This video is kind of old, but if you haven't figured out by now, the 4 way joy stick is for the old games like Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and other games that used a 4 way joy stick. It's actually easier to play these games with the 4 way rather than the 8 way more modern games use. If you ever tried playing Super Pac-man with an 8 way joy stick you'll realize why you want a 4 way.
Yeah, I did actually know that, but I didn't think it would make that much of a difference compared to the 8 way. You (and others) have made me realize how wrong I was though. - Thanks for the comment!
It's not worth the money. You can build the same thing and put thousands of games on your own for a decent amount of money. If you have the money to spare and don't care about money then yeah by all means spend that kind of money but you can get that all done for 700 dollars.
I actually went to an arcade a few days ago, just to check out games and the screens are same size and most even bigger and it didn't feel like it would be a problem. It works out
I built a gaming pc and put the games on a 120 inch screen. I bought the Retrostation 4tb hard drive with over 70,000 games for 150 bucks. Used my JVC projector and everything runs through a Denon receiver. I got a Sinden light gun that works on any screen.
Also have one of these and had an additional request to add to extra buttons for players one and two to play games like mortal kombat 10 and injustice on steam. Very sick. Bought a multi port USB to add DDR dance pads - now this plays everything.
it's a nice set up and if it's worth that cost to you, then that's all that matters. we all have our own ideas on what the perfect set up is. I started out with a pandora stick, with 5k games hooked up to my 65Inch TV, then I got an old PC gutted the pandora into a controller loaded it all up with batocera has over 100k games. Now I've built a cabinet from scratch, took 2 days to build, it houses that same old PC and uses Sanwa sticks and buttons, has a 60inch screen and has 3 screen marque utilizing 3 old PC monitors and custom graphics on cab..the whole build has cost £1000
This sounds so awesome!! I wish I had the knowhow and time to make one myself, it undoubtedly would have been cheaper. That said, I'm happy with what I got. - Thanks for the watch!
Looks great. Congrats. I played so many of your favourite growing up. Sunset riders. Golden axe. I love it. It costs but you can tell it’s premium and well built. Will enjoy for years to come.
Thanks so much! Yeah, there's a special feeling when you play those games on a big, solid cabinet like this. Appreciate the watch and glad you enjoyed!
Very late to the party but wow what an exceptional video and cabinet bro. Thanks for sharing. I will certainly be picking up a Megacade *SOME* day. As for the price, might be controversial to say, but what a lot of people don't realize is, when you buy this monster of a cab, you're getting over 200,000 games with it. Now I'm not going to get into the gray area here, but if you were to purchase every single game individually on its own, you'd end up paying over a million dollars lol. Good value for the money? Absolutely!
Exactly the way I see it! Thanks and glad you enjoyed the review! The Megacade looks amazing too. It was my other choice if I didn't pull the trigger on this one.
@@PrimeCollectibles The other side is there's alot of tech issues that come up with stuffing multiple different emulators into a single unit and running them all. You didn't have to take the time to organize it all, program it, and trouble shot it. People obviously can collect a ton of roms on their own, but your time is not free. It likely would take you as individual many man hours to compile everything they already did. You can do this is cheaper ways(even just buy a harddrive preloaded with tons of games) but you're doing it with style. You have a one of a kind cabinet that is awesome to play games on. I can see myself owning something like that at some point in the not too distant future.
@Lastjustice Exactly! Hope you find an incredible cabinet/machine yourself soon. I have never once regretted buying it. It still regularly gets use and it just looks great in my mancave too.
@@PrimeCollectibles I happen see you and couple other people posting rigs and it's inspiring to see. It's eventual goals to insert into a space once I get there. Like seeing someone you know dating a supermodel. Rather be jealous I'm happy for them, as I think I can have my own version of that in due time. I have a few other ducks to get in a row, but this is a box I will be checking at some point in the not too distant future. Thanks for sharing your vision with us. I will have ponder how I want to do it in the meanwhile.
I like the video, it basically started the same way with me. I wanted a cabinet or cabinets. I did research on Multicades from damn near everyone because I played Street Fighter 2 and TMNT. Just by looking at elbow room was a deal breaker from Arcade1Up. I told myself I need the best of the best. Went yolo all over my megacade and never looked back. I think I made the right choice
Yeahhh, Megacade was the other one I was looking at! Looks incredible too.. it was just going to take something like 6 months to arrive, which was too long for me at the time. Congrats on yours though!
@@PrimeCollectibles Right, I basically went 10 months waiting. I find out I could have been got one by there Facebook page. They post people who back down or can't make payments on their arcade for half the price.
They are very impressive and extremely tempting. However, I learned long ago; You're NOT going to play Resident Evil nor Legend of Zelda on a Arcade cab. You're NOT really gonna play Console games on a Cabinet. I took a A1UP and installed EVERY Arcade Game that boots into the frontend @ start up. Best to buy a 16TB Hyperspin HDD and install it on a dedicated PC connected to you TV.
Haha I would agree for the most part.. but this does come with console controllers (XBox) so I have been playing some games like Eternal Darkness etc on here. I have comfy stools so it's not so bad.
Awesome arcade you have, i just finished my own arcade and i can say its worth it. I hope it has a coin container, because thats the thing that makes it different, from a topbar arcade, or even holding a controller on a pc. The song of the coin getting in and giving you a credit its priceless. They arent hard to addm i can see you already have 12v for the lights of the bottons, so its easy to wire and to cut the wood. You just need some daisies for the negative and 12 v and, another negative and sharing the cable of the coin slot. But most of the time they have two pins on jamma cables.
There are so many arcade owners who don't convey the experiences well and aren't actually coordinated when they play. This guy may be extremely rusty at Tekken but atleast it feels like he was actually conscious while playing all those years ago 😂 very good video. A high potential youtuber He's even playing Sunset Riders now 😂 it's like he grew up with the people I know
I have one by Arcades R Fun as well, its awesome! Pro tip: get yourself the Nintendo Switch online retro controllers! They're bluetooth and can be connected to the cabinet fairly easily. Then you can play N64, SNES, NES, Genesis, etc. with actual hardware!
Seeing this machine in person I have to say its really impressive. Definitely a nice additional for anyone's showplace. So much better then the arcade 1up units.
Thanks man, yeah agreed! No shade on Arcade 1Ups, but they're definitely not what I was looking for when I was trying to recreate that old school arcade feeling.
Extreme Home Arcades has a great community to help solve those emulation and hardware problems that come up. Big Box (Launchbox) that they use is really awesome. Really like your machine, very nice. I'm really into TecknoParrot games at the moment after gorging on these retro games. Cool video, like your channel a lot.
@@PrimeCollectibles teknoparrot is “sega ring” on our machines. Also Jack is coming with a larger game library on a new 16TB drive. Coming in a few months.
