just kinda be there for me. But if gauntlets having these issues I'm not gonna buy it. I heard you can get a new board or something like that for gauntlet? Can someone fill me in on that?
Defender is one of those games whose Atari 2600 release is more fun for me to play than the arcade. It's always been that way for me.
Why do you think that is? Nostalgia or something?
Left makes you go left and right makes you go right in the Atari 2600 version. (I think there's a reverse scheme where right makes you go left and vice versa) It has to, there's simply no more buttons to play Defender with. The only way they could have done this otherwise was to include a custom controller with the game, something nobody was willing to do at the time.
I got to agree. It’s one of the few times I’d say the Atari 2600 was better. Playing at the arcade was too damn awkward with the controls. Same can be said of Asteroids.
Thx!! Want to pick up a few looking at the specs (height) etc etc
Do they come with overlays to show what each button does for different games ?
Can you please do an episode on the Pacman machine?
I use to love Defender, but I only ever played it on the Atari 2600. I can't help but wonder if I would still like it if I played it with a complicated layout compared to using the joystick for all movement.
I wish they had Rampage World Tour 😭
PLEASE MAKE A PUNCH OUT CABINET
You mention that these seem to be the actual arcade roms. Do you know if the 1up Galaga machine also runs the actual arcade rom?
You’re the best
you got them but Walmart keeps pushing back there release date here in Canada lol
So they are WB arcade cabinets well that explains alot
7:28 Player 2, however, flies on a stork.
I have the Centipede and Galaga ones, and the roller ball on the Centipede isn't smooth too tight, no fun, anyone have a idea about to fix it?
A-1up gets considerable amount of complaints.Lets give credit were credit were credit is due.The game emulations give you that Arcade feel.The Look of the cabinets beautiful.Yeah I know the screw holes but with a sharpie pen and a little bit of patience problem solved.The plastic on the screen use an exact I knife on one upper corners of the screen slowly peel.The price yeah I know..But you're getting 10games remember buying cartridges in the 80s and consider you can buy a party cade for 250.00.Its a wonderful time to be a retro gamer peace to all and happy new year 😂
I really hope they make a smash t.v. cabinet
Thanks for the heads up. I have a stand up Joust and Rampage. I was going to get this for Gauntlet. I will skip this one.
Can you try out the SUMOSYS Retro Gaming Station I'm wondering if its any good
How on this cabinet do you pick witch game you want to play?
I always wanted a arcade
How did they miss the part of not being able to record high scores? I thought that would be a given for such arcade machines. I am super interested in getting one of these Arcade 1 Up cabinets but these lil things here & there really bothers me. -_-
Hey, wreck it Ralph!!
Can you do the tmnt version of arcade 1up?
My start up screens are also completely different for each game
Is there a "Kill Screen" for Rampage.
Dose this cab keep high scores after you turn off the game?
In the pac-man cabinet (the only one i own) the word NAMCO is replaced with BNEI which tells me that, just like the gauntlet game shown here, it was modified/pirated.
I really don't care for the rampage artwork at all or the game. I would have gone with joust artwork, defender, or gauntlet. You can find websites to order arcade 1up sized stickers and marques though.
I think gauntlet does not go past lvl 30, but who's going to sit there that long anyway.
Well presented video and information.
They could have put to robotron on here too or stargate. Even berserk. Or a golden axe arcade collection.
Defender sounds fun.
Yes a control button mode would be nice or cheat menu.
I agree it's close enough to arcades. Easy to build and take up less space. I build a shelf for mine to make them even higher than the riser.
For the other games they should include a cardboard to lay over the controls, but I like this I will order one and bought Street Fighter one I think they will have mortal kombat one out too
My dad has the same street fighter and rampage
Jungle tac created the wireless, wireless 60 and air
Still holding out for the TMNT cabinet
When are they going to come out with Paperboy?
