Time Crisis Arcade 1 Up Review. Almost the best replica cabinet they've ever made.

Time Crisis is Arcade 1 Ups latest Light Gun 3/4 scale replica featuring Time Crisis, Steel Gunner 1-2 and Point Blank.
With one of their higher price tags of $749.99, it's a hard decision for such an amazing game and cabinet design.

I have owned my Time Crisis arcade machine for 8 months now and it is still my favorite to play out of the 15 Arcade1up machines I own.

[@ForestTekkenVideos]

I was really surprised it didn't have all the time crisis games. There are so many! 1, 2, 3, 4, crisis zone, and more I'm sure!

[@SK91NO]

They'd be pretty tough to emulate, and they definitely aren't porting them

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Aside from Crisis Zone, the whole appeal of the later games was the two player setup with each player getting their own monitor and unique progression through the stages. Wouldn't have worked unless you wanted to spend four figures.

[@alkohallick2901]

A 17" screen on a shooter is TOO SMALL!!!!!

[@mrdgenerate]

Exactly my first thought

[@3483maverick]

I play shooters on a 83 inch oled. 17 is way too small. Atleast a 27 inch.

[@Kensterrrrr]

Terrible decision with that screen. Shame. I see it on sale for $450 but that screen.. no

[@garethbattersby]

I used to play Time Crisis on the playstation with a light gun on a 13" screen. 17 will feel like I'm at the cinema

[@stridersanza426]

@@Kensterrrrrwhere?

[@soulred5195]

I'm loving my Time Crisis cab! The cab looks incredible and the game is really fun. I used to be able to beat this on one credit, now I can make it up to the stage 2 boss. Steel Gunner is ridiculously hard, I can't imagine trying to play that in the arcade! Even T2 doesn't eat your credits that fast! Overall I think this is easily one of the best products Arcaade1up has released, though I still think Star Wars just barely beats it out. Hope this goes on sale eventually so more people can pick it up.

[@petermacnab1871]

Do you find the screen size ok ? Even for 2P Point Blank ? And does the pedal slide on the floor like some say ?

[@petermacnab1871]

Does point blank play well ?

[@sdtdenmark]

The small screen and mechanical guns make this cabinet an embarrassment.

[@Blurrygil]

Great review, Alex! I'm really wanting one later this year--hoping the price drops a bit or goes on sale. Definitely wanting to add THIS to my own arcade!

[@ytyndale3643]

Nice review, I picked up a CRT tv instead with guncon 1 and 2 to play PS1 and PS2 lightgun games instead. Got all the time crisis games now except 5. Also picked up point blank 2, vampire night, maximum force, Virtua cop 1 and 2, ghoul panic, crisis zone, ninja assault etc. Cost me about half the price of this but I have 15 arcade lightgun games to play.

[@Chrisretrofan]

Enjoy. I have all those games apart from maximum force. I have 5 c r t Im lookin to get a bigger 1 in future. I have 1 and 4 smaller ones. Are you in to house of the dead. Shame hotd 1 wasn't made for dreamcast back in day. My favorite time crisis is first or 2.

[@ytyndale3643]

@@Chrisretrofan For me it's very hard to pick a clear winner when it comes to time crisis games, I love all of them. Sometimes I feel 2 is the best and then sometimes I crave to play the first one as well. 3 is great too and 4 is better than people say it is. Project titan is very underrated also.

[@Chrisretrofan]

@ytyndale3643 yeah I used to love project titan around 2000. With a friend. I feel time crisis 2 used to be my favourite. Definitely the arcade cabinet version. Ps2 version still good. I know time crisis 3 is popular but I don't play it as much as tc 1 or 2 but the ps1 version has special mission which I love exclusive to playstation. I don't remember much about tc 4. I might of had years ago on ps3 but I don't go back to it. And time crisis 2 on ps2 should off had an extra mode like special mission on tc 1. I'm not in to crisis missions

[@GranTigerGaming]

Thats awesome but it makes me sad, I had an excellent flat 20" CRT I played PS games on growing up, had Time Crisis, light guns, etc. I cant recall what happened to all that gear, been through so many moves and life changes. :-/

[@mikepermute]

​@@Chrisretrofan oh dude HOUSE OF THE DEAD. Holy shit you just unlocked a core roller rink memory for me. That game is amazing.