EHA makes a great machine but it’s almost double the price of an ARF. And has a lot of issues from what I have seen with the drive itself. Constant bugs and issues. Secondly I live close to ARF his in house delivery, set up and teaching you how to use the game was a HUGE selling point for me.
That is a beautiful arcade machine. In my opinion, it's easily worth $8 grand. Just setting up the software with all those roms could be hundreds of hours of work. I personally would rather have this as opposed to a dozen arcade1ups with maybe 50 games. One game recommendation for the spinner control, Disc of Tron. It's older than the fighting side scrollers but really fun gameplay. My local arcade had the environmental version you sat in like the Star Wars cab. We dumped a lot of quarters in that machine.
The company, if they're tech savvy, would set these systems up with hard drive images. The initial setup is long, but after that, point and click, with some tweaking, and definutely not hundreds of hours of setup.
No, no it isn't. Granted I made my stuff but I have a virtual pinball machine a mame arcade cabinet and a full motion rig for flight and racing for about the same price
This takes me back to the days I played Cadillacs & dinosaurs,Captain Commando,Hook,Samurai Shodown : Amakusa's revenge to name a few.. One day I'd like to get a custom arcade made, hopefully for much less lol. Its nice to experience the nostalgia of youth again with friends but most importantly to be able to share those moments with your own kids. Great vid!
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed. Some gems in that list for sure. I played Cadillacs & Convertibles for the first time on this cabinet! Was an absolute blast.
Haha ditto! It was a relatively short game too, so there was something nice about being able to beat an arcade game quickly and get that satisfaction every time.
The controller layout seems to have everything you could possibly need! I love the integrated marquee display. Don't think I've seen that in a mame/emulation system before but I bet it adds to the experience! Very happy that I have the skills to build my own cause that price is a bit prohibitive!
@@PrimeCollectibles it's absolutely fantastic! I've had it a few years now and it still plays great. I had the track ball and spinner included for games that originally required them. They also make a quality cabinet.
This is awesome. I am also an arcade enthusiast, but couldn't really justify something that big, so i got an arcade bartop, with 5000 games, that only costs 300 euros.
That's still awesome man! I considered that too, but figured I might as well buy the full cabinet for the nostalgic experience. Does yours run on a raspberry pie?
@@PrimeCollectibles Yes, it runs on a RP and uses Recalbox as the software. It is pretty cool, although it is not a real "life size" arcade. But in my case, i really didn't have the space.
Really cool machine! The art work is great on it. I did notice it looked like the capcom logo was revered at the top. Is that just from the camera or do you have to send them mirroed art work to get it back correct?
Great machine! So do they do free upgrades like if a “PS8” comes out in the years ahead and they have the ability to put “PS3-4” on that cabinet do you send them something and they upgrade it for life?
Wow! There's a saying in my country. Money must flow. You live by the rules! I'm jealous. I need this too. I've enjoyed this video. I would like to see more. It's a part of a mancave and i'm building mine too. So any ideas are always welcome.
@@PrimeCollectibles it's nowhere near as nice as yours but I'm working on it. At the moment i'm staying at my parents house in Belgium and they live in Spain so I can save my money. When my house is ready (a few more weeks) I can give it my all. Statues, games (ps5, Xbox One Series X, Switch, Lego pieces with light my bricks . I'm going for a lightfull, playfull look. I have you on facebook. I'll send some pictures if you want. Not going to beat your room. I wish I could see it in real life. It must be stunning. 😍
That is amazing! All the OG Classics under one roof. Golden Axe I remember playing on the sega mega drive back in 90’s. So many wonderful memories play them types of games ☺️🙌 Love the video brother ❤️💪
@@PrimeCollectibles Sonic the Hedgehog, Indiana Jones, Earthworm Jim, Sonic & Knuckles, Desert Strike, James Pond II, Road Rash II, Disney’s Toy Story. Ah man the list is endless. So many hours spent playing them games 🙌
Not gonna lie you kind of swayed on trying to get one of these because I was hesitant on how the machines are and I don't hear them as much as I feel I should but they look great. I'd love a custom one myself but I'm no artist or designer but this machine is stunning!
So I just finished building something similar myself. I only have a 37 inch screen. I don't have any guns. Mine doesn't look as polished (still good though). I have spent about 3k on just materials and that doesn't include the insane amount of hours I have dumped into this. I still only have less than half the games working. With the after sale support is is worth 8k all day.
This is really nice to hear. Everyone keeps telling me it's a waste of money etc.. but I don't think many of them actually understand the time and resources that goes into creating, configuring and maintaining one of these. Really appreciate the comment and congrats on your setup!
I have a self built arcade cabinet with a 48” lg oled tv with a high end comp. It get used a lot but I’ve moved to tuning my BMW suv. I have more fun in my 3.3 second SUV and whooping on sports cars.
I have the same arcade machine I got mine machine in April! I think it’s fun with friends and family! I have to start using my light guns more often though!
I have had some problems software related issues. I have the same marquee and sometimes my screens got flipped around. Some games didn’t work and they logged in and re-installed the game. They have a Facebook group where everyone help each other with issues.
How is the optical gun accuracy? Crossbow and , Cheyenne for example are just not the same experience unless you have the light guns. The way it's organized and the amazing marquee, all the joysticks, trackballs, etc. I think you got a bargain. Would love to see a video of "Toobin! '", that's a unique concept! Floating down the river throwing beer cans LOL!
Hey Jayson - Dude I gotta give it up for your hot diggity taste in gaming machines. This was spectacular and the time was so appropriate because I took my 1st grader to the arcade at Pinstack Bowling yesterday and we spent the entire time playing Arcade Halo and Jurassic Park shooters. And while that awesome experience was on my mind, you just blew me away with this DOPE arcade machine. It just took my back to being a kid and biking on my Huffy bike to 7-11 and the neighborhood arcade afterwards to meet my brother and all our friends to basically game all Saturday afternoon and evening blowing out the entire paper route job allowance in one day followed by deep dish Godfathers Pizza and Slurpees afterwards. While I definitely don't have the coin for something as awesome as what you have, I was curious what you think of some of those more affordable bootleg Chinese arcade couch cabinets on Amazon and EBay. They claim to have like thousands of games too but many are repeats. Also, TMNT, Golden Axe and SF II were my favs too. Do you know how some players get random characters like Thundercats, DonaldDuck, and Justice League to pop up on Street Fighter? I've been seeing a bunch of replay videos on TH-cam about that recently. Thanks again for showing us this tour of your super fine Arcade cabinet.
Oh man, yes! Spending my paper route money on candy at the local 711 then hitting up my favorite arcade. I have the same memories. Incredible times. - So the bootleg Chinese couch cabinets are probably pretty good too, just different. They likely run on a Raspberry Pie, so they won't have the newer console emulators, but I'm sure they'll run MAME and a lot of others. My concern would just be after-purchase care with those, which I would imagine is fairly non-existent, but I could be wrong. I think ppl are modding old ROMS and creating new, hybrid games to get those fighters that have other sprites/characters like Donald Duck. I have an emulator on this machine with some of those games, but they're really unreliable and crash all the time.
