Do you own an Arcade 1 Up cab? If not what game would sway your decision?
I have the mortal kombat 30th anniversary cabinet, and I love it .
Awesome. Same place I bought mine from. Been loving it. Gameplay is still amazing even after 40 years. I see your Marquee print on the top is slightly wonky like mine! Doesn’t bother me as the cabinet is awesome. Enjoy
Hi matey yep like yourself truly loving it matey !!!! Didn’t notice the wonky marquee to be honest…. That said I’m ok with that matey 😎🍺
This made my weekend! Thank you so much, loved every second of it. You gave such useful tips helping people to avoid potential pitfalls and boy you’ve not lost your touch. Love that music and sound effects, always have. Thank you for always bringing a bit of joy and happiness into my life on every Friday.
Hi matey, good to hear from you and so glad you enjoyed this video. Got a full review of this dropping Monday 6pm so a treat before Fridays release matey 😎🍺
@@OGDuffy oh thanks!!! Been a crap day, I need this! Lol… thank you for making them, you keep making em, we’ll keep watching them.
@@comicbossone2411 Cheers matey 😉😉🍺🍺
I bought the first release version of the cabinet. I am Slightly jealous of the "coin slots" you have. I do like the artwork layout on mine better though. I am glad you were finally able to get your hands on one.
Hi matey, they are great bits of kit and play mine all the time. Still don’t tire of the original Star Wars game 😎
@@OGDuffy Nor. I have played every version of the original I can find.
Sorry, gonna comment before I watch the video. Seen the first 10 seconds and wow. This looks amazing. Have a big bottle of Mahou so let’s enjoy
Mahou.... A great Spanish lager matey... Great taste my friend 😎🍺
Awesome Duffy! This reminds me of the Paper Boy arcade cabinet that had a bicycle handle as a controller. It is said that when they constructed that handle they stress tested it on the biggest guy that they could find in the development studio (he had to basically try to rip out the stearing handle from the cabinet). Turns out it was a good strategy as the handles held up very well over the years.
PaperBoy another Atari classic with a unique
Controller, didn’t know about the way they tested it but makes sense 😀 Thanks for sharing that take matey, love the info people share here 😎🍺
If you mod it - you can play paperboy and spy hunter etc perfectly on that star wars cabinet with the yoke. Also battlepod.👌
Great Video, Highly enjoyable
Cheers Martin glad you enjoyed it matey and thanks for commenting… appreciated 😉🍺
Great video OG! What a lovely cabinet! Very jealous!
Top tip, if you have any cardboard boxed games in storage chuck in those silica gel packs to keep them moisture free!
Thanks for the tip Ash, great advice matey… Yep having a lot of fun with this cab especially this weekend 😎🍺
Congratulations and enjoy matey..Cheers
Still getting played even now matey 😉 Such great games 😎🍺
Mine has just arrived from Amazon only £525 at the moment. Can't wait to set it up,( I too have fond memories of this in the Arcade when i was A kid ) i will be using your Video as A guide. Thanks OG
Awesome matey, hopefully you get as much fun and enjoyment from yours as I do mine…. Let me know how the build goes 😉
@@OGDuffyAll done with no problems. Loving it takes me right back
Used to love that cabinet back in the day. I used to take holidays in Wales as a kid and Colwyn Bay pier back then used to have a sit down version that was a very respectable 10p a pop. A lot of my money got used up in that cab alone lol. For me my fave arcade game was and will always be shinobi though. It's the only reason I own the Sega megadrive collection for xbox 360 (although the other games are a welcome bonus as well) as to my knowledge its the only hard copy version of the arcade original outside of owning an original arcade board. I remember not too many years ago at games were hated amoung the retro gaming community became they threw out a load of shoddy plug n play consoles with incredibly cheap components just to keep costs down. They seem to have cleaned up their act in recent years I think them losing the license to manufacture Sega licensed products was the kick up the arse they needed.
