This thing looks so cool. I love the look of it. And good point about issues if it had an acrylic top. It would require sealing around the edges of each knockout to prevent spillage getting under. The sticker on the back looks annoying but tbh, what bothers me more is the two giant “Arcade1Up” logos on the trim of the monitor. At the very least, I think they should have used an all-white version of their logo or something.
Thanks man! It’s a cool product. I’m still learning the ropes on this whole youtube thing, but I try to do everything in excellence when given the opportunity. Thanks for paving the way bro!
Great review! I like the way you emphasize the positives and explain how the negatives aren’t that negative in reality, such as the lack of a plexi top and how a drink on top of electronics isn’t a great idea anyway! I wonder if a side mounted cup/drink holder would be an option. Makes a whole lot of sense that if it did have a plexi top, that could be a negative. I hadn’t considered this until now but can see how non-gamer guests could get into some of these games with lots of nostalgia and zero learning curve!
Phenomenal commentary! A side mounted cup holder could be great. They actually make those and they can be found on Amazon. I appreciate this comment so much!
Great review. In case you didn't know, in Warlords you can use one of the action buttons to catch the flame and then relaunch it in a specific direction. Mastering that function is how you will get good :)
I'm a bit late to the party but are the thinner white panels painted on both sides? The title listings on Arcade1up units have always been cringey for me, so I wondered if you could simply flip the panels. I see that there are vinyl overlays are also available so that's another option. Also: is the edge of the top painted or t-moulding?
Still not seeing how the lack of protection on the control surface will have a happy ending. A1Up mentioned they were going to protect the whole thing. Seems it is primed for wear and staining. There are other coating protections besides plexiglass.
Yeah I spoke to this...there is a protective coating on it...but the reality is Arcade 1up products are all subject to wear. My recommendation is to use it as a game platform and not a table. It wont stain if you don’t put drinks and such on it.
@@RETRODNA And watches, bracelets, oily hands, sharp nails... Point is they made no effort to protect it and on top of that, went 2001 Space Odyssey prop white. Actually, it looks like a prop from UFO, the precursor to Space 1999.
@@rushmore3927 lol well some people are never satisfied ya know? Anyone who expected a highly durable, commercial quality or even furniture quality product from A1UP isnt familiar with their products.
Cards-functionally yes, comfortably no. I feel like the spinners and buttons may get in the way. I don’t think the surface is big enough for a board game personally.
@@RETRODNA Ok thanks. I’m not tech savvy enough to be modding anything lol. I just thought maybe they had something built into it to where more games could be purchased.
Yeah, unfortunately I agree. I was going to buy this instead of a traditional pub table for my basement. I figured "well I need a table anyway, may as well have games in it!". But not being able to actually use it as a table is a little disappointing. I get that it won't be an issue for some people, but I think this could have been a product that got non "arcade nerds" into the arcade 1 up world. As is though, it's just another machine for the few people with an actual home arcade. In any case though, this was a really great review, and a cool product nonetheless!
My fav addition so far! ☺️
Lots of fun to be had!

Best review I seen so far thank you
Thanks! And mine still looks great in 2024!
It’s on sale for $299. Just picked one up.
@@chriscaz1239 nice pick up!
Great job man, this is by far the best review I have seen on this product! Awesome bro 💪🏻🤘🏻🔥

@@RETRODNA Production quality was super high man, you keep doing that and you will grow quickly. Keep it up dude!
Thanks for this...Best review I've seen on this. I think I'm going to have to get one of these.
Thanks for watching!

Warlords makes this table a must have! Got mine for $249
Plex protects the wear and tear on the paint and dirt on the white from natural oil that is on the hands..
As does the protective coating they put on it according to A1UP

Oh snap bro! You just got me HYPED! I’ve gotta learn that ASAP bc I didn’t know lol

Nice review
Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed it!
I would not keep drinks on this table but would it work to okay cards or a board game or night it get scratched easily ? Thoughts ?
Cards-functionally yes, comfortably no. I feel like the spinners and buttons may get in the way. I don’t think the surface is big enough for a board game personally.
@@RETRODNA too bad you can’t put drinks on it but I still want it ! Which games have scores ? I love high scores !
All of them do. And you can with a coaster. Lol
@@RETRODNA but one will spill eventually probably sooner than later ! No way lol
@@RETRODNA even breakout ? Can you enter initials on any of them ?
Who's the chick that appears at 0:44?
Lol focus!
Can you play 4 player warlords ?
Yes of course
RETRO DNA any other 4 player games ?
Quadrapong is 4 players also
Is there anyway to add games to this? I would buy the thing in a heartbeat if it had “kaboom!”
Where there’s a will, there’s a way, however, I don’t personally think it would be worth everything needed to mod it.
@@RETRODNA
Ok thanks. I’m not tech savvy enough to be modding anything lol. I just thought maybe they had something built into it to where more games could be purchased.
Does it save high scores
Yes it does!
It's a freakin table. Ur suppose to set things on it.
To each their own. Thanks for the comment!

@@PbNewf but even if they put plexiglass , with all of those buttons surely the liquid would get through and make it even worse I think