14 weeks was a pipe dream. 28 weeks is amazing tho, for what you get. 😂Would love to play The House of the Dead on it or Tekken 3. Not a patient man but collecting resins? Doesn't add up Jason. 😂
Hahaha this really made me laugh. So true hey? Some things you just have to realize they're going to take forever and just forget about them till they arrive 😂.
I've been restoring legit arcade games for about 20 years, and polishing emulator compatibility for just as long. I build legit home cabinets, fixtures, and built-in bookcases by trade.I just built a few prototype pedestals and cabs that are way closer to actual arcade spec and build quality, based on actual machine designs, and before paint, they take less than 8 hours. I don't understand why these take so long unless they're outsourcing EVERYTHING but the build and wiring. Ive learned their wrap design is overseas, then printed in michigan, and they have a group that basically refines hyperspin for them. If I get another experienced finish carpenter under me, tell extreme home arcades im coming for them.
While that's extremely expensive for something that could be done for a lot less, if you have the means and your happy with it, it's money well spent. They did a great job.
@@PrimeCollectibles Question you mentioned that there was a second company you were debating between Arcadesrfun & a second company. Which was that other company ? I have a few in mind. Retrocade is one the other is Extreme Arcade.
@junedizzlerocks Man I can't remember anymore to be honest but Extreme Arcade does sound familiar. There was something called a Megacade or something? Sorry it's just been a while now.
20:45 Hey, what?! How is the overlay/bezel cycling through different pictures for the same game?! I have Launchbox/BigBox and MAME, and I've never seen this before
Great arcade; the games you highlighted are very much a gateway into my childhood as well. Between your gaming, old cartoon and anime tastes, we must be similarly aged 😄. It's like looking back on my own childhood. Price seems steep given the ROMs and emulators are pretty much freely available if you know where to look, although I really have no idea of the cost of producing the physical product itself between the cabinet/displays/sticks/light guns etc. Definitely a great piece to have as a collector though. Thanks for the vid 👍
Thank you for taking me back in time. All the games you went through were my favourites as well Street Fight vs Marvel Sunset Riders TMNT Golden Axe 🔥 Simpsons Was just hoping to see Die Hard lol. Awesome review. 💯💯💯
I wanna see you make a short video playing one of my favorite games: Crazy Climber, where you have to use 2 joysticks. Then test it with Robotron and all the Crazy Climber sequels like Hyper and part 2.
Greeaat video. I think eswat was Sega Tryna get the robocop licensed Back then but data east ended up getting it. So they just reskinned what they had and released a nice rolling thunder type game
Oh man, that makes so much sense! I definitely see both the Rolling Thunder and Robocop vibes. Turned out to be a pretty killer game regardless.. unless it's just my nostalgia lol.
No one is better than Xtreme Gaming Cabinets (XGC) from Australia, mine 4-player with 8 buttons for player one and two, with 40,000 games, Sinden recoil light guns, Coin Door, led buttons, trackball, pinball buttons, external USBs, Lunchbox/Bigbox and Hyperspin for $2,300 plus $1,400 for shipping. It is still way cheaper. The Beast one (70,000+ games) comes with more stuff and it is more cheaper than this one. $10,000 is too much.
if you could do it all over again would you buy this cabinet again?if so would you stick with the same company you purchased from or would you go with extreme home arcades?
Yeah, it's a fair question. I do love this, but I have had some issues with it.. buttons not working with certain games and having to get tech to log in and fix. Light games not linking up properly. Honestly, I don't know if that's just the nature of a system that uses emulators though. It'll never be perfect. At least they've been pretty quick to help with issues.
Cool, but there is wayyyyy to much going on with all the stick, buttons and whatnot and then getting all them custom buttons mapped to work with every game is a PITA.
Glad you are enjoying your arcade! You could have saved a ton by building one yourself and learning the process of both the hardware and software. There is a ton of information online and communities for everything you could want to know. I know that's not for everyone, but you're going to pay a premium if you avoid the DIY route.
Has it got streetfigher rainbow edition 1,2,3? And all the other hacked version of street fighter? Them versions were the reason I bought my mame arcade machine
Oh man, I wasn't even aware of them until this comment. That's really cool, I'll need to look those up. While it doesn't have those, it has a few "aftermarket" SF games and mash ups with some crazy characters you can fight with, but they tend to crash the system.
If you’re into modern design, I build a pretty neat wall mounted cabinet for Umbrella Arcades. It runs 25,000 games, and has a decent PC paired with a 1440p LG monitor. The actual cabinet is made of 16 gauge powder coated steel. Compared to their 2 player cabinet, it’s a decent improvement in terms of components.
I don't know much about emulation but deep down I would love it if it could be the real thing instead of emulation if that's even possible? can you tell the difference graphics wise? or in its playability? thanks for uploading this video wondering what company should I go with if and when I purchase one.
I only know that I have run MAME on my PC and those ROMS are the arcade ones. Had a lot of issues with running most the ones I wanted, but I was able to get a few working. Other than MAME, those emulators can generate graphics that are equal to or better than the originals (console versions, not arcade ones, but generally the console ones were never close to the arcade versions anyway)
Absolutely no difference in graphics at all. It's 1:1 for most games (arcade) as far as I can tell. Issue is really that some games just don't quite play perfectly as you get into newer consoles. Still.. pretty great for the sheer number of games on here.
I was thinking about one of these. You pretty much sealed the deal. I was just wondering if it had ability to play time crisis, area 51, virtual cop and so on
It's an oled from what I remember, yes. I'm sure each individual (or most of) the emulators have the ability to emulate the old CRT look, but it would take some fiddling, and these emulators are pretty finicky as it is.
I enjoyed your video. I don't have a cabinet but I bought close to 40 terabytes of content and a high end pc. You and I like the same kinds of games. And thankfully there are a few new games coming out that are retro inspired. Cowabunga collection, shredders revenge, final vandetta to name a few. I enjoy 3d games also but the old stuff is what is near and dear to my heart. Make more videos and I'm sure people will watch. Game on
Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed and your setup sounds dope too. I know what you mean, I'm so happy that they're starting to make great retro styled games again. :)
@@barryklinedinst6233 where did you purchase your 40tb drive? I have a high end PC and would love to add retro gaming. Is it running launchbox or hyperspin?
@devon228ish Chris Shaw runs hyper arcade systems. He's a top notch guy. I had a little trouble getting things going. He got it running and he won't ignore you if you need help
I have 4 arcades, a neogeo, street fighter 2, and alien Vs predator and a pacman cocktail. a super cabinet would be just too much for me lol. I have a system with emulators and I don't even touch it . that's an awesome setup for sure though
ppl are saying it's waaaay overpriced, but start adding up quality joysticks, buttons, guns., additional marque monior, art work... and timely hardware support.
