    Disappointed to read, on 1Ups own site, that the Asteroids/Tempest cab is borked with a utter sh1te spinner.
    It's not even a proper spinner, despite those being readily available, it's some of clicky plastic thing.
    Perhaps it could be swapped out but, at the prices this is selling for, it's another reason not to buy one.

    I was all for the Tempest cab but the reviews have put me right off.
    Think I'll give these a miss.

    I actually like it! It eliminates the weakest part of the product and gives it an entirely new purpose!

    Of course on the Speccy the primary colours were 'sort of blue' ,'radioactive pink' and 'nuclear custard yellow'


    To be fair for us on the commodore 64 they were Brown,Brown,Reddish Brown .

    €200 in GameStop. Video from John Hancock that his video output is faulty, the few I've watched about these really aren't positive. The trackball is dodgy, the control panel is easily worn etc.

    200 euro?
    How hard would it be too hook a Pi 3 up to this?
    The street fighter one is in limerick might go in.

    It says free delivery on them, shouldn't be an issue? Only two of them available now.

    Looks like these may be very easy to hack, soldering on a USB cable to the board and plugging in a keyboard seems to be giving more games and some configuration options on some cabs

    I pulled the trigger on a Street Fighter 2, the want/need threshold was nullified with the price drop :)

    Has anyone pulled the trigger on these? Seems a very good price. Are these well packaged up for trasit would be my only concern? Little to no in store availability.

    Been reading up a bit more, some of the different cabs/boards seem to have config files (not roms) from games they tested
    e.g. street fighter board has config files for: 1942, 1944, asteroid, bwidow, ccastles, centiped, defender, ffight, gauntlet, gng, gngt, joust, liberatr, llander, milliped, missle, mk2, rampage, sbrkout, sf2ce, ssf2, ssf2t, strider, striderusa, and tempest.

    So I've a feeling these will become very hackable shortly. The original street fighter cab was meant to have SF2, Strider, Final Fight & Ghosts N Goblins, and when they were dropped my interested dropped as well but looking forward to getting sick of SF2 and hopefully by then going back & putting Strider on it...oh the plans I have but won't have the time....

    The packaging is decent with the monitor in the middle so I wouldn't worry about getting it delivered

    I finished the mod and can now play all my old arcade favourites alongside NES, SNES, Megadrive, Gameboy and PS1

    the only issue I had was that the screws on the paddles were glued on so I had to use a lighter to soften them up before replacing with the better ones

    Cool! Yeah I went for the Spade invaders cab in the end. The artwork on these look nice and hopefully it'll play well.
    Hopefully won't take too long to arrive! For €200 I think it's a good price compared what they were upon release and probably would have cost me more to build.

    It seems the artworks on the controller panel are prone to wear, I believe you can contact 1Up for a clear cover to over the artwork. Could probably get a clear film and do it yourself too.