[@sleepingduird9539]

Man your room looks badass

[@DataIIDX]

Need a HOTD with the first 3 games and an 19” screen!

[@maxonwolf5841]

I’m 4 months late, but sadly sega legitimately lost the source code to house of the dead 1. That’s why 2 + 3 were only bundled for the Wii and ported properly.

[@HyperioGames]

@@maxonwolf5841 Yeah but these 1up cabs are mostly just being emulated. I'm sure they'd just grab a model 2 rom rip & repack it into the cabinet.

[@Allen-v1r]

Just got my time crisis. Struggled for a while whether the 650 price tag was worth it. So far so good! I am happy with my purchase!

[@nothingsacred8684]

I would love it if they would make a Virtua Cop cabinet.

[@Sparc343]

I would love to see them do a Lethal Enforcers (which I don't need myself since I have the original/real arcade on that one); still would be nice to see if/how they would do that one!

[@richard7645]

Think its the memories that it's worth the price tag. Nice review thanks 😁👍

[@JeffMercedesC]

I received my Time Crisis arcade cabinet a couple of days ago. It is a awesome addition to my arcade 😎🤘

[@TheEloquentEye]

The whole magic of these games was the interaction between the CRT and the Gun, thats what made it feel so insanely accurate and responsive. Way too many compromises here.

[@3483maverick]

Time to mod that thing!!!

[@BattleFear33]

Do you think they'll ever do Area 51 arcade 1up? That game is my childhood

[@merdoc89]

if a person has a 19" would the cabinet fit it?

[@KelsallsArcade]

Nearly a year on and still not on sale. I think I’m just going to have to “pull the trigger “ so to speak and buy it. Great review by the way!

[@boboifiii1289]

Am I the only one that played light gun games on a 12 in screen as a kid? 17 isn’t terrible, not ideal but not terrible. Great review

[@ceogaming]

If you haven’t played duck hunt with the gun touching the screen, you haven’t lived that life lol. Ty!

[@Metallic-Sun]

I played SNES Lethal Enforcers on a Commodore 64 monitor.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

It’s not terrible, but for $750 are you sure you want to be paying for not terrible?

[@LINK8543]

Nice i was also thinking of buying the 1up machine but then i got an orginal Machine for 50$😋

[@catspyjamass]

What were the screen sizes of the original Point Blank and Time Crisis arcade games?

[@NeroTrigger]

2 guns one reload pedal naww im good screen is to small anyway not for 700. drop it down to like 200 and i'll buy

[@MisterM9]

Is it possible to mod it to put a 19 inch screen I wonder?

[@_AJH_]

Just wanted to say that I am more interested in Steel Gunner than the other games. I remember loving them when first playing them as a Robotech fan. Sure the newer games are more advanced but the art style and everything else was awesome at the time.

[@jasondonnelly150]

This is on sale for $655.00 USD at walmart today 12/25/23. If it was released for that price I think the reviews would have been stronger since the price was the biggest hold up. I think $600 would be the impulse price to hit for it to really take off.

[@ien2023]

Its needs the Namco decal and the screen recess.

[@Space.Folding]

This should have been Time Crisis + Point Blank 1 2 and 3 then it would be god tier

[@eckobase5807]

Well said Ng there Merciless!

[@Suhadisgood]

The only gun game I’m interested in buying is the house of the dead 1 2 3 4 I remember seeing the house of these 4 in the arcade and Sega stopped making house of the dead games it went on PS3 they don’t make light guns anymore for consoles

[@SteveNothing94]

Seems like a nice cab, but would've preferred to have Time Crisis Project Titan instead of the Steel Gunner games, and fingers crossed there's another cab of the PS2 Time Crisis games (Time Crisis 2, 3, and Crisis Zone)

[@Christopher170889]

Question does the time crisis on here have the special mode on it or was that purely on the ps1 edition

[@bradspringer2372]

My biggest issue is why is the screen not 19"? It looks cheep for the price. Thanks for the review.

