Great review Patrick! totally agree with all your points and I also think this is one of my fav cabs! I dont mind the missile command controls and also think tempest looks awesome on this cab. btw this the first time ive seen you without a hat lol

[@WWRNC]

I agree. It’s the best legacy cab and one of the best they’ve ever made in general.

[@dbogieman9094]

I can’t wait to get my Atari Legacy cab. As a 50 year old, this cabinet represents hanging out at the arcade in my youth. Thanks for the in-depth review, I appreciate the details of the cab and your experience playing it.

[@zangmaster]

Tempest is one of my favorite arcade games of all time. These are cool, but they'll never have that same effect as the actual old arcades. Like I was playing asteroids one time and I was like man I need some shades for this game lol

[@geneg136]

Finally got around to assembling mine last night and not sure if anyone posted this yet as there’s so many comments to scroll through but when I installed my marquee, I didn’t install the dowels I just used the screws on each side - this allowed me to tilt the marquee to be angled properly like the original cabinet. On the top filler panel I just trimmed the length of where it is notched and it slides in perfectly into the cabinet slots since the tilted Marquee doesn’t need as long of a panel. You have a bit of a gap between the marquee and the speakers now but you don’t notice at all from your viewing angle. Looks way better and the way it should’ve come from factory!

appreciate the feedback but the 'white' color on the cabinet and control panel are bright white - the trackballs is a dirty ivory. trackball should've been bright white in my opinion.

I like the smaller size makes Missile Command easier to control.

The trackball is that color in the original Centipede cabinet and in the trackballs released for the Atari 2600 and 5200 consoles, so it is accurate.

It IS a beautiful cab....... great work as always PDubs!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Yes Arcade1up fans should enjoy this one

[@phillychick]

The original Tempest arcade spinner didn't spin freely like the GRS spinner either. Also, spinning too quickly in Tempest doesn't help much, especially when pulsars come out to play starting Level 17 (i.e., the red tubes). I have no issues playing with the stock spinner in the higher levels for Tempest.

Personally I prefer playing like a madman and would prefer a spinner that is just as crazy 🤪. Glad you enjoy yours thanks for sharing

[@rickhoes6326]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft Key word in that statement is "I". Then maybe you shouldn't tell everyone they would have to replace the spinner because YOU prefer to play like a madman.

[@cmart7307]

Another RAD review PDubs! I absolutely love the Tempest cab! The spinner works fine and I got a full rotation around the map off of one spin while playing Tempest. I haven't installed the GRS spinner yet because the GRS Trackball wasn't as good as the stock.. yeah I know that's weird. It might have something to do with taking out the jumper like what you have to do on the Partycade. It worked fine in the menu but during gameplay the sensitivity was way off.. it was almost as if I was using the OG trackball on the Partycade. Missle Command LOL Just Get Good! Yes it's a bit weird using the second player select button as opposed to using the three button layout on the right side but I got use to it. Then again like I said being a lefty in a right handed world forced me to be ambidextrous so I've been able to try both sides without issue. All in all I'm so glad I scooped this up! I have added a subwoofer for a little more punch, eclipse led buttons, I'm waiting on a 3d printed coin door, Govee RGBIC led strips underneath the marquee and black carbon fiber vinyl tape for the tmolding just to give it a personal touch. Keep up the great work and game On my brotha!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

I think with practice I could get good at the missile command here - it's just weird for awhile with how they have it set up. Should've just put a different game on here

[@cmart7307]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft I honestly think they could have just put three buttons on the left side and left the second player button alone. There's definitely enough room on the panel that way you could have at least have a choice on how you wanted to play.