Hi matey, Shinobi a classic Sega game matey and one I still visit on the bartop. Losing that license would hurt any business my friend... That said if you churn out cheap rubbish then much deserved 😎🍺
very nice . id love the final fight cab
Final Fight is a classic matey 😎
Just ordered mine, cannot wait 🔥
Well done matey, hope you get as much pleasure as I still do mine 😉🍺
Great video! Glad you were able to get this cabinet, it's great!
Yes matey, well pleased with it 😎🍺
You seem to have one of the cabs with the issue a few have reported. If you look at the top black bar on the marquee you will see it’s been cut wrong as the black bar is thicker on the right compared to the left. Apart from that LOVELY.
Hi matey to be fair didn’t notice that …. Have since looked and your correct, but to be honest I am happy with it so I’ll keep as is my friend 😎🍺
I literally gor my street fighter 2 cab last week!! I got if from someone at work for £80 because they never used it. I hope you like it as much as I do Duff. 👍
£80 cannot go wrong with that matey 😎 Awesome purchase, lots of people upgrade joysticks and buttons on those cabs, might be worth looking into if that interests you ? 🤓🍺
That cab is amazing!
Cheers Nat I’m getting quite good at the games now 😎
Fairplay duffy buddy you did a great job of putting that together, im like you aswel, if I knew them bobbles was there in the screen id have to get them out aswel 🤣 that tune takes me right back 😄😄
This is one great experience and takes me right back to my youth. Got plenty of gameplay in over weekend so a decent video showing it all dropping later matey 😎
Oh wow; I've been after one of those for a while 🤩
Hi matey, it was not cheap but.... So much fun and the nostalgia from it is immense !!!!! Im sure you could emulate and use a flight controller to get decent play? Maybe an X-Wing fighter would be a great addition to Flight Simulator? 😉🤣🍺
@@OGDuffy I did try using a flight yoke to emulate the original SW control setup; it's just not the same mate.
Looks a really smart machine, I wish I had the room for something like that.
Hi Danny, space is becoming something of a premium in the games room now 😉
If i ever had room for a cab, it certainly will be this one. Great tutorial and great vid 👍
Cheers Gary I’m loving it matey… Such good fun 😎🍺
Only got a raspberry Pi that cabinet is just a dream..
Hi John I have a bartop that emulates all the old games etc but the controller on this just really makes it for me !!!! 😉🍺
Banging arcade….few bevvies few games & a few hours👍👍😉😉
Exactly that matey 😎🍺
Awesome cabinet for your first home arcade machine! By the way, don't know if you'll be able to buy from Etsy, as it's a U.S. site, but there's a guy on there who makes a vacuum form bezel mod for that cabinet, as well as the first release version of Star Wars. Comes as three pieces, one for the middle, just below the screen, and two uprights, either side of the screen. I just got my kit, and installed it a few days ago. It makes the cab look even more like the real one. Just need some thick double sided tape, and you're good to go. I'd recommend ordering the untrimmed one, as it'll save you a bit for the import fees. Oh, if you happened to have an extra white angle bracket, and four C screws left over, they connect the speaker board to the marquee. That's why you're having to battle those bits during assembly. Really enjoyed watching you have some serious fun, reliving your youth on that cabinet. Thanks for sharing this with us. Cheers, indeed! ;)
Hi Thomas and thanks for the great comment.
Cannot beat the old arcade classics and this is the one game that was. Must have for me ! Such an iconic game from the sampled speech down to the classic vector graphics and still as playable today as it was then.
This is still getting plenty of use matey and you certainly sound like a fellow fan of this cab matey 😎🍺
It's a gorgeous cab, no doubt about that. Unfortunately I sold mine as it didn't get played anymore.
