Sweet buddy. Glad ya upgraded. I know how much you love MK2! Looks way better, and much closer to the arcade cab. The marquee doesn’t look washed out like the old one. Have to play when I come back. That toob’n bezel was a nice touch. Good comparison. Sucks ya forgot to flip the camera. I hate when I do that.
@@PiN_MiKE thanks dauuuude! Yeah I woulda reshot some of it but the main comparison footage was all the wrong way so ize like oh well can’t reshoot it without the old cab haha
Really wanted to get this one... but with two daughters under 10 a cab with lots of M rated games didn't make sense. So yeah, we're on Ms PacMan/Galaga Class of 81 for now.
The pressed board is cheap, I almost broke a wood brace piece when I was building KI Pro, it started to crack. And that cost $1000, and only 500 were made. Now it seems to be gone from the 1up site, the only place you could buy it from. I modded mine with Midway and Nintendo sticker logos on the deck and sides and a Szabo’s marquee with Nintendo and Midway logos. I have MKII deluxe but didn’t build it yet. At least they weigh less than real cabinets. The side panels and some other pieces on Arcade1ups are a little better with durability.
@@robkrasinski6217 yeah I hate that we spend a bunch of money on these things and they’re so cheaply made lol. My time crisis deluxe had a bad chip in the piece on front that shows the different game types. I asked A1up if they could send me another piece to replace that one and they declined 🤣 just doesnt seem right to me but what are ya going to do 🤷♂️
@@maveh221 oh man I need more practice on that one. I’m about to head to bed right now but I’ll do some more testing with it and get back to you. The controls seemed really weird on that one and I just can’t recall enough to give any details at the moment. It seemed to have a couple of different control options but again I’d have to boot it up and make some notes lol. My initial thoughts were I don’t remember this game feeling so complicated as a kid in the arcades haha
@@maveh221 sorry for the late reply! I just booted up defender and I’ll try to explain to you the way the controls are laid out ha ha. If you would rather me do a video sometime, I can try to do that. So there’s two types normal and simplified. I believe the only difference in these two is that you can control reverse and thrusters with the left joystick on simplified controls. Both control schemes have hyperspace(player 2 run button), smart bomb (player 2 low punch), thrust(player 2 block),and fire(player 2 high kick or low kick) If you decide to use the regular normal controls, you have to use that same setup but reverse is controlled with player 1 run or low punch buttons. So it seems super complicated to me but I don’t really remember how the old arcade was actually laid out. Hope this helps! Again let me know if you prefer a video and I’ll try and make that happen😜👍
I bought this and ended up putting a Raspberry Pi in it so it could play anything. I still ended up getting rid of it after less than a year because of how small it is and the poor quality of the wood. I also wanted a real coin door and while I did fit one to this, it was on that flimsy front piece. I eventually got rid of it for a full size DIY cabinet and it feels so much more authentic.
Midway did a good job at making arcade games back in the 80s and 90s. cool video
@@awesome4k824 yeah man! Their games were always a blast! Thanks bud!

i love my modified MK2 Arcade1up machine.
how does defender play on it, that's my reason for being interested in it

@@maveh221 😉 no prob! I’ll try and do a video on it for ya;) even though I’m not very good at that game haha