Unfortunately this is a not true. The megacade is a joke TH-cam video really outlines the actual parts you are getting. Bottom of the barrel sticks, buttons, and if you shell out for the Xbox gamepads.....they are knockoffs. As a fight stick enthusiast, I had to look it up myself on their website.....why on earth would someone add leds to seven cent buttons for hundreds of dollars. No indication anywhere of what buttons and levers you are getting......on a ten grand rig but I did see the knock off controllers you can add.
Does it have the true multi-player games like NFL Blitz and NBA Jam/Showcase. Those cabinets are 3k to 4k a piece and would make this way more valuable? Imo of course.
I'm curious why you didn't consider the "Atgames Legends Ultimate". I bought mine used off Craigslist for 350, and even with the "bit LCD" it would only set me back around 700. Was it the larger screen, or maybe the "build quality"?
@@PrimeCollectibles Dude, I seriously respect your passion. Cost aside, the build quality of your setup is light-years ahead of atgames. I like mine, but I'm already looking into plugging in a computer to play later games (the on board setup will only play games up to around the mid 90s). When you add the extra cost adding a modded light gun/steering wheel/control stick/etc, the cost gets up there.
Yeah, I think a lot of the cost of mine comes from the computer running it and the top end hardware. The build quality is definitely up there too. I'm sure a person could build one themselves for cheaper, but there's something nice about just getting it delivered with all the bells and whistles. Until I got this I used to just run emulators on my pc or a raspberry pie-powered device but I figured, I'm in a home I'll likely have for years. Might as well go all out for this one! Thanks for the support and the thoughts man. Always nice to talk to fellow enthusiasts. @@aitrus21
Some of those games really take me back. Remember Bad Dudes, Ninja Gaiden, Rolling Thunder? As much as I enjoyed them Im a graphics snob and just cant get into alot of the older games now.
Oh man, yeah some of those are great. I still love retro games, I like new, graphically impressive games too, but I don't put them in the same category. To me I can appreciate both types in the way that I can appreciate both live action movies and Anime (for example).
Dope video my man, Man I can watch these arcade videos all day long, it’s a nostalgic relaxing experience. Keep dropping great content ✊🏾🔥🔥
Thanks man! 🙏🙏 - I'll try to post some more soon.
This video is kind of old, but if you haven't figured out by now, the 4 way joy stick is for the old games like Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and other games that used a 4 way joy stick. It's actually easier to play these games with the 4 way rather than the 8 way more modern games use. If you ever tried playing Super Pac-man with an 8 way joy stick you'll realize why you want a 4 way.
Yeah, I did actually know that, but I didn't think it would make that much of a difference compared to the 8 way. You (and others) have made me realize how wrong I was though. - Thanks for the comment!
It's not worth the money. You can build the same thing and put thousands of games on your own for a decent amount of money. If you have the money to spare and don't care about money then yeah by all means spend that kind of money but you can get that all done for 700 dollars.
I hear ya man. Building one is not something I'm interested in, and my time is worth more than the money to me tbh, but to each their own absolutely!
I'm building one. Should be able to get it done for around 3000, not 700 dude.
6:00 Your artwork & concept of the gorgeous fighting game girls is great.
Ahhhh you love the classic beat 'em games too! We're the same age... oh the memories. Thanks for reviewing this machine!
Yesss! Hugely. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!
Are you still happy with the 50" screen or does it feel too big / too close up
I actually went to an arcade a few days ago, just to check out games and the screens are same size and most even bigger and it didn't feel like it would be a problem. It works out
Screen still feels great. Right size imo. Definitely not too close up.
I built a gaming pc and put the games on a 120 inch screen. I bought the Retrostation 4tb hard drive with over 70,000 games for 150 bucks. Used my JVC projector and everything runs through a Denon receiver. I got a Sinden light gun that works on any screen.
This sounds pretty awesome too!
Where did you purchase the hard drive?
Also have one of these and had an additional request to add to extra buttons for players one and two to play games like mortal kombat 10 and injustice on steam. Very sick. Bought a multi port USB to add DDR dance pads - now this plays everything.
it's a nice set up and if it's worth that cost to you, then that's all that matters.
we all have our own ideas on what the perfect set up is.
I started out with a pandora stick, with 5k games hooked up to my 65Inch TV, then I got an old PC gutted the pandora into a controller loaded it all up with batocera has over 100k games.
Now I've built a cabinet from scratch, took 2 days to build, it houses that same old PC and uses Sanwa sticks and buttons, has a 60inch screen and has 3 screen marque utilizing 3 old PC monitors and custom graphics on cab..the whole build has cost £1000
This sounds so awesome!! I wish I had the knowhow and time to make one myself, it undoubtedly would have been cheaper. That said, I'm happy with what I got. - Thanks for the watch!
Looks great. Congrats. I played so many of your favourite growing up. Sunset riders. Golden axe. I love it.
It costs but you can tell it’s premium and well built. Will enjoy for years to come.
Thanks so much! Yeah, there's a special feeling when you play those games on a big, solid cabinet like this. Appreciate the watch and glad you enjoyed!
Very late to the party but wow what an exceptional video and cabinet bro. Thanks for sharing. I will certainly be picking up a Megacade *SOME* day. As for the price, might be controversial to say, but what a lot of people don't realize is, when you buy this monster of a cab, you're getting over 200,000 games with it. Now I'm not going to get into the gray area here, but if you were to purchase every single game individually on its own, you'd end up paying over a million dollars lol. Good value for the money? Absolutely!
Exactly the way I see it! Thanks and glad you enjoyed the review! The Megacade looks amazing too. It was my other choice if I didn't pull the trigger on this one.
@@PrimeCollectibles The other side is there's alot of tech issues that come up with stuffing multiple different emulators into a single unit and running them all. You didn't have to take the time to organize it all, program it, and trouble shot it. People obviously can collect a ton of roms on their own, but your time is not free. It likely would take you as individual many man hours to compile everything they already did. You can do this is cheaper ways(even just buy a harddrive preloaded with tons of games) but you're doing it with style. You have a one of a kind cabinet that is awesome to play games on. I can see myself owning something like that at some point in the not too distant future.
@Lastjustice Exactly! Hope you find an incredible cabinet/machine yourself soon. I have never once regretted buying it. It still regularly gets use and it just looks great in my mancave too.
@@PrimeCollectibles I happen see you and couple other people posting rigs and it's inspiring to see. It's eventual goals to insert into a space once I get there. Like seeing someone you know dating a supermodel. Rather be jealous I'm happy for them, as I think I can have my own version of that in due time. I have a few other ducks to get in a row, but this is a box I will be checking at some point in the not too distant future. Thanks for sharing your vision with us. I will have ponder how I want to do it in the meanwhile.
