Arcade1up Time Crisis - 1 Year Later Is It Worth It?

[@Real_Sgt_Tom]

One of my favorite types of arcades that I wish would come back 100 percent today.

[@PATRIOT904]

Shooting games are awesome. Fun one to watch.

[@PDX7]

Thanks Patriot 👊

[@JohnE.Blayze]

Thanks to you, my T2 has been my favorite ever since the RS mod

[@PDX7]

Thanks John E, it’s the best thing to ever happen to T2 😎

[@mikeyyoon]

Hey Phil! I seriously wonder where they get these suggested retail prices. If they just priced these things reasonably they would sell very well. Look at when they used to be $300 starting price. Very nice review! I agree I think the screen is way too small for a shooter much like all their shooting games. Also, it would've been so cool if it had online coplay. Looking forward to the livestream tonight

[@PDX7]

Hey Mikey, could you imagine how cool an online co play on shooting games would be :) I was thinking when I was playing they should make one for the Punisher 👊

[@Arcade_Dave]

Wow awesome video . It’s like you’re reading my mind because I was debating picking up the cabinet this week when I saw the sale at Target. Looks like a fun game lineup. I have so much nostalgia for Time Crisis.

[@PDX7]

Hey Dave, keep an eye on the next sale coming up hopefully it beats the 575 markdown. Thanks for watching 👊

[@Arcade_Dave]

@@PDX7 Amazon has it for $449.00 right now. Very Tempting.

[@dxqx3794]

It would have been neat if they included Ghoul Panic as one of the games. It's my favorite PS1 Namco gun game. It's basically Point Blank but set in a haunted house. It's so much fun! Give it a shot if you get the chance.

[@PDX7]

Thank you I will :)

[@fourthhorseman04]

Great video! Adding this to cab to my watch list

[@PDX7]

Nice! Thanks Fourth Horseman 👊 Did you pick up another BBH yet?

[@stokjock]

Phil, Great review on the games that came with the cabinet. Can't wait to meet up with you in Chicago! See you in a few days!

[@PDX7]

Thanks Stokjock, looking forward to seeing you 👊

I just recently discovered your channel, and it's awesome. I just subscribed. Keep up the great work!

Hey there's me at 3:24 at the top of the leaderboards with 0 Story Mode damage! (the leaderboard just shows a blank spot instead of the actual number 0 for some reason).

[@PDX7]

Dude that’s incredible! Thanks for pointing your score out I’ll look for it :)

[@Badgers_9]

Great video. Just ordered this so good to see your view after having the cab for a while. (20% off in the UK on Prime Day. First sale I have seen here)

[@PDX7]

Great pickup :) Thank you for watching and I hope you love having Time Crisis!

[@ThePaagshim]

I feel like this had all the makings of being the best cab they ever made. It has the size and the true to life look with a good games list. They could of made it truely a unique and memorable piece if they just would of gave it a bigger monitor and im not talking 19 inch because i dont think that would been enough . Something like a 21 inch would of been great in this thing and justified the price. Great vid man

[@PDX7]

Thanks Paagshim, I agree man with all the hype and leaks on this it could’ve been the best one to date and I think it fell short. It’s a fun cool cab to have, but they could’ve done better.

[@juliohernandez3668]

Good morning Phil, ah I remember when time crisis was announced the excitement I had in getting it. The cab is beautiful and the replay value is there. I remember watching your review and I did end up waiting for it to drop in price and also because of you I got the riser booster for it. I really like all the games included. One thing that they should have done was include the 19 in monitor to justify the price. But it’s one of the best cabs from arcade1up without a doubt 👊🏼

[@PDX7]

Good Morning Julio, I’m glad you got Time Crisis too 👊 You and I have most of the same and someday if they’re not available anymore we can look back and say I’m glad I bought when I did. Yes some fall short, but for the most part we have Time Crisis!

[@cjbobo66]

Was thinking about getting it, was a toss up between this and golden axe for my birthday grabbed golden axe because of your review and got a really good deal on it

[@PDX7]

Thank you for taking my review into consideration on purchasing Golden Axe, it means a lot 👊 It’s a great decision Time Crisis will be around for a long time. Thank you for watching CJ :)

[@JeffMercedesC]

One year later, and Time Crisis is still my favorite out of the 15 Arcade1up machines I own.

