I haven't seen those Star Wars games 35 or so years and as you started playing them, I remembered exactly how to play them. It makes me think of the good times I had with my late brother when we would play at an arcade in Casselberry,FL called The Fun Machine. Thanks, Chris👍
Sorry for your loss. I had lots of fun at the Arcades with friends and family that have pasted away so I feel what you mean...May memories of those times with your Brother keep you warm and comforted Bro.
Your Mortal Kombat Arcade needs a riser. I love the Star Wars Arcade 1Up cab. I wish it came with Star Wars Trilogy which I feel is the best Star Wars Game. Thanks for the great video.
There was an ice cream parlour in Birmingham UK that had the Star Wars game. My friends and I would catch the bus at lunch time, play two or three games and be back in time for the register at 2PM! Happy memories
My cousin has what may be the first production Pole Position sit down version. It has as low a serial number and my cousin bought it at an estate sale, he said it appeared to have never a coin through the slot.
I have the original release of the Arcade1up and my biggest complaint is the discrepancy between the volume of the startup video and menu and the games themselves. Going from the games back to the menu is always so jarring and I have to turn the volume down before starting the unit or going back to the menu. This is clearly a software issue and I was hoping they’d have fixed it on this reissue
Pretty cool set up you have there. I actually owned one of the original SW arcade games, I sold it a few years back, now I wish I had kept it. My dad and I used to work for ATARI Games Corp (coin-op division) back in the 90's. My dad also worked for them way back in the 70's (the hay days) so we have decades of history there. The stories I could tell you... My collection of arcade games has shrunk over the years but I still have an original Asteroids, Tempest, Pac-Man, Frogger, BATMAN, Primal Rage, SF RUSH and several others. These 1/8 cabs are great for folks who want something like this but without the heft and size of the real things. The cool thing is those "new" games are still just running the original ROM's from the originals, so game play is the same. Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend. -David
I gotta say I was prepared to hate the new cabs (I have the star wars one). The reliability of the cab by taking the ssi + MSI + microprocessors + ROMS + god knows what via large decrepit cab boards (those things are monsters) to one small palm sized board is just unbelievable .. no thermal issues. When you go to vintage arcades to play old school games star wars is frequently waiting for some fix. Also the Big ugly CRT being shelved for that 17 inch lcd .. wanted to hate it .. its BETTER. The bigger harder to maintain screen was hard on the eyes and very pixelated. Finally the control a lot of people complained about the yoke being plastic .. I certainly feel the gears are an upgrade (the x axis does NOT have gears just a direct drive potentiometer) compared to the spindly nylon jobs from 83.
I've seen that you can download a file onto an SD card and upload the TMNT games and more into the 4 player cabinets (all the 4 player cabinets are the same aside from graphics). When the warranty is up on my Simpsons 4 player cabinet I plan on doing just that so I can have those games and not need extra machines.
Nice build .. I was very impressed with the new coin slot. How great would it be to have that open so you can store some stuff inside the cab (its like an empty warehouse in there I have my back detach with velcro for that). I would also as a big player of the game appreciate a pause button on the cab .. because I will not pee in a jar like they did in the day, and sometimes you have to turn it off mid game to save your marriage. Anyway cool build .. loved the little details.
We must have all the same hobbies :) I only got one of these before I discovered the end of my wife's tolerance, but I use Retro Pie for the rest of the arcade games!
Great video! Does the yolk and fire buttons feel like the original Star Wars arcade machine? I had the original and nothing else compares. I am keen to buy this one as has all 3 games.
They are a good bit of fun. I'll wrap up my collection with Big Buck Hunter, Golden Tee eventually and hopefully they make a Road Rash / Hang On cabinet with a handlebar for a motorcycle game some day.
@@hpiguy They have Duck Hunter? That was one of my along with my Son's favorites, I also want to see if they have Super Metroid...I was addicted to that one, I did beat that on Nintendo version I believe, it was a fun , fun game. Thanks for the review really interesting. thanks for posting and sharing and all your hard work and time in posting your video reviews it's greatly appreciated Chris.
Arcade1up did a good job with the design of the wooden cabinet and the retro aspect. What is absolutely incomprehensible, however, is why these age-old vector graphics games are in this €700 device. Do you want to torture children with it? Also, you can't really enjoy retro when there are now super cool 3D Star Wars games. Why wasn't at least the System Modul-3 games adapted? They could have added those nostalgia vector games as a bonus after all.
If other people enjoy this game for nostalgia and fun factor what’s the big deal? If you don’t like it that’s fine but I’ve set this game up for a local school and kid’s and adults enjoyed. This Star Wars arcade was one of the most popular arcades I set up along with Outrun and the simpsons. trying to figure out where your negative post is coming from.
Arcade1Up will have many of their retro games include online access so that you can compare scores and have leaderboards across the world. Of course the original game would not have had that, but people want to know if these cabinets can compare scores online.

