As far as the Replicade cabinets, I've purchased a few - Dragon's Lair, Tempest, 1943, Qbert and I've preordered Space Ace. Overall I've been really impressed with these mini arcades. 1943 I still haven't opened, Tempest and Qbert are my favorites to play, but Dragon's Lair is absolutely amazing. I'd really like to see the original Star Wars arcade come available, that and Frogger. Those are the only ones I'm keeping an eye out for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I also own a few of the Replicades and they are quite something amazing! I own DL and Tempest but also put in the pre-order for Space Ace. And yes the Dragon's Lair one is really cool! I could maybe see a Frogger one but what about Gyruss? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gyruss could be fun, but I would only purchase it if it had a rapid fire option. Pushing a tiny button over and over really fast would not be something I'm into. Probably why I haven't bothered opening 1943 yet. Otherwise I agree, I think Gyruss could be really cool. Same with negative1's suggestion of Raiden. I love that game on PS1 (Raiden Project), but for me it would need rapid fire as an option. Edited July 14, 2022 by RREDDWARFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Maybe 1942/1943 was overestimated. I didn't buy it, but it seems to be falling/struggling to sell even on the ebay market unlike all the others that seem to sit at over $200 up to 500(SF2 cabinet) with what exists so far. I know I'd enjoy it, but I know I'd also enjoy it less than the price per quarters on both too so it would be just a pretty piece of shelf art with some nice WW2 inspired art to stare at. I have more interest in the Neo Geo and the Astro I do have and they're rarely touched and fit on this desk, the other wouldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RREDDWARFF Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Food Fight is a great game, but I'm going to pass on it. I personally would be more interested in a Pepsi machine rather than Coke. To me, Pepsi was more of an 80's icon, what with the Pepsi Challenge and Michael Jackson's hair catching on fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I impulse-bought 1942 and thought I'd regret it, but turns out I actually like playing it on those goofy little controls. Not even bitter about it going on sale for even less, that's always a risk. I think I'm done with these for now... maybe the right game would make me crack, but I don't think Food Fight is the one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I like Food Fight,nice choice for the next machine!? The coke machine is a great Idea and it will be a nice addition, although I already purchased their other two usb charging coin machines and don't actually need a third one yet. Though I probably will a couple more machines down the road... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, are those getting expensive... Yeah,I just looked at the prices. I know the Replicades have been steadily going up in price.$139. I can live with,they have proven to go up in value. Not that I ever resell. Glad I got the early ones for $100. I was more surprised to see the coke machine starts at $139. Ouch! Ok,it does hold two cans of soda. Or beer! ?That's pretty neat.

Agreed, $139 for the Coke machine is a lot. I think the Replicade cabinets themselves are worth every penny. The build quality on their machines is exceptional. They have also greatly improved since there earlier models (Referring to Tempest). Dragon's Lair and Qbert are amazing. When I said, "Man, are those things getting expensive," I was referring to Atari Jaguar consoles. Ugh, it makes me sick, but it was my fault for selling my Jag stuff in the first place lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Yeah I wonder how the joystick for Food Fight is going to be. The original was analog of course and you could stand in one spot and gently point in any direction to shoot without moving your character. I'm suspecting they'll shove in a digital 8-way stick (i.e. worst case scenario) but I'm open to being surprised. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't skimped in the past. For instance, Dragon's Lair got the secondary score display and Q*bert got both the diagonal joystick and the knocker, not to mention all of the other machines with their specifics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerSpaceFan Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I have zero interest in Food Fight (in fact anything with standard joystick controls) .... wish they'd release more custom control games like they did with Asteroids, Centipede and Tempest. However, if the Coke machine actually cools a can or two then maybe. But I've seen enough videos online about these supposed mini-fridges doing zilch for cooling. It's just a USB fan blowing on a room temperature can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 If you use the code SUMMER20,it takes $20. off the price of both Food Fight and the coke machine which brings them to $119. a piece, a much more reasonable price for them for sure! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 I am going to wait and see on Food Fight. I suspect there will be plenty to go around. I don’t think the arcade game is nearly as memorable as the 7800 game with its eerie cone eating animation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