[@videogamevegasYeOldeAccount]

PDubs, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REVIEW! I held off getting this one to possibly upgrade my Atari 12 in 1 (Centipede/Asteroids) machine, because I REALLY WANT THAT TEMPEST CABINET DESIGN. Sigh. But still, I'd rather hear the whole truth than to get burned again. Thank you for your honesty. The only thing, besides the design I wanted from this cabinet, was that incredible monitor upgrade. Oh well, maybe next iteration :) I agree with you on Missile Command. Owning and playing so many hours of Missile Command on the original Atari 12 in 1, it would feel to weird to me. It's supposed to take you back to the arcade. Bummer. As for Lunar Lander... I grew up playing the original arcade cabinet with the original analog throttle controller. I played so much Lunar Lander in the Arcade, my opinion may be a bit more critical. Arcade1up's digital button solution to act as the throttle wasn't satisfactory to me (neither was that crappy clicky dial they used instead of a spinner). And I know Arcade1up isn't going to put out a dedicated Lunar Lander cab, but this is a game they shouldn't have attempted having known this. Don't get me wrong, I had some fun playing Lunar Lander on the Atari 12 in 1, it is playable with a digital button, but I always felt like it was the joke entry on the cabinet. But you know what would've been cool? Have you seen those transition levers found on video mixers? They move forward and back, the same motion you'd see on a Lunar Lander throttle. Picture the gear shift on Arcade1up's Outrun cabinet (only smaller), but set flat on a control panel. I think this would've been a great solution for Lunar Lander. As an aside, I'm also glad they replaced Quantum. I liked that game in the Arcade, but Arcade1up, though the Atari 12 in 1 had the proper physical controls to play it, butchered the calibration and it felt nothing like the arcade version. Too bad Code Mystics wasn't working with Arcade1up back then. Space Duel is a good consolation price, I love me some Space Duel, but I've never heard of Akka Arra until they announced this cabinet. I hope it's fun. Always good to give Glen some love, I have his spinner in my Atari 12 in 1. It's a shame that Arcade1up couldn't have worked with Glen, possibly offering a higher price skew of this cabinet with his spinner for those of us willing to pay a little more for quality. Arcade1up keeps talking about possibly offering different quality tiers of cabinets, but unfortunately it's been all talk. This Tempest Atari Legacy cab would've been a great opportunity for that. Gosh, I talked your ear off again, but you make such solid reviews that you deserve a good comment. Thanks again for all you do and have a great one! vgv

Definitely the nicest looking Cab by Arcade 1Up. So much effort goes in the replicating the look but Arcade 1 Up seem to have a different design team working on the riser. The requirement by the later team must make sure their design must totally clash with the faithfully replicated cabinet. Bonkers!!

I got mine today from Game Stop. I found a couple things different from my old 12 in 1. Aspect ratio is inaccurate in some of the games (Tempest narrow, Centipede wide, etc), sound is muffled (probably from location rather than quality) and was really surprised that Major Havoc is controlled by the trackball rather than the spinner. The display is a lot sharper as well.

[@BigWillTheMill]

good review Pdubs. I admit that the new cabinet looks great but I really dont see a reason for me at least to get rid of my 12 in 1 for this. with upgraded controls my cabinet plays well and looks just as great. Plus , I happen to enjoy Lunar Lander.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I don't think in the review I said folks should upgrade at all. Review was for those most likely who don't own the other atari, those are super super hard to find these days.

[@DannyWelch]

Thanks for the great review. I agree the controls for Missile Command are just bad. The arcade machine has the trackball on the right and buttons on the left. They really should have sprung for one more button and put 3 on each side. Also should have put them a bit closer together and moved the middle button up a touch. I think that would have been more comfortable. The audio in Asteroids is off. When you fire, the audio for the shot triggers twice (also happens with the UFO's fire). Asteroids Deluxe does not have that glitch. Hopefully we'll see a firmware fix, but I won't hold my breath.

[@nrnoble]

Thanks for the review. I am a Tempest snob because I've owned the real Mccoy since 1983. What is puzzling t is 1up not putting in a decent spinner, especially since the entire cab theme is Tempest; it's not like Tempest is a game they threw into there as a free-be extra. And its not "Opps, we overlooked that minor detail, sorry maybe next time". For whatever justification, they selected that specific spinner. Could be they approached Glen, and asked "We love your spinner and want it" but a deal could not be reached, or manufacturing would have taken a lot longer to meet the number requested. Or, more likely, it all came down to the cost\profit of the chosen spinner. I have speculated that they selected a cheap spinner because they know collectors will replace the spinner anyway, and non-collector will not care no matter how bad the spinner might be. But, I really have no idea.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Hey Neal thanks for the comment. My personal feelings were in the video however many owners in all honesty feel the spinner included is more than sufficient and arcade accurate. I just prefer to play like a madman

[@alexshdvideo]

I was hot for this cab until I saw the button layout. Honestly I’ll stick with my Partycade Asteroids (8 game), Partycade Pac-Man (4 game though newer ones are 8 games) and Centipede Partycade (4 games) swapped Ralph’s Retro Trackball. (Good). Because of button layouts. Though Tempest is weakest on the Asteroids Partycade since it’s close to the side and close to my knuckles.