I like the video, it basically started the same way with me. I wanted a cabinet or cabinets. I did research on Multicades from damn near everyone because I played Street Fighter 2 and TMNT. Just by looking at elbow room was a deal breaker from Arcade1Up. I told myself I need the best of the best. Went yolo all over my megacade and never looked back. I think I made the right choice
Yeahhh, Megacade was the other one I was looking at! Looks incredible too.. it was just going to take something like 6 months to arrive, which was too long for me at the time. Congrats on yours though!
@@PrimeCollectibles Right, I basically went 10 months waiting. I find out I could have been got one by there Facebook page. They post people who back down or can't make payments on their arcade for half the price.
They are very impressive and extremely tempting. However, I learned long ago; You're NOT going to play Resident Evil nor Legend of Zelda on a Arcade cab. You're NOT really gonna play Console games on a Cabinet. I took a A1UP and installed EVERY Arcade Game that boots into the frontend @ start up. Best to buy a 16TB Hyperspin HDD and install it on a dedicated PC connected to you TV.
Ultimately it’s a 50 inch screen, and you can Bluetooth controllers to it which would make the console games playable. The price is rough though.
@@BoNuS1013 yeah but your not gonna stand for 3 hours playing Resident Evil or Call of Duty lol. You might as well play on your living room tv.
@@octoman_games Totally get that, but you can use a chair. I get both sides of the argument.
Haha I would agree for the most part.. but this does come with console controllers (XBox) so I have been playing some games like Eternal Darkness etc on here. I have comfy stools so it's not so bad.
OctoMan PC's, the Play-Choice 10 would love to argue otherwise on the matter.
Awesome arcade you have, i just finished my own arcade and i can say its worth it. I hope it has a coin container, because thats the thing that makes it different, from a topbar arcade, or even holding a controller on a pc. The song of the coin getting in and giving you a credit its priceless. They arent hard to addm i can see you already have 12v for the lights of the bottons, so its easy to wire and to cut the wood. You just need some daisies for the negative and 12 v and, another negative and sharing the cable of the coin slot. But most of the time they have two pins on jamma cables.
Oh mannn, I LOVE the idea of having a coin slot. Mine doesn't but I would absolutely love to add one and have the "1UP" button connected to it.
My favorite arcade games during my childhood were TMNT, Simpsons, Tekken 3, Cruz'n USA, X-men, House of the Dead, Metal Slug and Area 51.
All absolutely incredible games! Great memories with nearly all of those.
Now THAT'S a Commitment...All The Bells & Whistles+Ongoing Customer Service+Execution of Personal Customization = BIG WIN!
Yup, they delivered a great product!
There are so many arcade owners who don't convey the experiences well and aren't actually coordinated when they play. This guy may be extremely rusty at Tekken but atleast it feels like he was actually conscious while playing all those years ago 😂 very good video. A high potential youtuber
He's even playing Sunset Riders now 😂 it's like he grew up with the people I know
Hahaha thanks. And yes, I'm extremely rusty at Tekken 😂
I have one by Arcades R Fun as well, its awesome! Pro tip: get yourself the Nintendo Switch online retro controllers! They're bluetooth and can be connected to the cabinet fairly easily. Then you can play N64, SNES, NES, Genesis, etc. with actual hardware!
Oh good call! Thank you.
Seeing this machine in person I have to say its really impressive. Definitely a nice additional for anyone's showplace. So much better then the arcade 1up units.
Thanks man, yeah agreed! No shade on Arcade 1Ups, but they're definitely not what I was looking for when I was trying to recreate that old school arcade feeling.
@@PrimeCollectibles Dude you aren't at work, stop it with the BS corpo speak. Why are you doing that? Does it make you somehow feel important?
oh man, Sunset Riders is such a great arcade/SNES game. One of my favorite couch coop/arcade coop games
Yesss! Me too.
Extreme Home Arcades has a great community to help solve those emulation and hardware problems that come up. Big Box (Launchbox) that they use is really awesome. Really like your machine, very nice. I'm really into TecknoParrot games at the moment after gorging on these retro games. Cool video, like your channel a lot.
Thanks! I need to look into TecknoParrot games. What's the general gist?
@@PrimeCollectibles you can get them with an ARF machine also.
@@PrimeCollectibles teknoparrot is “sega ring” on our machines. Also Jack is coming with a larger game library on a new 16TB drive. Coming in a few months.
EHA makes a great machine but it’s almost double the price of an ARF. And has a lot of issues from what I have seen with the drive itself. Constant bugs and issues. Secondly I live close to ARF his in house delivery, set up and teaching you how to use the game was a HUGE selling point for me.
That is a beautiful arcade machine. In my opinion, it's easily worth $8 grand. Just setting up the software with all those roms could be hundreds of hours of work. I personally would rather have this as opposed to a dozen arcade1ups with maybe 50 games. One game recommendation for the spinner control, Disc of Tron. It's older than the fighting side scrollers but really fun gameplay. My local arcade had the environmental version you sat in like the Star Wars cab. We dumped a lot of quarters in that machine.
Yeah, this is exactly how I felt about it. Thanks and glad you agree. I'm going to give Disc of Tron a try asap!!
The company, if they're tech savvy, would set these systems up with hard drive images. The initial setup is long, but after that, point and click, with some tweaking, and definutely not hundreds of hours of setup.
All you would need is retro arch/libretro. All in one for roms. Downloading all the games is what’s going to take hours
No, no it isn't. Granted I made my stuff but I have a virtual pinball machine a mame arcade cabinet and a full motion rig for flight and racing for about the same price
This takes me back to the days I played Cadillacs & dinosaurs,Captain Commando,Hook,Samurai Shodown : Amakusa's revenge to name a few.. One day I'd like to get a custom arcade made, hopefully for much less lol. Its nice to experience the nostalgia of youth again with friends but most importantly to be able to share those moments with your own kids. Great vid!
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed. Some gems in that list for sure. I played Cadillacs & Convertibles for the first time on this cabinet! Was an absolute blast.
Man, I was so crazy about Golden Axe. I just had to play every time i found a machine with it! Great game!!
Haha ditto! It was a relatively short game too, so there was something nice about being able to beat an arcade game quickly and get that satisfaction every time.
The controller layout seems to have everything you could possibly need! I love the integrated marquee display. Don't think I've seen that in a mame/emulation system before but I bet it adds to the experience! Very happy that I have the skills to build my own cause that price is a bit prohibitive!
Yeah if you can do it yourself, that's way better of course. Hope you create an incredible rig!
I ordered mine from Dream Arcades and it shipped 48 hours later. I highly recommend them.
Oh damn, are you serious?? How are you finding it now that you've played with it for a while? Any issues?
@@PrimeCollectibles it's absolutely fantastic! I've had it a few years now and it still plays great. I had the track ball and spinner included for games that originally required them. They also make a quality cabinet.
@@scotth4713 Thanks for the heads up man! Wish I knew before I got this. But ultimately, I am happy with mine. The wait was torturous though lol.
I have the ATlegends with a Rasberry Pi attached. Great value for money :) Great machine you have there. Regards from Norway and much love.