[@PDX7]

Nice! It’s a one of a kind cab, probably my favorite of the shooters. Thank you for watching Jeff 👊

[@NintendoPlayer307]

I am shock to see an obscure Namco titles getting the Arcade1Up, would be cool if Tekken got the same treatment

[@PDX7]

I have a feeling Tekken could be next

[@ginobozzi3954]

I have this and T2 in a box haven’t put them together yet. I don’t remember Time Crisis in the arcade that much. Though I played a lot of T2 and T2 pinball classic games back in the day. The thing about these light gun games hard to recreate them. I think they are worth it down the road.

[@PDX7]

I do too Gino, I didn’t play TC 1 only TC2 was available for me to play. Because of that it feels like a rare one to have so I’m glad I got it. Could’ve been better, but still very fun to have :)

[@ericvonbergen7223]

Totally agree that the screen should be higher. The screen should be 19" esp with no artwork on the bezel. Thats a missed opportunity. Its a great idea to review your cabs 1 year later. Good content. Seems like it was a good decision. I'm still waiting on BSA RS, SF2 integration. LOL. Which shooting cab is your favorite? T2 with the RS BSA mod? Or Time Crisis? I think its cool you have both.

[@PDX7]

Hi Eric, I hope BSA sends out your SF2 kit soon it looks like they’re now available. If it was stock I would choose Time Crisis compared to T2, but with everything on T2 now and 19” monitor I’d pick T2. It’s nice to have TC remain stock when I want to switch it up sometimes. It’s good to hear from you 👊

[@ericvonbergen7223]

​@PDX7 yeah I'd definitely keep TC as stock too

[@PDX7]

@ericvonbergen7223 hard to give up the arcade roms :)

[@baldmar5083]

Point Blank is my favorite out of the bunch, this cab is not in the cards for me. 19" monitor would be a nice addition!! Good you enjoy playing and had fun! Enjoy the weekend 👊

[@PDX7]

Thanks Mark, I hope you have a great weekend too 👊

[@HungrywolfGarou]

The cab definitely stands out and looks great! Thankfully, I didn't pay the full retail and got a good deal early on from Wayfair. The guns work great, and the games are all fun. I think Time Crisis is my favorite on the cab, with Point Blank right behind it. I'd never played Point Blant before I had this, so I'm glad it exposed me to the game.

[@PDX7]

I am too Ryan, I haven’t had any experience with it either. Did you raise yours up at all?

[@HungrywolfGarou]

@@PDX7 i didn't raise it up. I might in the future, especially since that riser looks nice.

[@PDX7]

@HungrywolfGarou just watch out for the ceiling:)

[@carlo1132]

Its a real nice cabinet, if pricey, prob the last one they do thats daring, the JD era.

[@daviddeming1916]

Awesome video!! Now let's get to the GT/Midway review video!! 👊....I have yet to set a high score on Time Crisis....even on easy settings Im still not fast enough ......have you set a high score yet?

[@PDX7]

Thank you Dave, I’m working on it today and I promise by Tuesday it will be uploaded 👊 Unfortunately I haven’t I’m not quick enough either :)

[@GreatMewtwo]

7:14 Wow. They actually call themselves Namco in "Steel Gunner" rather than BNEI.

[@PDX7]

Maybe they sold the license

[@TheBigb1973]

I modded my blitz cab with mini pc and added 8 way happ joysticks. playing blitz,blitz99, blitz 2000 gold, and nba showtime. I now have the late hits lol

[@PDX7]

Dude that’s awesome! The way blitz was made to be played :)

[@atranfanatic]

It's a cool looking cabinet. Even though I've never been the biggest shooter gun fan. I do appreciate the games and such. And will probably get a Guns4IR setup on my PC modded TMNT multi-cade cabinet.The games look fun though great review!

[@PDX7]

That would be perfect for your TMNT cab Atran, everything on one!

[@atranfanatic]

@@PDX7 Yeah it'll get there man. Just a slow process and I've been focusing on my T2 flight cabinet recently. lol

[@PDX7]

@atranfanatic take your time on T2, this is your bucket list cabinet 👊

[@atranfanatic]

@@PDX7 Oh for sure I will man. Still trying to find somebody to do the custom graphics. Probably will hit up Tulsa arcades on the phone here sometime. As it looks like they have the T2 Arcade1up template to make custom artwork!

[@PDX7]

@atranfanatic it’s good they have the measurements for T2 they could do anything for it, dude Thanks for hanging out last night 👊

[@Taz44244]

Where did you get the platform extender? Do you have a link for this?

