  • We've had the Arcade1Up Terminator 2 Arcade Cabinet in our home for a month now and I felt it was time to finally film a Review for this product and whether or not after a month if I feel the $700 price tag was worth it for this T2 recreation 3/4 scale Arcade Machine from Arcade1Up.

    Your thoughts on this cabinet? Let me know below! I'm also surprised nobody mentioned the Terminator I had come walking out of the screen at 0:21 LOL I thought that was funny.

      Starting buying these cabinets for my basement, got the simpsons and x-men and had my eye on this. Glad I watched this I think I will wait, I wish it came packaged with a few games like the other machines. Revolution X would have been a good one to package in. Right now I have an old tv that works with lg games with my ps2 and saturn hooked up to them for gun games only, I might just build something around that tv and make it look like an arcade machine, would get more out of it for less at this point. I do really like the look of the T2 machine though.

    The Arcade1up T2 arcade cabinet Needs A Update Badly To Fix The Audio Issues. The Sooner The Better!

  • @evilgeniusentertainment
    @evilgeniusentertainment 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    'Dubs, I gotta tell ya, that's just about the best review I've seen yet for an arcade cab. Clear, concise, and honest in its conclusions, the viewer pretty much knows exactly what to expect if they buy this cab. In other words, what every review should be. Far as this cab goes, while T2 would look great in any home arcade, the cost-to-value on this product is obviously very skewed. I'm not even sure it's worth $500 considering the negatives, biggest of which is the 17" screen size; far too small for a shooter. The lack of a coin door - which likely costs A1up $10 or less to produce - is truly bizarre. And having only one game is the final nail in the coffin for me. Great content brother; keep 'em coming!

  • @TheAztec010
    @TheAztec010 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You nailed it the game is fun and provides family entertainment! The minor problems are what most will ignore as I don’t stare at a washed out marquee or a cord hanging from the cabinet while playing or in the idle position. Very precise review and I will be viewing more on your channel soon. 👍🏽

  • @GamersReckoning
    @GamersReckoning 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Ended up diying a retractable cable system and it is cheaaaap and easy! I cut the bottoms off the base per the video you recommended and stuff the cables down in the cab. Then went around back and tied a half ziplocked bag of rice to the middle of the cable. Left enough length so it touched the bottom and didn't pull the cable out of its connectors. You can take whatever amount of rice out of the bags to make it feel better on the pull. Plus the bad don't make sound when hitting the bottom when you let the cable retract. Worked like a charm and made this cab feel and look so much better.

    Got my machine assembled and played a bit last night. The targeting reticle always gets stuck somewhere in the lower right quadrant of the screen near the edge. What's up with that? This is with the blue gun. I was too burnt out by that time, to try the red gun and went to bed a disappointed little kid.

    PDubs,
    Judgement day for the T2 cab :) Great review! For me, it's more about space and nostalgia level. Right now I have no more space in my home arcade after purchasing the big nostalgia hitters for me. Though I enjoyed T2 back in my college's Arcade, it was never a go to machine for me. Getting to the helicopter stage and never being able to get past it was a frustrating point for me as well, but it never deterred from my overall fun. Still, wouldn't it be cool if Arcade1up added a "one shot kill" option for the helicopter stage? Maybe it would take away from the fun, skill for sure, but many it would be funny :) If I had unlimited room, I would've picked this one up for $200, but no more. The value of the game included just isn't enough for me to give this one a look. However, I'm SO GLAD Arcade1up was able to bring out this highly requested cab to those who wanted one. So many great options for us all :)

      PDubs,
      I agree. For the price, too many things that need to be improved. I'm so happy that the variety of games on my Big Buck World made it worth the value for me :) I wouldn't have purchased it if it weren't for all the mini games I discovered it had. This is the kind of shooting cab I wanted, a bevy of shooting gallery games. Sure, the hunting is still fun, but I skipped on this cab when it first launched, because I didn't have an interest in just shooting animals. Now that I can shoot flying cow pies from grinning cows, that sold it for me! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a House of the Dead cab. But again, they have to get the number of games to value right for me and hopefully a bigger monitor :)

    I got two for the price of one 🤣
    There was a bank issue after I ordered and was told to try again so I did. My bank statement then showed two charges for $699.99. I contacted A1U and got a refund on one which my bank statement reflects the refund...all good. Then on delivery day I find two T2 cabinets outside my front door. I decided to roll the dice and see if A1U contacts me for a pick up but I’ve yet to receive any email regarding this and no extra charge of $699.99 added to my bank statement. Generally I’d be very quick to fix this issue to avoid problems but instead decided to feel this one out. If my next bank statement comes back clean then I can sell this one for probably $600-$650. Or hold on to it to see if it’s value appreciates as the Star Wars cab did.

I don't know how much it costs to go through the game in an arcade, but I don't think I'd play it through enough to make it cost effective. Unless you can parlay enough TH-cam views to pay for (some of) it, I can't justify the price myself. It's really cool, though. Thanks for sharing!

    I bought this cabinet. Only Arcade game I really liked growing up. I liked others but never really played them much. I played this one everytime I went to mall. So for me this one was worth the money. Is it worth $700? No Arcade game is worth $700 for just 1 game. Lets be honest we don’t buy these for primarily playing the game. We buy it for the look.
    The white line around the screen is the one thing I don’t like. I watched this video before buying it. I probably wouldn’t have noticed/cared about the white line if hadn’t pointed it out. But he’s right this game was very dark in the Arcade version. So I had the bright idea to put black velvet tape around the white borders. It made it look a lot real good because it enhanced the blacks. However when I first saw this video I didn’t realize he said the white lines are for the guns. So thats why my gun didnt work properly after adding the black border. Ooops 😂😂😂
    This was sale for $550 a month ago and I should of jumped on it then. I’m new to buying Arcade games and noticed it’s impossible to find the Star Wars Trilogy and Arcade 1up isn’t making any more it seems. So thats why i bit the bullet and bought it for $700 because I didn’t want to risk not being able to get it down the road.
    I agree with his review. It’s spot on. None of the issues bother me though because I just like having this in my house because growing up I would of thought no way would I ever own the actual arcade game (well a 3/4 in size version of it 😂)

    I look at all arcade1up cabs as a base to which to mod if you want it truly authentic. Arcade1up is good about setting that price with just enough features to have you question buying it or getting a real cab and fixing but what is in their favor is size not many people can fit a real cab in their house so they bank in that when setting the price. It’s like if you see a cab you really always wanted you’ve got to bite your tongue abd purchase it knowing you’ll need to improve on it with mods. But ya for me I would wait to purchase these cabs and look on marketplace down line I always see these cabs on sale for good prices or ya wait till the stores discount them if you are Leary about buyers remorse.

    Sinden is garbage, just my opinion but working in the Pi emulation realm, they make you do most of the work yourself to have games be functional with that ugly border. They should have gone with a Phoenix AE or Gun4IR option.
