But it was limited edition. And they are 150 dollars and not worth it to me. I saw they had the Capcom 1942, and 1943 real arcade roms in a real small cabinet. You can set the real dip switches. It comes with a wireless small controller. and is 90 dollars.Cool I really like that. Once they are gone they are gone. And I copied and pasted the specs. On Amazon. Look here. 1942 X REPLICADE: is a 1/6th scale replica of the ROMSTAR/Capcom 1942 Lowboy arcade machine. This classic Lowboy cabinet features two fully playable, classic arcade games designed by Yoshiki Okamoto: 1942 and 1943: The Battle of Midway. 1942 x RepliCade also features a Japanese-style diecast metal coin mechanism, customizable dipswitch and cabinet settings, HDTV connectivity and a bonus 1943 Mini Arcade Stick for simultaneous two-player gameplay! FEATURES: Authentic wood cabinet construction. Illuminated Marquee. Diecast metal Japanese-style coin slot. Signature amplified multi-speaker audio reproduction with volume control. High score saving with non-volatile memory. Built-in high-capacity rechargeable battery SIZED FOR COLLECTORS: Our 1942 x RepliCade Lowboy cabinet measures 10.4"H x 4.5"W x 5.25"D and weighs 2.4 lbs. This 1/6th scale machine matches your 12-inch collectible figures and fits perfectly on your bookshelf, bar or desk. PREMIUM CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS: Every detail in these amazing works of arcade art has been painstakingly reproduced, including the wood cabinet, illuminated marquee & cabinet accents, diecast metal Japanese-style coin slot, and professionally reproduced cabinet art printed on high quality 3M vinyl overlays. AUTHENTIC GAMEPLAY: 1942 x RepliCade plays just like the arcade classic with PlayScale Control Panel featuring an arcade accurate Mini Joystick and action buttons. The cab also features premium LCD color screen in 3:4 vertical aspect ratio and our signature amplified multi-speaker audio reproduction with volume control for an authentic arcade experience. The Arcade Operator Dip Switch menu allows you to set number of Starting Lives, set Bonus Life score, and set Game Difficulty. we talked about it 2 years ago when it came out : i like the game, but its not very popular, and they have been trying to sell of the stock, because it didn't sell well. later | || | | || || | | negat ive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I'd take the 1942/1943 over GnG. I like both about equally, but the shooter pair I'd appreciate more since the difficulty isn't utterly obscene along with being repetitive and picky to get the actual ending. For something I'd prefer to be more casual about at this rate in life (GnG) I'd rather use something far cheaper. 1942, but much more so 1943 I enjoy to pull up and take a shot it, was one of the last titles I bothered with semi-regularly when I still had the iCade cocktail as it was in the 60 game list. Street Fighter I missed out on, but getting the premium mini arcade myarcade did worked for me especially in a clearance rack for 1/2 off. It works well, microswitches, good stick and buttons due to that, it's actual arcade roms too not some recoded weirdness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerSpaceFan Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Apparently they finally fixed the ST II cab but it's not something we can flash our existing units with. Need to re-purchase. So ... good news for those of you still on the fence maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to the unique control scheme games? I guess there goes another year my bank account doesn't need to worry about. Dragon's Lair at least has the little score counter, 1942 has a vertical screen and nifty woodgrain. The GnGs are the most ordinary, vanilla cabs that Replicade have adapted, so it does kind of defeat the purpose of having a unique device. You could put any of a million games into that same box and even the cabinet art isn't much to get excited about. If it were any other such game I'd react the same way you are, but GnG is just one of those handful of games for me. On 3/24/2023 at 11:01 PM, Elvis said: Really it did not sell well? I will like mine. Yeah I was surprised myself that the stock's lingering so long. Foot Fight sold out pretty fast and I thought it was relatively obscure. They've done multiple runs of Dragon's Lair (though I missed it again... maybe they'll do yet another someday!). 1942's still a great game to me, although I'm absolutely terrible at it, and 1943's not too shabby either.

I sort of like both games. I played them on the NES and greatest hits disc. I just wanted a arcade from the company. And did not want to pay 150 dollars. I wanted Qubert. But it was too high and limited edition. So this one may be my only product from them. It will go good with my Arcade 1ups min arcades that set on a table and my Hallmark Christmas ornaments Arcades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 I have well as of moments ago HAD that SF2CE unit. It was both great as a display piece, and play wise an utter piece of shit. The joystick didn't work right at all completely screwing up basic quarter circles, and that's not even getting into the logic circuit issue I didn't even notice or forgot about. I got it on clearance 2 years ago for maybe $20 so not a big loss far as I'm concerned to tinker. I popped it open and worked on the stick for an hour after putting the button colors right I was lazy about before. I tried to tighten the spring up in various ways, it didn't do any good, still just as sloppy so even a better tension spring won't cut it, it's the molding inside that changed too. It was both a great and for play utterly terrible device. It just went in the trash. If I can't play it right, and I see no reason to sell someone a crap unit, it got where broken crap goes...outside in the bin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 In case anyone is interested, this is probably the best price you will ever see for this! On the Atgames website, if you use the code in the picture it knocks the price down from $89.99 to $59.99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know I saw that video that compared the two. Since it already didn't work well I opened it up and tried to see if I could correct much with the joystick but fiddlign with the spring tension did no good, the plastic molding sucking bad on it was equally to blame as much as the wonky logic circuit too. I'm out $20 really, don't much care, it made for a nice display piece for a year or two but I wish it had been usable so out it went. If you can't consistently pull of a simple fireball motion flawlessly repeatedly, it's crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 It wouldn't be bad if they did, there's a market for the stuff given the ridiculous prices those quartercade etc things get to start let alone on the aftermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madwindoman Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Went into best buy the other day. 1st time in a long time. They had the mortal combat and pac man minis for 100 cad. That’s around 70 greenbacks. Seemed more like decoration than something actually meant to be played 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