That’s fair enough matey😎 To be honest every time I go into my games room it’s the first game to be switched and still play it daily 😉
For me the game has not dated since I was 10, still so playable 😊🍺
Amazing video bro! You’re so quick with a screwdriver too! Strong with the force you are! MTFBWY always
The force is strong with my screwdriver !!!!! 😎🍺
Atari Star Wars !
Def need more beers duffy 😂
I would build it wrong too many parts for me 😂
Went together really well matey, a nice straightforward instruction set and everything fitted well 😎🍺
Great video mate. Hope the machines holding up. I feel like I need to add some kind of seat or cockpit to mine 👍🏻
Still playing it all the time matey, such an iconic machine 😎🍺
This looks class! Definitely makes me lean a lot closer to picking up an 1-up in the future. This SW one is the crème de la crème though. Great stuff mate. 👍😊🕹️
Cheers Ed I’m really enjoying it matey…. Got a few hours gameplay in this weekend gone 😎🍺
I’m with you definitely love this arcade as I have a full size cab with all the games but you can’t play with game. Looks a good build as I’ve seen 1up in person and looked a little thin. My tip would be to use insulation tape to hole the panels together as you fit the side and also only pull back a little protective film to screw in case you slip. Great video and great arcade so enjoy dude 👊🏻
Cheers matey, your a lucky man to have the full cab buddy 😎
I’m loving it and getting lots of use this weekend 😎🍺
Love it!
Cheers Jay, it got plenty of play this weekend my friend 😉🍺
Looks soo good in your room looking forward to a full review 😁
Star Wars Arcade 1 Up FULL Review … Coming Soon
The only Arcade 1Up that I’d consider getting.
Its a great cab matey, really enjoying it.
@@OGDuffyI finally bit the bullet and bought one this week as Amazon had a discount. I already had the GRS flight yoke so I’ve fitted that to it. Really loving it!
How long would you say this arcade took you to put together ? Looks awesome 👌🏾 👏🏾 👍🏽 😍
A good hour or two matey, but didnt rush. Took my time and built with a couple of beers 😎😉🍺🍺
@@OGDuffy Good to know, I just got one from Wayfair the other day discounted from 599 to 520, which is good the new version with coin door ...I will build cab tomorrow
Question. On the difficulty settings for each game, but there easy medium hard on each game anyway? Any tips?
To be honest I have just stuck to standard matey 😀
Started watching your channel recently OG, loving it! Duffy is a very popular surname where I’m from :)
Hi matey, welcome to the channel and glad your enjoying the content 😉🍺 Assume your in Ireland my friend 😎🍺
Well this is a Suprise enjoy love the video
Cheers matey, its a great cab.... Loving it !
Love your channel pal and a good beer or three 😂....got a few of these cabs in my man cave and absolutely love them...get in contact bud anytime if you want to geek out and have a few bevvies.
Will do matey… Where you based buddy
?
@@OGDuffy Essex bud.
Hi Duffy
Another great vid, I always wanted a arcade cabnet but never had the space, but that one is not to big. and to be able to play all 3 starwars games is great and would also like the outrun game aswell but will have to save up or try and get a second hand system.
thx
Lee
Hi Lee, yes matey Outrun would be a great cab, I know a fella who made his own features quite a few driving games including Chase Hq !!!! 😀
Hi Duffy
Chase hq was one of my fav games im now going to have a look for it now.
thx
Lee
@@Lee-wu6dr Enjoy matey
I think ill be getting one after this video! cant wait to play these games. Nice gaming setup, im having a beer now haha
Enjoy your beer matey 😉 I have had a while now and still play it on a weekly basis, just switch on and play a few games !!!!!! So iconic 😊🍺🍺🍺
BECAREFUL @ 18:00 I didn't realise it was a film to remove and so snapped the acrylic in half thinking I had to remove it lol
Yes matey, your not the first to attempt this removal, others have said about this too.😉
I just Purchased this and it will be delivered soon. Im only 5'5 so. So, does it have to go on the riser to play?
