I have one that has some classic arcade games like Galaga and stuff and it works great and at least to me seems like good quality. I've had it for about 4 years now. It wasn't hard to put together and came shipped well. Mine has a trackball and joysticks and both work great. I don't know how one with the light gun would be but I myself wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

yea one of my biggest concerns was assembling the thing and if it was cheap materials that they used. glad to hear yours has held up over the years and leaning towards buying one myself

My brother bought a TMNT arcade machine but I'm not sure what brand. He really likes it.

this is a good question: I found the arcade1up machines are good for joysticks and buttons... but Terminator 2 has a big heavy gun so I'm not sure

I have the TMNT cab and Marvel Vs Capcom. The artwork is nice but the stick and buttons are definitely not arcade quality. They are nice cabs to have as nostalgia. My nephews love coming over to play TMNT even though we beat both games already. Id only get them if the original arcade holds a special place in your heart. These cabs will allow you to relieve them glory days

I'm biased because I have real arcade machines

The 1up machines are low quality junk, IMO.

i would like to see if there are ways to add more light gun games to it. if i could get some stuff like house of the dead, lethal enforcers, or area 51 added to it that would be pretty cool

Silent Scope was cool cuz there was a second screen inside the gun scope so it was both a light gun game and a sniping game at the same time

revolution x would work great for it. i hope to add some other games but the light guns seem like they would only be good for machine gun on rails games. so far been using both guns at the same time and thats been pretty fun. here its is complete https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/0/1/AAb3GmAAD7Pt.jpg

yes. the other machines they have look pretty easy to. the problem with the terminator one is getting the light guns that come with it to work with other games but you can get different light guns and make it work according to others

How is the quality of the guns? I read there might be some issues with them and could be the reason the original had them on a fixed mount.

guns are a little light weight and the trigger feel isnt ideal for any other game than a machine gun style. the only problem ive had with the guns is being too close to the screen with them. you have to be about two feet back from the screen and then they are accurate at that distance
