MK arcades.

2 specifically. Always wanted a MK 2 arcade cabinet.

MK

I'd love a Simpsons or X-Men cab, but honestly once I beat it, I'm not really gonna wanna go back to it. Maybe years down the line, but that really ain't worth the price or space.

@Johnny_Nutcase I know that the one company has a mini mortal kombat cabinet. They might have more? I don't keep up with what they put out.

NBA Jam would probably stay fun the longest

That's what I'm referencing - Arcade1Up. The MK3-skinned cabinet was recently on sale for $200. Includes all games.

I have the MK2-skinned one.

Nice!

The MK3 is better though. Those the marquee and j-panel are mismatched, the j-panel lights up and the skin is just sexy as fuck. Same games though.

It's one of their shittier models though if you're over 5'9. No idea what the fuck they were thinking.

Interesting...... Will be lookin into this.

Tie between Simpsons and X-Men. I miss classic beat-em-ups.

Overpriced currently. Got it for $200, so depends if you want to wait or not. They'll probably release a better version down the line. Just don't get the MK 30th anniversary as it has a worse monitor.

I see. Sucks about the mismatching.

Well, I don't have the good luck to be average height. I'm only 5' 1 1/2

What a coincidence, I just finished building the MK3 legacy cab that I got from sam's club for 200 bucks

Yeah just looked it up. Not in a rush to get it i'll wait for a price drop. What are the dimensions of this thing? It's a mini cabinet so I wonder if it gets kinda crowded if you play with someone.

It also says 12 games one cabinet. What else is in there?

There you go. How annoyed are you by the MK3 and UMK3 mismatch?

I've heard of people installing risers for their cabinets.

The two player cabinets are fine. These legacy MK cabs have a little overhang on each side of the panel that can be annoying for some, but not me. The 4 player cabs can get cramped.

As I mentioned, they messed up with the legacy cabs so if you're too tall, the top part of the screen isn't really visible.

Each of these comes with a riser. Some add some additional height to them, but it's just not official.

Any of these games a rail shooter?

Time Crisis is out next year.

Pinball probably. I had one before, played it monthly. Sold it for a small profit, even accounting for 2 services over 8 years.

Arcade Ive had before as well. I pretty much will only get classic arcades in the future. (Ms.) Pac-man, Donkey Kong (jr), space invaders, asteroids, stuff like that.

What annoys me even more is that it doesn't have the original MK3. I know I gotta get the MK 30th anniversary version of the cab for that one, but this cab was too cheap to pass up.

Hard choice for me because these are some of my most wanted Arcade 1ups. Just swap out Star Wars pinball for Miller Instinct.

I voted T2 by the way.

Haha Miller Instinct!

Don't buy it. It's apparently shit. $200 was a steal for all of those games though. Happy I got the MK2 at that price, but bitter because I love MK3 more haha.

T2 is fun, but not worth the price for one game. Hell, I'm modding it just to have it look better. Had to drill to move the cords inside the cab, need to spray paint, and added decals that cost $35.

Meh, not really great selections, IMO.

I get the most play out of my Donkey Kong arcade game.

Easily NBA Hangtime

Obviously not on the list. So vote accordingly.

The cabinets are too small, the T2 cabinet looks ridiculous and not having the guns mounted is a deal breaker

Don't know what to tell you. Closest thing you will ever get to the real thing, so plan on shelling out the $1200 for a used one.

have u seen the 1up cabinets my dude ?

I mean I'm sure there's cheaper ways. Couldn't be too hard to figure out a cheaper way to play T2.

The 1up cabinet lacks the appeal of the og cabinet with the mounted guns.

So these are 1up machines, weirdly my work got the Pacman one, I didn't realize there were others. I voted for NBA JAM awhile ago b/c that game is so fun. I know in the Saturn or further in arcade against the developers it feels like it cheats and reads your inputs haha but that game was so fun. I'd love to have a Simpsons-cade, but Charles Barkley, I rest my case.

Simps arcade

It isn't. I owned the real thing and already sold it long ago and have no desire for another.
