About 10-15 years before "Rogue One"/"A New Hope"
on August 12, 2018
Posted by: 93Vet
from Norwalk, Ca.
Long time SW fan here since the very beginning, May 25, 1977.
I found the movie enjoyable. The characters and what was going on was believable. Action and pace were good throughout the movie. The timeline for this one is 10-15 years before the events of Rogue One/A New Hope. The Empire was trying to reign in control over the Galaxy, with factions of "rebels" and "crime syndicates" appearing all over the place. There were 20 years between "Revenge of the Sith" and "A New Hope", so there is so much that can be told and seen in that timeframe. I am eager to see more of Han Solo and Chewbacca where they first come into contact with Jabba The Hutt.

Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the 80s and 90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage~was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat~, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. With it~s over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat~became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catch phrases.

5 out of 5Authentic arcade experience
By BBShopper
This is the 1UP Arcade to get. Ten games, including MK1, 2, and Ultimate 3. Scan line filter and difficulty settings are available on each game. Some games have additional options. MK1 and 2 have flawless emulation. Ultimate MK3 suffers from occasional slow down when a lot happens on screen. Otherwise it plays perfectly.
This is my first 1UP purchase, and I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I'll pick up more as my favorite games are released.

5 out of 5~ Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut on 4K ~
By 93Vet
Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut looks stunning now in 4K for the 30th Anniversary Edition!
The overall package, design and discs are all nicely done.
Picture quality and sound are fabulous and it makes you think you are right there with the guys in the military boat making its way through the river.
All special features have been brought over from other releases, and you get the HEART OF DARKNESS feature as well.

This is a war movie and not for the younger viewers.
HIghly recommended for all those that love Robert Duvall.
His portrayal of a Colonel in this movie is spectacular.
Martin Sheen also does a great job as the Captain put in charge of the boat to destroy a lunatic colonel out in the jungle.

By Kevin
Received product like many items recently shipped from bestbuy in plain mail envelopes with no padding or protection, when i am spending 80 to 100 for something that comes in a special edition box i expect it to be protected when shipped not placed in a stand mail envelope. the box was torn up and one of the steelbooks has a very visible scratch on it. i understand its not a hard box surrounding the steelbooks but when i ship stuff i protect my items bestbuy just likes to charge full price and not give a crap i am so close to being done and going else where. hopefully i can find this in store at my local best to swap out. had the same issue with recent movie BackDraft the steel book came and look terrible was even bent during shipping.

Unlike other vendors, package did not also include standard blu-ray disk. I have returned it, waiting for credit.

Not all 4K movies are released with an additional Blu-ray disc. This is one of them. Make sure it specifically says you are getting the standard Blu-ray disc as well as the 4K UHD.

Take the back of the unit off and make sure all of the connections are in their place. That's what I would do in your situation.

4K disc
August 24, 2021
I hope you knew that 4K discs DO NOT play in standard Blu-ray players before you wrote this 1 star review for the movie. You should have known by now that 4K discs have to be played in their own players and can play the others, DVD/Blu-ray. Game systems also have to be able to read the 4K UHD disc as well. 4K is a step up from Blu-ray, overall.

5 out of 5Fantastic Cab!
By Ninja
The art is amazing, the panel graphics are fantastic. They did an amazing job remaking this 20th anniversary cab. The screen is ultra clear. Fantastic game selection. And every game has online leaderboards which makes the replay value great. I keep coming back to this cab wanting to get in the top 25. Arcade1up’s quality has really improved over the first gen cabs. They knocked this one out of the park.

Thank you for taking the time to convey what I was thinking without having it physically, yet!
Looking at the cabinet up close with the pictures provided here on Best Buy, it looks like they have redesigned the Volume control and On/Off white buttons also. They look to be flat now, as opposed to be the white pegs they are on the PAC MAN Legacy Edition I own.
Is that an upgrade design for this one? Just curious.

2 out of 5Defective Parts
By Lindsey
I got this assembled just fine, but then the joystick fell apart after the first play. I got it reassembled, but now it's loose and doesn't feel right. The controls don't respond right either. I am really good at this game and score well in arcades, so something is wrong. I shouldn't have to repair parts for a brand new machine. Not impressed.

Defective parts..
November 17, 2021
Hi, that is a shame and I feel for you. Hopefully, you will get your money back on this. I should say that PAC MAN Legacy Edition is really good, but I feel like the joystick could have been built better. It works, but it really clicky whereas the real one from the Arcade is solid and does not make any noise. That is the only drawback I have on these units, the joysticks are not built well enough.

You can still get those, for the Hobbit, and then Lord of the Rings. Finding a good deal on them is key and not all dented up.
I should say though they did not have the Appendices, which I believe this one does?

Had the Ms Pac Man cocktail table, which I love. Class of 81 blows that one out of the water. Selling the cocktail cabinet.
Lit marquee, best graphics and side art arcade 1 up has ever released, lighted deck with 8 color options, wifi and online world leaderboards, dip switch settings to customize difficulty and speed (software update even added rapid fire to Galaga ... and since it's wifi the update takes place as fast as adding an app to your phone)
I have 7 cabinets and this is by far my favorite. Even got some world high scores!

Thanks for the review! I have to say, I was impressed with their graphics on the STAR WARS cabinet and TEMPEST Atari Legacy Edition, of which I own. This one looks great as well. The lighted deck seems to be a new addition. Good to know!

93Vet's Questions
Retrogaming fans and pop-culture enthusiasts have been clamoring for it, and here it is courtesy of Arcade1Up: the Atari Legacy CENTIPEDE Edition home arcade machine, for the first time in a form factor shaped just like the original classic arcade cabinet!
There are misleading images of this unit's screen size when showing Centipede. The game is a vertical game as it should be. However, there are photos of it being squashed or horizontal. Which is it?

So, what's the actual date of release now? Arcade 1up had it in March and Best Buy says Dec. 31, 2021. lol There are many of us eagerly awaiting to get this unit when Arcade 1up SAYS and sends an email stating it is READY for Preorder.

Im seeing mixed reviews about atmos on this one. So does it have atmos or not? If not I thought all 4k movies already includes dolby atmos.
It does NOT have 7.1 Dolby Atmos. It has English DTS 5.1.
Well, when they put this one out, they restored the image of the film, and did not upgrade the soundtrack. Still sounds great on audio equipment and soundbars.
Sadly, not all 4K discs have Dolby 7.1.

Does this game actually have a working coin machine? How many games are on the arcade?
No, it is only a graphic on the front. It is a Legacy Edition, 12 in 1 cabinet.

Even if you do play a game, hold down the player 1 button and it will take you to the game select screen in a few seconds.

Is this SQUARE aka "full screen" or is this widescreen format?
What is the screen/monitor size?
I have the Ms. Pac-Man unit with 4 games I got through Best Buy. This looks to be the same exact size screen, vertically.
I have the TEMPEST Legacy Edition also, and that is a smaller screen size at 17 inches, horizontal.

Does this Mrs Pac-Man have the speed hack/fast mode added to this cabinet?
Well, it does state it has the in game settings menu, and on my Pac-Man Legacy Edition which also has 12 games, you can change the speed on Pac-Man to make it super fast in the games settings menu. I am hoping they did it for this 12 game unit as well.