[@PDX7]

Hi Buystuff Arcades

[@ThomasGrillo]

I was just about sickened when I learned all these shooters were only going to have a 17" display. There's no way for me to see a tiny monitor from the distance you have to be to use even the pistol guns. For me, these would have to have a 25" monitor, at the minimum. So, I'm just going get Retro Shooter, and use one of my large panels. LOL Thanks for the gameplay, and talk. :)

[@PDX7]

Hi Thomas, that might be the best way to play RS on a big tv. It’s a bummer we only get 17” monitors with these shooters. Have a great Saturday :)

[@TheFamousKingFamily]

This is one of my favorite cabinets in my collection

[@PDX7]

It’s a very special cabinet, Thanks for watching!

[@UToobin75]

Seems like there's a lag between the trigger pull and on-screen action, which would ruin the experience for me. Accuracy and no lag is key. And honestly the entire Time Crisis and Point Blank series should've been included, especially at that price point.

[@AxfNPn3l]

The lag is frustrating even just watching it nvm playing. However, I don't have any experience with modern light gun setups so I'm not sure how good or bad this is in relation.

[@PDX7]

I agree for the price more games should’ve been included.

[@bri.g.5105]

I added 19in monitor and got upgradearcade sinden mini pc shooter mod. So got tons of gun games. Love the cab.

[@PDX7]

I’m jealous :) did you sell your 17” monitor?

[@NYParanormalInvestigation]

How u add more games

[@gothamcityarcade]

Great video, ias always! I need the price to come to 499.99 as well for fast & Furious the prices are too high for arcade1up cab! I have been of support to this company since Oct 2018 and watched this company go down the drain is insane! Be easy PD7...

[@PDX7]

Thanks GCA 👊 how long has it been since you picked up anything from 1up? Bro Thank you for being here since day 1 my friend 👊

[@gothamcityarcade]

@PDX7 i have two different purchases... 1) The last new cab was the MVc2 and NFL Blitz during they launch year (2022).. 2) MK3 cab and Defender Partycade during 2023. My total amount cab is around 52 or 54 cab total outside the Atgames Ultimate cab, Unico/Mvsx cab, At games pinball and two Gottlieb pinball tables..

[@PDX7]

@gothamcityarcade man that’s awesome:)

[@PeterSimpson666]

If you didn't have the T2 cabinet, would you install the Retro Shooter mod on Time Crisis?

[@PDX7]

Yes I probably would have, that kit saved me from parting with T2 it’s a great add on for any of the 3 lightguns.

[@PeterSimpson666]

How does the game play of Time Crisis on T2 compare with Time Crisis on the Arcade1Up cabinet and do you loose the attract mode?

[@PDX7]

@PeterSimpson666 pretty similar except T2 is the PlayStation TC

[@DropPCTV]

One of the only ones I regret not buying. My T2 gets played a lot even by me. If this goes on sale I probably will pick it up. And yes it’s only a toy not an investment and that’s fine by me. Real arcades are way to heavy,big,requires work often I like these toys. They fill the void,really for display except the few times company is over.

[@PDX7]

They work for me too :) I hope you come across one on sale, Ali express did have one for around 449

[@JackCrispy]

Dude, Deadpool wasn't that big back in the day and ninja themes were everywhere in video games. Deadpool and a lot of these comic characters never took off until their recent movies, which made them mainstream. But it's your video and your opinion, so I get it.

[@PDX7]

Your right he wasn’t that big back then, the boss just reminded me of him :) Thanks for watching 🥷

Does it have any option for shaders/scanlines?

[@PDX7]

Yes you can change it to scanlines on any of the 4 games.

[@ytyndale3643]

@@PDX7 Anytime, I just play lightgun games on my CRT tv with ps2. So many great PS1 and ps2 lightgun games and the Guncon 1 and 2 are very accurate for them. I also have the Konami hyper blaster for games like lethal enforcers 1 and 2 and area 51. Highly recommend the CRT route and collecting PS1 and ps2 shooting games.

[@cybereye9283]

That pedals look like not made for humans for standing up on the pedals pressing down. I couldn't see the side view. The real TC pedal is about 30°angle. It feel natural to standing up and releasing the pedals for a short time otherwise your not going to standing up natural for a long period of time.

[@PDX7]

I’m sorry I didn’t get a shot of the side, it doesn’t feel bad stepping on it although it did move on the floor a little when I was playing.

[@DeVstatrOmga]

If it ever falls at the $300 price range I'd pick one up. Looks like fun. I just don't see myself paying for an Arcade1Up cab that costs more than a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X.