You dont have to have it on the riser but I think it plays better personally. Still playable without though 😉
@@OGDuffy thank you
@@nasacanesfan2574 your welcome and enjoy the new machine !!! I play mine weekly and features again in tonight’s VLOG dropping at 6pm. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do 😀
Every few minutes, a little guy was knocking on my monitor in the bottom right corner of the screen. He looked a little tipsy drinking his beers. I hope he's ok now.
He’s fine….. I reckon he should make a reappearance in newer vids…. What you reckon?
you have the bug too where it says 'remember the force will be with you always' then it says 'the force be with you' - it doesnt do that one the arcade and mame versions
Didnt know about that.... Thanks for sharing 😉
I was considering treating myself to one of these for my bday as I saw them on pre order at GAME. To be honest though, they are so expensive over here, America gets them at a third of the price and so it’s hard not to feel ripped off. Think I’m gonna pop for a MAME cab at some point instead for about the same money. It does look damn cool though I won’t lie.
Hi matey, its a great cab and its the controller that swung it for me 😉 A mame cab would be a great investment matey, revisiting all those classic arcade games will be awesome matey... Go for it and AVOID GAME at all costs matey, awful company!
@@OGDuffy I must admit GAME pissed me off fairly recently - they had The Last of Us part 2 on PS4 preowned for something like 14 quid and also in the 3 for 2 deal. I didn’t pull the trigger right away but went back to pick that up and 2 other games I semi fancied to make up the deal. Blatantly, to coincide with the renewed interest from the series just out, they’d taken it out of the deal and stuck the pre-owned price up to 24.99! I notice the price of that game has universally gone up from just a month ago, I wound up saying screw GAME and picked up a Steelbook edition from eBay. I’ve got lots of happy memories from GAME in the 90’s and early 2000’s though, I’m sure they are a soulless cash-grab now, but it’s hard to separate.
@@Dessan01 Take a look at their trust pilot reviews matey.... Shocking especially online purchases.
I have the arcade1up sit down version. I am hoping for San Francisco Rush and Time Crisis from them soon to complete my arcade.
Time Crisis would be a dream game release 😉
Liberty Games also sell the sitdown model
Good stuff and a great company.
did you know it reads 'May the force be with you' on the death star before it explodes @ 28:21 I thought it was surface lights but no
Thats right matey and on other waves it gives the names of some of the games developers etc too 😉🍺
I’d love to have a go on this machine. I have the street fighter 2 cab that I’ve pimped with a Pandora’s box and better quality buttons and an amp and speakers.
Hi Ian, its a quality machine matey, really enjoying re-visiting these old Atari games... Great games. Happy to have you round for a beer and a play if you fancy it some time matey.
@@OGDuffy sounds good 👍
@@IanMartinScreenwriter 😉😉
Is there a reverse printed marquee on this one ?
Dont think so matey?
It looks good mate, height is fine to be fair
Cheers matey, pleased with it 😉
Got one as well , over payed but you only live once. Put a strip of car window tint behind marquee improves the look . Nice job.
Hi matey, good to hear your a man of equal taste 😎 May take a look at that marquee tip matey... Cheers 😉🍺
@@OGDuffy that or parchment paper helps it shading better.
That looks pukka mate ! Can remember it vaguely in the Mus
It was always my goto machine in any arcade growing up ! So many memories of this one matey 😉🍺
Not bad, I think you pretty much had it made in 20 minutes.
Hi matey took me a few hours. Filming the process made it a lot longer. Well pleased with it and had a fair amount of play this weekend 😀
@@OGDuffy Chuffed for ya, I am almost at that spot where I have everything I want set-up the way I want it, give it 3 months and a clear out and I'll hopefully have my ultimate gaming set-up.
Too small.
Fair enough matey😉 Each to their own, still play it every week😎
Very jealous. I'm the same, really would only buy cabs with unique controls that can't be replicated in mame
Hi Stuart your bang on matey, great controller.😉🍺
