    Are you guys picking up the XL or like me, looking for bargains on other versions of Pac-Man?

      I own zero A1up's but if I do get one or more its XL or bust and deals for me, PacMan XL is the closest I have come to buying, lower price and I will!

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, $599 plus tax is a lot for a cab that exists in so many other forms, BUT it is the form factor pretty much everyone wants.

      The XL looks great but I will hold off on the Pro versions of Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man (black and pink only).

      I recently sold off my gen 1 Pac-Man and replaced it with the deluxe, and that will be my permanent version. I don't have room to an XL, the deluxe suits me perfectly fine.

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yeah, I wonder if the XLs will be a popular as most think just based on the size factor - in one way it's very cool, but space is always going to be a limiting factor for most.

    The XL just can't be found now unless you are willing to pay $1200.00. Will they manufacture more?

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I'd say it has the best chance of any title they own of getting (another) XL release.

    Not since your review of the Pac-Man Legacy Cabinet have I seen a more greater video than this JDV. Great video. Pac-Man will always be the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) and well deserved! BTW, BOE monitors will always be the golden standard for these arcade cabs going forward. Your review of Pac-Mania was spot on. The TN monitor was absolute garbage and A1Up received tons of blowback as a result and well deserved.

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks Joe - I really appreciate the kind words! It really is too bad that A1up let those Pac-Mania games get shipped with those inferior screens (where was the on-site QC?), b/c otherwise it's a very nice little cab.

    I was at Costco Yesterday and they had Arcade 1Up Pac-Man XL on display and it really look good until I started moving the Joystick and buttons and instantly lost interest. My grandson has the Pac-man 2 years ago and it seamed that it had better buttons and joystick at that time. If you buy the Pac-Man XL you would definitely would have to change the joystick and buttons and probably before you assemble it because after assembly it's very difficult to change the buttons and joystick on the control deck. Thanks Al fore the great video.

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks! And considering that it always seems like two steps forward, one step back for their cabs, it's completely believable that they went cheap on the joystick. That joystick on Pac-Maina is surprisingly good.

    I’m sticking with the Deluxe version. Don’t need the bigger screen or the light-up buttons of the XL.

      I think there's going to be a surprising number of people who feel the exact same way (which is probably not want A1up wants to hear).
      I think the 19" monitor is a bit of overkill for vertical games; it'll be interesting to see which (if any) horizontal games A1up releases in the XL form factor.

      Ain't that the truth? The XL may have come a day late and a dollar short. Also, many will now simply wait to see if their fav cab is coming in the XL form factor. heck, the waited too long to come out with the new deluxe design too. Simply put, no reason these cabs couldn't have looked like that from the get go. Certainly by the 2nd gen.

    Is there a reason why Pac Man Jr and Baby Pac Man are not available from Arcade 1up? I have seen both of them on Atari 7800. Arcade 1up recycles the same Pac Man games over and over and over and over.

    • @VEGANVANIA
      @VEGANVANIA 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There are reasons, but they basically amount to "company history". The Japanese care a great deal about who, historically, developed what: not everything with Namco's name on it was devised by Namco in Japan. Pac Man Jr. is a perfect example.

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You gotta figure it's an issue with getting the rights to them. I was hoping to see the Atari 2600 version of Pac-Man jr on that 50th anniversary cab as it's arguably the best of all the official releases (no wonder as it was programed by the same company who did the arcade version), but no joy.

    Unpopular opinion: it's Sanwa, Seimitsu, or _nothing at all._ The joysticks (and buttons) you're getting with any (or all) of these setups are just terrible compared to the arcade standard (set by Sanwa and Seimitsu)... they're also worse than "runner up" companies like Hori and Qanba.

    • @evilgeniusentertainment
      @evilgeniusentertainment  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      For sure, honestly the joystick on that Pac-Mania cab is a step better then every other A1up cab I've owner. Noticeably better. That's buttons however are trash.

      @@evilgeniusentertainment Thanks for letting me know: every 1Up I've seen IRL had laughably terrible controls. This remains a DIY hobby for DIY people (you might or might not enjoy my own video on building your own arcade sticks, and how un-rewarding it is, I think it has "the doomed hobby" in the title).
