If you loved feeding coins into arcade machines from yesteryear and don’t want to spend big $$$$ on a 30+ year old machine, then Arcade1Up’s 3/4 scale classic arcade machines may be for you!
There are currently six arcade cabinets (see below), each cabinet housing multiple games. Before you get too excited, there will only be two cabinets available in Australia via EB Games (as at the time of this article) – Rampage and Street Fighter II Editions. Hopefully we’ll see the rest make their way to retails stores in Australia.
Release date (in Australia) is penned for October 11 with a retail price of $698. These aren’t exactly cheap, but they are cheaper than trying to find an original arcade cabinet which may require some TLC and parts to get it working.
With PAX Aus 2018 just around the corner, we wonder if EB Games could lend a few of these for our Classic Gaming Area…
Street Fighter II Edition with three brill Street Fighter II games
Rampage Edition: Rampage, Gauntlet, Joust & Defender
Galaga Edition: Walmart exclusive only, housing Galaga and Galaxian!
Centipede Edition: Centipede, Crystal Castles, Missile Command & Millipede
Asteroids Edition: Asteroids, Tempest, Major Havoc & Lunar Lander
Final Fight Edition (coming in 2019): Final Fight, Ghosts’N Goblins, 1944 & Strider
Specs:
Recreate that arcade parlour from your childhood right in your living room!