Thank you so much!! The Atlegends is absolutely awesome too! Had a look at that as well. Congrats and thank you! Much love back from Canada :)
This is awesome. I am also an arcade enthusiast, but couldn't really justify something that big, so i got an arcade bartop, with 5000 games, that only costs 300 euros.
That's still awesome man! I considered that too, but figured I might as well buy the full cabinet for the nostalgic experience. Does yours run on a raspberry pie?
@@PrimeCollectibles Yes, it runs on a RP and uses Recalbox as the software. It is pretty cool, although it is not a real "life size" arcade. But in my case, i really didn't have the space.
@@hugomcardoso Yeah, these things are awesome too. I think I came across something similar in my search. Congrats!
Really cool machine! The art work is great on it. I did notice it looked like the capcom logo was revered at the top. Is that just from the camera or do you have to send them mirroed art work to get it back correct?
Yeah that's the just the camera! Good catch though heh.
Great machine! So do they do free upgrades like if a “PS8” comes out in the years ahead and they have the ability to put “PS3-4” on that cabinet do you send them something and they upgrade it for life?
I think they do yeah, they're really good about that stuff.
Wow! There's a saying in my country. Money must flow. You live by the rules! I'm jealous. I need this too. I've enjoyed this video. I would like to see more. It's a part of a mancave and i'm building mine too. So any ideas are always welcome.
Amazing man! Would love to see pics of the ManCave. What's in there so far?
@@PrimeCollectibles it's nowhere near as nice as yours but I'm working on it. At the moment i'm staying at my parents house in Belgium and they live in Spain so I can save my money. When my house is ready (a few more weeks) I can give it my all. Statues, games (ps5, Xbox One Series X, Switch, Lego pieces with light my bricks . I'm going for a lightfull, playfull look. I have you on facebook. I'll send some pictures if you want. Not going to beat your room. I wish I could see it in real life. It must be stunning. 😍
The time it takes to build, and configure everything is where half of the cost is at. This is from experience.
Awesome machine !! Is the 4 way for games pac man and dig dug
Thanks! Yeah that's exactly what it's for.. I think for what I use the machine for the 8 way would have worked fine but it's nice to have it!
I dont remember parents making a bid deal out of N ARC, but they made a huge deal out of Mortal Kombat lol
Haha definitely!! I remember those days well.
That is amazing! All the OG Classics under one roof.
Golden Axe I remember playing on the sega mega drive back in 90’s. So many wonderful memories play them types of games ☺️🙌
Love the video brother ❤️💪
Yeah, that's right! It was on the Mega Drive. I was always jealous of that being a Nintendo fanboy at that time lol.
@@PrimeCollectibles Sonic the Hedgehog, Indiana Jones, Earthworm Jim, Sonic & Knuckles, Desert Strike, James Pond II, Road Rash II, Disney’s Toy Story. Ah man the list is endless. So many hours spent playing them games 🙌
@@Cinematic-Statues More classics. That Indiana Jones game was epic man.
@@PrimeCollectibles it was indeed. I never completed it 😩 lol.
Not gonna lie you kind of swayed on trying to get one of these because I was hesitant on how the machines are and I don't hear them as much as I feel I should but they look great. I'd love a custom one myself but I'm no artist or designer but this machine is stunning!
Thank you so much! They do have designers that can help you though. Just tell them what you want and they'll do the rest.
@@PrimeCollectibles 😮 Do they really?! Thank you and you're welcome! ☺
So I just finished building something similar myself. I only have a 37 inch screen. I don't have any guns. Mine doesn't look as polished (still good though). I have spent about 3k on just materials and that doesn't include the insane amount of hours I have dumped into this. I still only have less than half the games working. With the after sale support is is worth 8k all day.
This is really nice to hear. Everyone keeps telling me it's a waste of money etc.. but I don't think many of them actually understand the time and resources that goes into creating, configuring and maintaining one of these. Really appreciate the comment and congrats on your setup!
10K is overkill but at least you have a fav section .
Yeah, agreed on both probably lol.
I have a self built arcade cabinet with a 48” lg oled tv with a high end comp. It get used a lot but I’ve moved to tuning my BMW suv.
I have more fun in my 3.3 second SUV and whooping on sports cars.
I enjoy gaming and racing around in fast cars equally I think. Both good times ;) - 3.3 is fast for an SUV, wow.
Everything you picked was a huge part of my childhood! If you ever want a CRT style Arcades with a retro style cabinet let me know.
Ok thanks man, will do!
Great review!!!
I have the same arcade machine I got mine machine in April! I think it’s fun with friends and family! I have to start using my light guns more often though!
Amazing!! Have you had any issues with it at all? I haven't used my light guns at all yet either.
I have had some problems software related issues. I have the same marquee and sometimes my screens got flipped around. Some games didn’t work and they logged in and re-installed the game. They have a Facebook group where everyone help each other with issues.
How is the optical gun accuracy? Crossbow and , Cheyenne for example are just not the same experience unless you have the light guns.
The way it's organized and the amazing marquee, all the joysticks, trackballs, etc. I think you got a bargain.
Would love to see a video of "Toobin! '", that's a unique concept! Floating down the river throwing beer cans LOL!
Haha yeah, maybe I'll play sometime and stream it. The guns are ok, but they're a bit finicky. Some gun games don't work perfectly tbh.
Insane sum for a cab, unless one is very rich.
Hey Jayson - Dude I gotta give it up for your hot diggity taste in gaming machines. This was spectacular and the time was so appropriate because I took my 1st grader to the arcade at Pinstack Bowling yesterday and we spent the entire time playing Arcade Halo and Jurassic Park shooters. And while that awesome experience was on my mind, you just blew me away with this DOPE arcade machine.
It just took my back to being a kid and biking on my Huffy bike to 7-11 and the neighborhood arcade afterwards to meet my brother and all our friends to basically game all Saturday afternoon and evening blowing out the entire paper route job allowance in one day followed by deep dish Godfathers Pizza and Slurpees afterwards. While I definitely don't have the coin for something as awesome as what you have, I was curious what you think of some of those more affordable bootleg Chinese arcade couch cabinets on Amazon and EBay. They claim to have like thousands of games too but many are repeats. Also, TMNT, Golden Axe and SF II were my favs too. Do you know how some players get random characters like Thundercats, DonaldDuck, and Justice League to pop up on Street Fighter? I've been seeing a bunch of replay videos on TH-cam about that recently.
Thanks again for showing us this tour of your super fine Arcade cabinet.
Oh man, yes! Spending my paper route money on candy at the local 711 then hitting up my favorite arcade. I have the same memories. Incredible times. - So the bootleg Chinese couch cabinets are probably pretty good too, just different. They likely run on a Raspberry Pie, so they won't have the newer console emulators, but I'm sure they'll run MAME and a lot of others. My concern would just be after-purchase care with those, which I would imagine is fairly non-existent, but I could be wrong. I think ppl are modding old ROMS and creating new, hybrid games to get those fighters that have other sprites/characters like Donald Duck. I have an emulator on this machine with some of those games, but they're really unreliable and crash all the time.
