Arcade 1up is killing it.

Jan 04, 2022

I can honestly say that I don't remember the first time I played Asteroids in the arcade, but I'm pretty certain it was in a store called, Modells.

Modells was a department store on Long Island much like K-Mart. As you walked in the lobby, you were greeted on one side by the tables and countertop where you could order food and soft drinks. It was the other side of the lobby that was magic. A long wall that had a plethora of arcade games.

This is where I spent my time while my parents shopped. Some of my best friends were there. Atari Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Spy Hunter, and of course, the classics. Asteroids and Centipede.

Now Arcade 1up is bringing those friends of mine home. Oh sure, they've been available before, but now, these new cabs are bigger and better than before.

The Arcade 1up Atari Legacy Centipede Edition features 14 games including Centipede®, Millipede ®, Asteroids ®, Asteroids Deluxe, Major Havoc ®, Missile Command ®, Akka Arrh, Crystal Castles ®, Tempest ®, Gravitar ®, Liberator, Space Duel (1 Player), Super Breakout ®, and Lunar Lander ®.

According to Arcade 1up, these cabs look great and play even better. I would want this in my living room as a piece of furniture.  But be warned. Once you start a collection of these machines, you won't want to stop.

Arcade1Up Pro Series was announced at CES 2022, which includes larger 19-inch screens and Happ Controls.

Arcade1Up is listening to its fans finally with its latest line of products which will cater to hardcore arcade collectors who have been wanting a premium build and quality to match the nostalgia they get in their game rooms.

Today it was announced that we are getting the Atari Legacy Arcade Machine Centipede Edition, Midway Legacy Arcade Machine Mortal Kombat 30th Anniversary Edition, Killer Instinct Arcade Machine PRO SERIES Edition, and BANDAI NAMCO Legacy Arcade Machine Pac-Mania Edition...

The pricing point for these cabinets has not been revealed at this time, but with prices for their other cabinets like Tron and Terminator 2, which are selling right now for $700, it is in my opinion that we can expect for these Pro Series to hit around the $1,000 to $1,200 price range.

Killer Instinct will kick off the Pro Series from Arcade1Up, and the company plans to offer one new Pro Series system each quarter in 2022.

 

What to expect? Well alongside being closer to full-size cabinets, the Pro Series will feature 19-inch screens, Wi-Fi for online play, and Happ controls. Happ controls were featured in many of the biggest arcade games over the last several decades, and they're a substantial upgrade over the generic sticks in most Arcade1Up cabinets that we have been getting.