[@catspyjamass]

How's the gun accuracy and lag?

[@GranTigerGaming]

The screen should be at least 19", it would totally fit, and also come with time crisis 2 at least, the other games are nice but for the price getting at least the first two versions would have sweetened the deal.

[@Vicstruction]

Seriously 17 inch screen again. Arcade1up would sell so much more if they just always used the 19 inch. Save $20 in construction to sell 5,000 machines instead of 10,000+

[@fairlightmusic]

You have it good in the States the Time Crysis machine costs only 499 Bucks, but in Germany it costs 799 Euro. The Terminator 2 cabinet is not available at all. I don‘t like the distribution policy of Arcade1Up in Germany.😕

[@Lunabellap2012]

If you have 2 players how does the pedal work? Wouldn’t you need 2 pedals for time crisis?

[@cohenkarnell7799]

The two player games do not require pedals at all. Time Crisis was a 1 player game, you may be remembering Time Crisis 2 (and onward)

[@petermacnab1871]

I have a question. I have scores over the 5000 requirement on the local leaderboards for PB but I don’t appear on the leaderboard. I’m wondering why. Any idea ?

[@SoyAntonioGaming]

dont cheat

[@unlimited-6183]

Awesome content - Happy new year !! - love ❤arcade games!! We are connected! #subbed

[@youngscholar32]

Yeah 2 days in and my screen was fucked. I had to get a new LCD screen hopefully that fixes it but damn. Shipping was not nice to my unit.

[@isragarcia5496]

Que lleva dentro? Un pc? Una Raspberry?

[@OperantSound]

Can you use the t2 guns?

[@ceogaming]

I’m not 100% sure BUT I saw someone using the buck hunter shotguns to connect and they worked. If the T2 connection is the same with the serial port than it should.

[@kdj29]

yeah, i would have bought it if i didnt still have all of the time crisis games and point blank games on my consoles with guncons and a 42" sony trinitron crt, and now i also have the pandora retro shooter hooked up to a 50" flat screen as well. i do have T2.

[@renegadepyro726]

Ok? Then stick with what you have I guess?

[@Victor-it6bv]

The marquee is bigger than the screen

[@brocabeach]

This is definitely my next 1UP purchase. Too bad it didn't come with Police Trainer. I love that game!

[@blakesandford]

They need to make a police trainer cabinet

[@banyo1]

How’s it go with 1 peddle for 2 player though

[@Grant2b8]

Love this game ❤

[@chopinhoven]

2:00 ok i believe you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Silent scope is needed asap

[@svavar82]

I don't understand why they don't have beefier guns and reload pedals or even a pull back slider on the gun itself, if they had that and a bigger monitor I'd absolutely buy this at double the price.

[@AcroxShadow]

It's using the Sinden Lightgun tech. By far the best modern lightgun we have, even if it does lack some of the TC gun features. I've got one of the Sinden guns myself, they're very nice.

[@mr.nuna916]

Terminator 2 should've come with Operation Wolf.

[@Alano1215]

Is possibile to add games?

[@Skaits]

Sort of. If you mod it; yes but not just normally no.

[@GlitchSystem-xf7jb]

I've seen the Terminator one for sell at Home Depot and i was wondering if its any good. I was also wondering why don't they just do a all in one shooter cabinet that has all the shooters? I feel it's a waste to have just one game. Im a fan of the Area 51 games and if they come out with one of them i might go get one of them instead

[@alkohallick2901]

Because Arcade1up wants to bilk as much money out of you as possible.

[@jacobmanalang8162]

think imma buy it but damn i need to make room for it. i need to rearrange my house

[@reinhardt6217]

The T2 machine has a flat top, had my NECA 1/4 Arnold up there

[@TheBigExclusive]

"The color scheme is weird. It looks like a Fisher price toy". - That's the color scheme of the original Time Crisis 1 cabinet! 😡

[@uneCENT]

I'd probably be willing to try it for $200 or less, but knowing A1UP quality, just can't bring myself to spend more.