[@CompleteGeekTV]

Great review pdubs and the cab looks very good. I've been almost debating cancelling my pre-order just because all the other cabs coming. It's so hard to just keep purchasing and making space. I'm really trying to be picky about only getting my favorites of all time at this point. Oh the struggle

[@rickhoes6326]

I still have those two cabs as well as the Tempest. Those two do need the GRS, Tempest, does not. It is weighted and free-spinning just like the original arcade. Don't take everyone's opinions seriously unless you've weighed it against plenty of others to verify. If you check other vids on the cab, you can see everyone else has zero issues with it. I'll be posting my demo later today.

[@validcore]

Have the original 12 in 1 & can't wait for mine. They picked the right games to get rid of, especially Lunar Lander with no analog controls. Quantum was fun & would've benefited from the difficulty more than any other game. HIGH score Saves!!! Can't wait to see the John Connor Missle Command game over screen again instead of entering my high score just to be erased.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Appreciate the comment and opinion!

[@ArcadeFreak-gw5rp]

It is an absolutely beautiful cabinet, BUT Tempest is a vertical game and the monitor in this cabinet is horizontal, they should have sacrificed the horizontal games and put all vertical games on that cab. It’s not an authentic experience playing it like that. Bad job arcade 1up should have been vertical.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Appreciate and understand the feedback as I stated in the video the mix and match of games on here will bother some.

[@mikahundin]

At $315 now without the riser at Walmart, although I found online deals from last year where it went for about $250 with the riser during a sale. But either way, I like what Arcade1Up is finally doing with their new cabinets adding WiFi and Global Scoring Boards through the internet -- so I will wait. That feature of head to head online gaming (in their new Street Fighter and perhaps other games) and the global top score tables is worth the extra $ to me for updated cabinets. I do wonder why a true vector graphics monitor is not viable for retro asteroids, tempest, battle zone, etc type games. Can anyone make such a cabinet? Would the tech be too expensive? Thanks for your review!

[@66stroker60]

I would look to make sure your spinner isn't binding. I got their 2nd gen spinner and it spins 30 seconds freely, I couldn't count how many rotations. It would be weird if they made a third gen that went cheap again. Obviously Glens is the way to go, I can see he's not everyone wanting to spend the money on a brand new cabinet

Thanks for the review. I'll definitely be replacing that spinner. I have a GRS spinner, on hand, at the ready. I'm also going to have to do something about that monitor. It DOES bother me, considerably, to know I'm paying for an iconic machine, who's marquee title is being presented smaller, on a 4:3 aspect (wrong) type of monitor. I really wish Arcade1up would STOP mixing formats on us. Well, off to Amazon, I go, in search of a Fresnel lens to magnify the screen. Geez. Still waiting for mine, by the way.

[@mrmojorisin8752]

For some of us, even assembling these things is a bit of a nuisance. Therefore I see a red flag when I see a recommendation that the spinner and track-ball be replaced. To say that the included spinner is better than the unplayable spinner from a few years back is no compliment at all! Also, glad you mentioned the button layout on Missile Command. It’s a crucial game in the line up and the button lay out is a pretty big deal. In all, a good review.

Great review, though I strongly disagree with their choice (or was it an oversight?) to make it impossible to reset high scores. Same problem on the Namco Legacy. IMO, a high score save feature, but without the ability to reset them back to factory, is only a half-implementation of the feature. There are many reasons why one might want to nuke their high score table, and not being able to do so is a major annoyance!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Either black or at least a clean white! Lol just my opinion. Thank you for the comments and feedback!