14 weeks was a pipe dream. 28 weeks is amazing tho, for what you get. 😂Would love to play The House of the Dead on it or Tekken 3.
Not a patient man but collecting resins? Doesn't add up Jason. 😂
Hahaha this really made me laugh. So true hey? Some things you just have to realize they're going to take forever and just forget about them till they arrive 😂.
Beautiful cabinet!!
Now you need a Stern Godzilla pinball machine. 😁
Haha amazing idea!! If I only had the room.
I've been restoring legit arcade games for about 20 years, and polishing emulator compatibility for just as long. I build legit home cabinets, fixtures, and built-in bookcases by trade.I just built a few prototype pedestals and cabs that are way closer to actual arcade spec and build quality, based on actual machine designs, and before paint, they take less than 8 hours. I don't understand why these take so long unless they're outsourcing EVERYTHING but the build and wiring.
Ive learned their wrap design is overseas, then printed in michigan, and they have a group that basically refines hyperspin for them.
If I get another experienced finish carpenter under me, tell extreme home arcades im coming for them.
That's nuts.
While that's extremely expensive for something that could be done for a lot less, if you have the means and your happy with it, it's money well spent. They did a great job.
That's incredible, i wish i had that 😮
@primecollectibles can you tell me where you found the image of Mai for the side of your cabinet. I can’t seem to find it. Love the collection
It's an Artgerm print of Mai. If you search for Artgerm Mai Shiranui you should find it :)
Awesome review. Im looking to buy a Arcade Machine. Who makes this one you own? Thanks
Thank you!! This is by arcadesrfun.com. I've been really happy with it.
@@PrimeCollectibles thank you 🙏
@@PrimeCollectibles Question you mentioned that there was a second company you were debating between Arcadesrfun & a second company. Which was that other company ? I have a few in mind. Retrocade is one the other is Extreme Arcade.
@junedizzlerocks Man I can't remember anymore to be honest but Extreme Arcade does sound familiar. There was something called a Megacade or something? Sorry it's just been a while now.
@@PrimeCollectibles no worries. Thank you 🙏
Bro the spinner will be for tempest ..give it a go its brilliant ..
Ohh awesome! Ok will do. Thanks :)
This is one of the best set ups I’ve seen for a single arcade cab. Kudos on that brother. In my opinion it’s definitely worth the 10G’s 👍🏼
Thank you so much man! I completely agree. For me, it's everything I wanted and more.
20:45 Hey, what?! How is the overlay/bezel cycling through different pictures for the same game?! I have Launchbox/BigBox and MAME, and I've never seen this before
I have no idea! Maybe a different version of the software? Wish I had more insight.
I wonder how this compares to Game room Solutions. I’m looking at their model R
Just curious if it has all the Sega arcade classics like Daytona, Space Harrier, The House of the Dead, LA Machine Guns etc?
Ohhh yes. It has them all :)
Nah that is mad!! Literally a dream arcade machine ! 🎉
🙏🙏❤
Great arcade; the games you highlighted are very much a gateway into my childhood as well. Between your gaming, old cartoon and anime tastes, we must be similarly aged 😄. It's like looking back on my own childhood. Price seems steep given the ROMs and emulators are pretty much freely available if you know where to look, although I really have no idea of the cost of producing the physical product itself between the cabinet/displays/sticks/light guns etc. Definitely a great piece to have as a collector though.
Thanks for the vid 👍
Thanks man! Yeah agreed on all fronts here. I'm a 1978 baby, what about you?
That’s so awesome makes me wanna sell all my arcade 1ups and just buy this !
Yeah, it's pretty incredible! Having a bunch of Arcade1Ups can be cool too though. Feels more like a little arcade.
Thank you for taking me back in time. All the games you went through were my favourites as well
Street Fight vs Marvel
Sunset Riders
TMNT
Golden Axe 🔥
Simpsons
Was just hoping to see Die Hard lol. Awesome review. 💯💯💯
Oh shoot! Die Hard!! Good call. Will need to do that one next. MvC2 100% as well. - Glad you enjoyed :D
I wanna see you make a short video playing one of my favorite games: Crazy Climber, where you have to use 2 joysticks. Then test it with Robotron and all the Crazy Climber sequels like Hyper and part 2.
Haha ok, I'll try to get to that one of these days. Definitely an amazing game.
I bought one of this couple years ago, but now am interested in selling it :(
Do you know any company that buy’s use custom arcade?
Oh no kidding! What area of the world are you in? I can ask around.
That's a much nicer experience than my setup but much of that $10,000 is because someone else setup the software and of course the pirated games.
mind providing a link on where you purchased the machine from
Sure! www.arcadesrfun.com
Awesome cab, does this have berserk and Robotron?
I used to build those all the time, put a bunch of emulators on it and have some fun
Greeaat video. I think eswat was Sega Tryna get the robocop licensed
Back then but data east ended up getting it. So they just reskinned what they had and released a nice rolling thunder type game
Oh man, that makes so much sense! I definitely see both the Rolling Thunder and Robocop vibes. Turned out to be a pretty killer game regardless.. unless it's just my nostalgia lol.
No one is better than Xtreme Gaming Cabinets (XGC) from Australia, mine 4-player with 8 buttons for player one and two, with 40,000 games, Sinden recoil light guns, Coin Door, led buttons, trackball, pinball buttons, external USBs, Lunchbox/Bigbox and Hyperspin for $2,300 plus $1,400 for shipping. It is still way cheaper. The Beast one (70,000+ games) comes with more stuff and it is more cheaper than this one. $10,000 is too much.
Year later. What you think about it now? Still dig it?
Still love it! I don't play it every day or even week, but when I have friends over it's still a go-to.
Awesome room. It was worth it.
Haha thanks! Agreed.
*That's MR.BIGG.*
if you could do it all over again would you buy this cabinet again?if so would you stick with the same company you purchased from or would you go with extreme home arcades?
Yeah, it's a fair question. I do love this, but I have had some issues with it.. buttons not working with certain games and having to get tech to log in and fix. Light games not linking up properly. Honestly, I don't know if that's just the nature of a system that uses emulators though. It'll never be perfect. At least they've been pretty quick to help with issues.
Cool, but there is wayyyyy to much going on with all the stick, buttons and whatnot and then getting all them custom buttons mapped to work with every game is a PITA.
Which company did you get this machine from?
This is from arcadesrfun.com
Awesome machine! Great video
$8000 is a family vacation.
Wish I could afford it.
Glad you are enjoying your arcade! You could have saved a ton by building one yourself and learning the process of both the hardware and software. There is a ton of information online and communities for everything you could want to know. I know that's not for everyone, but you're going to pay a premium if you avoid the DIY route.