[@DeanIrvine]

Looks amazing, but way too pricey. For that amount I’d expect most of the time crisis games along with point blank 1&2. But we know what they’re going to do at a later date. I’m amazed people haven’t tried to hack an arcade 1up.

[@Cam-zv1jq]

Point blank looked cooler than time crisis.The T2 one is way better,your not playing the other games anyway.

[@ChrisOld-of1hd]

The screen is way to small m8 its criminal

[@thesportsgeek-_-]

Only time crisis 1

[@TheRealJPhillips]

Not bad ....not bad at all

[@cataractcowboy9822]

The recoil mechanism on the original was a good portion of the fun for me and this inferior mechanical version of it really takes away from the experience.

[@TheUballe]

This is cool as hell, but not for that price. Maybe... maybe if you had the option to load all other arcade shooters, this would be worth the asking price.

[@indieman6868]

on 32" screen ok but 17" is nogo for a gun game

[@BookshelfBattleblog]

False advertising to give you two guns and a one player time crisis game. True, you have some other 2 player games, but you're buying it for Time Crisis. True, TC1 was 1 player but they could give you TC 2 for the money youre spending on this thing.

[@rushmore3927]

17" display (closer to 16" with boarder) for that much? It sucks on my Buck Hunter for $200 less, so seems even more for this. Only the Bucky Girls saves Buck Hunter.

[@seekerofarcades4634]

🤔👍👍👍nice

[@philiple8890]

Why is this titled Best Replica A1UP has made when your biggest complaint is the screen? Lmao. The tiny screen is what takes away the whole experience lol. I mean look how close you got to point the gun toward the screen. Ridiculous lol

[@lancethrust9488]

FROM UK WENT TO ORLANDO IN 98 HOILDAY INN ARCADE TIME CRISIS I LITERALLY HAD CROWDS WATCHING ME I WAS SO GOOD I HAD THE ENTIRE TOP 20 SCORE IN MY NAME YOU HAD NO CHANCE OF BREAKING THE TOP 20

[@EdwardMitchell-kz4zc]

For a gun games it needs a 19 inch screen minimum! They already raised the price so it it took another $50 to make it 19 inch nobody would complete!!

[@BloodmoonKingdom]

Still waiting for house of the dead.

[@richard7645]

Type of the dead was cool

[@jasenwm]

Screen makes it unplayable. 17 inches is absolutely too small for a shooter.

[@BookshelfQBattler]

How do two adults play with one pedal?

[@rmb1]

Screen too small and Over Priced

[@sdtdenmark]

A ridiculously small screen and mechanical recoil instead of electronic - that cabinet is a total dud! 😂😂😂

[@Cam-zv1jq]

Nmust be nice to be rich or get free shit.

[@bludragon77]

Point blank was awful, steel gunner is kinda meh, so many light gun games and they picked time crisis and got the other licenses for the other meh games for cheap. If you a crisis fan your gonna like this but for me that’s more Area 51 and house of the dead this is a no doubt pass for me

[@incorect8528]

Lmao bro lives in opposite world

[@petermacnab1871]

I love Point Blank !

[@MrScorpion360x]

Rage bait. Try harder, you Massive L.

[@BTGamenight]

May I ask if you experienced aiming issues due to the small screen and was it difficult for you to shoot faraway targets in the game backgrounds? Or is that something that can be calibrated or worked around? Thanks and keep up the great content good sir!

[@ceogaming]

Ask away! So the sweet spot for these light guns are making sure the gun's tip/camera doesn't go PAST the front of the control deck board (area that holds the guns) and you won't have any issues. I've been playing a lot of point blank and haven't had any aiming issues if you stay farther back than closer and the gun wires go back at least 4-5 ft from the machine. Smaller screen does make aiming easier in the end and you get used to it.

[@petermacnab1871]

Have you played 2P point blank ? How is the game play / aiming with 2p ? I never played Time crisis in the arcade and played point blank only in the PlayStation so even though the nostalgia is not there this looks like a great cab , especially with all of the leaderboards!! By the way buystuff has a 19” plug and play monitor upgrade (BOE) I’m all 80’s but this might be an exception ! Love point blank !