[@MichaelSmith-fd9ec]

Mine was just delivered you timed this just for me thanks Pdubs! Will you do a follow up switching out the spinner? Or is it pretty simple? This and Star Wars (for me) are the two best looking games. Where do you rank it overall?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Yes I will do a video swapping out the spinner. And in the looks department definitely up there with Star Wars

[@PlisskensRun]

I pre ordered mine back in January and STILL havent gotten it yet... WTH :(

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Gamestop is a hot mess

[@PlisskensRun]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft Yeah it's quite upsetting. From the get go I knew there would be problems with GameStop and knows their past. Why not use Walmart I did that whit the Starwars cabinet and no problems.

[@1teamski]

I actually sold my old 12 in 1 for this one even though it had a new spinner (from A1U) and a lit marquee. I just couldn't pass up the Tempest cabinet.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

It is quite lovely to look at!

[@briansloane5405]

is there a scanline option for Crystal Castles?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

No

[@MG-jz3ur]

Now that you’ve had it for 10 months, is it worth $450 for someone in the fence? Any issues? Are stock controls crap?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Stock controls are fine but I always upgrade to GRS controls cause I enjoy them

[@MG-jz3ur]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft cab still holds up though? No issues? And GRS doesn’t make a spinner for this correct?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@MG-jz3ur no issues. Grs spinner is going through final testing will be released soon

[@MG-jz3ur]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft awesome. Thanks.

[@ien2023]

Thanks for review. ..Can't wait to put Dell 20" vertical mount on mine and make things wrong with this cab. Is the cab width same as other A1up cabs?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Yes same width

[@BoltZillaPlays]

Weird that their "updated" spinner isn't free spinning. I had bought one off their site previously for the 12in1 frankenstein cab I had put together and it worked great. Wonder if they changed something or if something is over tightened?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Perhaps. As I showed in the video it will spin just about 1.5 rotations before it stops. I'm only able to review the unit that I have.

[@BoltZillaPlays]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft Yea weird. I tagged you on facebook to the video of mine spinning just to show you the difference.

[@robdavis4777]

Best looking of the bunch for sure. But since I have the gen 1 centipede went with Mortal Kombat because of the game list.

[@kantidinda6218]

Cabinet is one of the best ever

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Appreciate the feedback my dude!

[@RetroFett]

Now down to $250 on Amazon! Unbelievable

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Crazy right

[@justimagine2403]

Well... the spinner is the ONLY reason I would have gotten this. I will just have to make my own cab.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Always fun to do a DIY

[@IntoTheVerticalBlank]

Need Food Fight, but yeah!

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Lol I don't hear people talk about food fight much

[@IntoTheVerticalBlank]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft It's a GEM. If you could load the rom on here and configure the Trak-ball for runninf and spinner for throwing, it would rock! Can this be modded to add roms?

[@williamridgley6476]

is glenns spinner gonna fit?

[@truthinentertainment1028]

Been waiting for a detailed review from somebody on this cabinet. Thank you so much! My only complaint, from what I've seen, is that they should've put Quantum on there. It could've taken the place of Akka Arrh that nobody knows about and I hear is decent but not great. I like the idea of a game that really utilizes the trackball and a rare game like Quantum is that game. As far as Missle Command, I think you make a great case for replacing that with Lunar Lander due to the controls. Also, I agree that this cabinet looks the best from the legacy line. Now, all that said... I honestly think I want that 12-in-1 Centipede cabinet, more so...

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

This is wonderful feedback thank you for sharing!

[@ArtMonkey5150]

Any defective encoder boards?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Not for me, for others yes

[@franklaronca3653]

Tried to put GRS spinner on this and its not compatible. Been talking to Glenn about a solution

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Really? Didn't know that - we need that!

[@franklaronca3653]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft Yeah it fits just fine but the pinouts are totally different. Glen reached out to A1U with no response (shocking) so hes looking for someone to send him a board to do tests on

@@franklaronca3653 very interesting!

[@franklaronca3653]

@@PDubsArcadeLoft One thing that works and looks great is the GRS trackball. Plug and play. Have no clue why they included such an ugly yellow trackball with that cab