For sure, I've heard that. If this ever dies on me, ill go that route next time!
Is it possible to install two trackballs on the control panel 🤔
Good question! My guess is, if you asked for it, they would.
Has it got streetfigher rainbow edition 1,2,3? And all the other hacked version of street fighter? Them versions were the reason I bought my mame arcade machine
Oh man, I wasn't even aware of them until this comment. That's really cool, I'll need to look those up. While it doesn't have those, it has a few "aftermarket" SF games and mash ups with some crazy characters you can fight with, but they tend to crash the system.
So inspiring, thank you for sharing
I appreciate that. Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
If you’re into modern design, I build a pretty neat wall mounted cabinet for Umbrella Arcades. It runs 25,000 games, and has a decent PC paired with a 1440p LG monitor. The actual cabinet is made of 16 gauge powder coated steel.
Compared to their 2 player cabinet, it’s a decent improvement in terms of components.
This sounds awesome! I'll look into it. Thanks.
Pics?
I don't know much about emulation but deep down I would love it if it could be the real thing instead of emulation if that's even possible? can you tell the difference graphics wise? or in its playability? thanks for uploading this video wondering what company should I go with if and when I purchase one.
I only know that I have run MAME on my PC and those ROMS are the arcade ones. Had a lot of issues with running most the ones I wanted, but I was able to get a few working. Other than MAME, those emulators can generate graphics that are equal to or better than the originals (console versions, not arcade ones, but generally the console ones were never close to the arcade versions anyway)
@@francischambless5919 thanks for the clarification I appreciate it.
Absolutely no difference in graphics at all. It's 1:1 for most games (arcade) as far as I can tell. Issue is really that some games just don't quite play perfectly as you get into newer consoles. Still.. pretty great for the sheer number of games on here.
The games are the real thing the software just emulates the original hardware so the game roms will run.
@@edstar83 thanks
I was thinking about one of these. You pretty much sealed the deal. I was just wondering if it had ability to play time crisis, area 51, virtual cop and so on
Yess!
@PrimeCollectibles one more question, do you happen to know if or when you guys will be adding silent scope?
@@PrimeCollectibles they'll, sorry
Is that an oled screen? Can it emulate graphics with an accurate CRT look with scanlines ect?
It's an oled from what I remember, yes. I'm sure each individual (or most of) the emulators have the ability to emulate the old CRT look, but it would take some fiddling, and these emulators are pretty finicky as it is.
Haha I used to have my own little hack when it came to bc ferries, but yo your knife trick had me laughin'
LOL brooo, that's so awesome you had the same experience. Those were the good ol days. Full ferry ride of free Golden Axe lol.
I enjoyed your video. I don't have a cabinet but I bought close to 40 terabytes of content and a high end pc. You and I like the same kinds of games. And thankfully there are a few new games coming out that are retro inspired. Cowabunga collection, shredders revenge, final vandetta to name a few. I enjoy 3d games also but the old stuff is what is near and dear to my heart. Make more videos and I'm sure people will watch. Game on
Wait FORTY terabytes or 4 Terabytes? Cuz um 40 is waaaay OVERKILL 🤣
Awesome!! Glad you enjoyed and your setup sounds dope too. I know what you mean, I'm so happy that they're starting to make great retro styled games again. :)
@@gonagai1359 there is no such thing as to much. 40 is just getting started
@@barryklinedinst6233 where did you purchase your 40tb drive? I have a high end PC and would love to add retro gaming. Is it running launchbox or hyperspin?
@devon228ish Chris Shaw runs hyper arcade systems. He's a top notch guy. I had a little trouble getting things going. He got it running and he won't ignore you if you need help

@@garrettspencer3887 Oh shit dude, didn't realize you had a channel. Subbed!
@@PrimeCollectibles oh yea for sure bro
Nice machine!
🙏:)
I have 4 arcades, a neogeo, street fighter 2, and alien Vs predator and a pacman cocktail. a super cabinet would be just too much for me lol. I have a system with emulators and I don't even touch it . that's an awesome setup for sure though
Oh damn, your setup sounds amazing too!! That probably has even more of the full arcade feel than what I've got. I wish I had the room for that.
@@PrimeCollectibles I don't really have the room for it, lol. glad I got a house with a den
ppl are saying it's waaaay overpriced, but start adding up quality joysticks, buttons, guns., additional marque monior, art work... and timely hardware support.
Unfortunately this is a not true. The megacade is a joke TH-cam video really outlines the actual parts you are getting. Bottom of the barrel sticks, buttons, and if you shell out for the Xbox gamepads.....they are knockoffs. As a fight stick enthusiast, I had to look it up myself on their website.....why on earth would someone add leds to seven cent buttons for hundreds of dollars. No indication anywhere of what buttons and levers you are getting......on a ten grand rig but I did see the knock off controllers you can add.
Can't speak for Megacade, but I hand chose all the top components for this one.
Wow, over 200,000 games!
Lotta companies won't even send you a list of their games. That's crazy to me.
How is the light gun in games that use it?
Honestly, I've had some issues with Player 2, but generally speaking, pretty damn good.
Does it have the true multi-player games like NFL Blitz and NBA Jam/Showcase. Those cabinets are 3k to 4k a piece and would make this way more valuable? Imo of course.
Oh yeah, it has all of them! Agreed.
I'm curious why you didn't consider the "Atgames Legends Ultimate". I bought mine used off Craigslist for 350, and even with the "bit LCD" it would only set me back around 700. Was it the larger screen, or maybe the "build quality"?
Honestly, it wasn't even on my radar when I was looking. Sounds like a pretty killer deal.
@@PrimeCollectibles Dude, I seriously respect your passion. Cost aside, the build quality of your setup is light-years ahead of atgames. I like mine, but I'm already looking into plugging in a computer to play later games (the on board setup will only play games up to around the mid 90s). When you add the extra cost adding a modded light gun/steering wheel/control stick/etc, the cost gets up there.
Yeah, I think a lot of the cost of mine comes from the computer running it and the top end hardware. The build quality is definitely up there too. I'm sure a person could build one themselves for cheaper, but there's something nice about just getting it delivered with all the bells and whistles. Until I got this I used to just run emulators on my pc or a raspberry pie-powered device but I figured, I'm in a home I'll likely have for years. Might as well go all out for this one! Thanks for the support and the thoughts man. Always nice to talk to fellow enthusiasts. @@aitrus21
does it fit thru a bedroom door? worried about building with a 50" tv and it wont go up my stairs or into my office door
Some of those games really take me back. Remember Bad Dudes, Ninja Gaiden, Rolling Thunder? As much as I enjoyed them Im a graphics snob and just cant get into alot of the older games now.
Oh man, yeah some of those are great. I still love retro games, I like new, graphically impressive games too, but I don't put them in the same category. To me I can appreciate both types in the way that I can appreciate both live action movies and Anime (for example).