@@wraith20072007 Thank you
I remember the sit down cabinet for Star Wars at the local fair in the U.K. Amazing game.
Beautiful…Thank You for detail in putting it together…Congratulations ❣️❣️❣️
Congrats on the pickup - the perfect addition to your collection.
I think so too!
Nice! I see they have Defender. I wish they also had Stargate Defender. I spent a lot of quarters in that machine when I was younger.

Wow I didn't know that there are acctual Arcade Kits around .I just knew the about used real Accade Mashines you can buy . Cool Stuff.
There was an ice cream parlour in Birmingham UK that had the Star Wars game. My friends and I would catch the bus at lunch time, play two or three games and be back in time for the register at 2PM! Happy memories
Your yoke seems a little misaligned to the left. Mine was the same. I contacted customer service and they sent me a new control panel and yoke. 👍
That tron just lights up like crazy ..you gotta get a black light and lets side art show off .. nice!!
My cousin has what may be the first production Pole Position sit down version. It has as low a serial number and my cousin bought it at an estate sale, he said it appeared to have never a coin through the slot.
"Prepare to Qualify"
I can remember it like it was yesterday.
I have the original release of the Arcade1up and my biggest complaint is the discrepancy between the volume of the startup video and menu and the games themselves. Going from the games back to the menu is always so jarring and I have to turn the volume down before starting the unit or going back to the menu.

Pretty neat. Video games sure have come a long way.

ah thats awesome! i want to get the Ninja Turtles arcade one lol

Looks like a fun game- nice arcade you have there.
WOW!!! It's a cool collection!
That Ridge Racer cabinet is obscenely good looking, I need that.
Actually, ever consider scratch building an arcade cabinet?

I ordered one and so I was wondering how big the box was. Looks doable. Thanks.

Hey Chris, nice fish man!
FUN!
Great video! Does the yolk and fire buttons feel like the original Star Wars arcade machine? I had the original and nothing else compares. I am keen to buy this one as has all 3 games.
I haven't touched one of the originals since the 80s so I can't compare, sorry.
I had no idea you could buy these
For the full experience you need the cockpit version.
I have the Packman with four games installed. This is pretty cool, got to check this out.
They are a good bit of fun.
I'll wrap up my collection with Big Buck Hunter, Golden Tee eventually and hopefully they make a Road Rash / Hang On cabinet with a handlebar for a motorcycle game some day.

Return of the Jedi is a very difficult game and I mean VERY difficult.
Pretty kool
The AT-AT level was never available back in the day.
Fly down that Tight Tunnel and shoot your weapon into the hole.. Use plenty of Force!

Buen video
You don’t have to turn it off to select another game. Hold all four buttons down and it will take you back to the main game select menu 👍🏻
Correct
@@hpiguy in the video you turn it off to get back to the main menu. Was just making you aware 🙂
Because I wanted to speed things along and couldn't hold all four while filming.
Thanks man!
Best time of your life.
I have spent real money playing the real console. This is a really nice clone of that.
Was disappointed that you didn't respray it in black primer then highlighted things using a silver Sharpie
I did brush Future all over the screen though! LOL
I prefer 90s arcade graphics over 80s!
Arcade one
Line Drawings = Vector Graphics.
It's not online!! Who would have guessed?! it's a 40 year old game ffs!!
