~ Invasion of the Body Snatchers in 4K UHD! ~
on September 19, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
Wow, this 4K transfer and movie looks stunning now.
For 1978, I can't get over how good it looks in UHD. Sound is also quite good, considering. IT is one of those ALIEN invasion movies and people start to notice sudden changes in each other in one local area of San Francisco. A group of close friends who work and live nearby become the targets of those that have "turned" into virtual clones of themselves. The duplicates have no emotions, not even a flinch. So, the close knit group must now try and survive to get out of the City by any means possible!
Nice job KINO LORBER once again!
Movie comes with nice slipcover so get it soon.
I would recommend if you are a horror Sci-Fi fan.
All special features are here from previous editions that I can tell.

The one-time bane of nearly every critic in America, the blood-soaked first film in the franchise has gone on to cult classic status. Decades after the drowning death of adolescent Jason Voorhees and the barn murders of a pair of young lovers, scenic Camp Crystal Lake reopens. Now the place is crawling with campers and young, naive, S*x-hungry counselors... and a maniacal killer! And just what is the deal with this Jason kid? Adrienne King, Betsy Palmer, Kevin Bacon, Ari Lehman star. 95 min. Widescreen; Soundtracks English Dolby TrueHD 5.1, Dolby Digital mono, French Dolby Digital mono, Spanish Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles English (SDH), French, Spanish; audio commentary; featurettes; behind-the-scenes footage.

~ Friday the 13th dismal 4K release...
on September 18, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay, this is not a review of the movie itself. I love Friday the 13th. It is one of the most original horror movies ever made.
This is a review for this "horrific" 4K release from Paramount.
First, I just wondered how much more can they really improve on since the Deluxe Version Blu-ray a few years back.
Well, that one had a good menu, background music, and ALL features, even the original theatrical trailer.
All scenes looked good, even the dark scenes as you could see who was where, doing what. Great release.
THIS 4K, not a good one folks.
I watched the opening scenes, as it was a nighttime, etc.
The two camp counselors wearing yellow shirts up there making out and then getting wacked, you couldn't make out there features well at all and it was overly dark.
I stopped right there after the girl screams, you could barely see her face.
I put in the Deluxe version Blu-ray, and watched the opening scenes and it was so much better, overall. I just don't know what Paramount did in this one, but it is way too dark. The day scenes were okay, with minimal improvement over the Blu-ray.
The sound? Well, no improvement there. We get the same audio as we did on the Deluxe Blu-ray.
All features are on the 4K, except, NO original theatrical trailer.
For a 1980 horror movie, Paramount could have done a better job on this one.
I would pass on this one and keep the Deluxe Blu-ray version. THAT is all you need. You do not need this one.
As a longtime fan of the movie, I am disappointed.

Widescreen; Soundtracks English DTS HD 7.1 Master Audio, French Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles English, French; audio commentary; featurettes; storyboards. Two-disc set.

~Star Trek III gets the nice 4K slipcover edition~
on September 10, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock looks and sounds fabulous on the 4K UHD individual release.
We now have a beautifully done slipcover with this release to match the others in the series.
Well done!
STIII continues the aftermath of the events of The Wrath Of Khan. It seems Spock's inner most "spirit" is stranded on a planet built from the shockwave of Genesis' explosion. The main crew of the Enterprise must get the ship back to save Spock's future and somehow return his "spirit" back to his reborn body before it's too late.
Love it and it looks and sounds as good as it is going to get.
All features are here on the Blu-ray version disc.
Highly recommended!

~ Star Trek II gets the 4K individual with slip ~
on September 9, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
The best STAR TREK movie ever, now released individually with beautiful slipcover for the 40th Anniversary Edition.
Previously in the 4-movie box set by Paramount, we finally get the individual release.
The Director's Cut is on the 4K as it should be.
Lots of special features here for this movie.
I love everything about this entry into the Star Trek universe. It is my favorite film in the entire franchise.
I watch all of my movies, TV shows, DVDs, Blu-rays, and 4Ks on the Sony 4K player with Sony TV/HDR.
I also have a soundbar set up for the sound.
I highly recommend this one!

~ Star Trek IV has the nice slipcover 4K release ~
on September 9, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
Excellent movie and 4K! Nice individual slipcover with some beautiful artwork.
I thought the movie looked good on the 4K upgrade over the Blu-ray, but it is slight.
For a 1986 movie, it's the best it is going to look in my opinion.
Picture and sound are both great and menu has easy selections. Still image of movie with background music.
All special features are here in this set.
Recommend this one to complete the "trilogy" of II, III, IV.

~ Star Trek VI finally comes to 4K UHD with slip ~
on September 9, 2022
Posted by: 93Vet
Star Trek VI finally comes to 4K and I do have to say it looked improved over the Blu-ray version on my Sony 4K player and Sony 4K TV with HDR. It's not a stellar improvement, but it is in my opinion. The ships and scenery with battle scenes and all looked really good, and the 7.1 is spot on.
Both the Director and Theatrical versions are on the 4K.
Easy selections there on menu. Still image of movie and background music.
I own over 150 4K movies now, and at least 500 Blu-rays. Still have DVDs also of TV shows, some movies not out on HD formats to this day.
I would have to say as a sidenote, that the recent Pirates of the Caribbean movie released on 4K is abysmal in comparison to the nicely done Blu-ray release on that one.
Star Trek VI is NOTHING like that here.
I am a Star Trek fan also and have the original TV series on Blu-ray steelbooks, all three seasons, The Next Generation on Blu-ray sets, Voyager Complete series DVD, Deep Space Nine complete series DVD, Star Trek Enterprise complete series on Blu-ray.
Star Trek VII, VIII, IX, X on Blu-ray.
Hopefully Paramount will get us a box set or individual releases of TNG movies on 4K next year.
I recommend this one!

Very solid transfer for ST V: The Final Frontier now on 4K.
Paramount should have done this the first time around, not just the first 4 movies in that box.
Very nice slipcover and artwork.
All special features brought over from previous releases.
A good entry into the Star Trek movie franchise.

Yet another well done 4K steelbook from Lionsgate!
I am really loving these now, with the slipcovers to add to the overall artwork. Why no one other company has done this is a question.
The movie is fantastic and the cast is terrific.
Jeff Bridges plays a Texas Ranger and Chris Pine is one of the brothers on a bank robbery spree in West Texas.
The movie looks and sounds good on the 4K.
Menus are good with easy selections.
We get the 4K, Blu-ray copy, digital copy.
Nice slipcover also.

Flash Gordon isn't for everyone, but it's good.
By laopwh
Flash Gordon isn't for everyone, but it is a good movie set in 1980.the music score is what makes the movie really good because new score is all done by Queen. What makes the steelbook really good as it's the 40th anniversary of the movie itself. Anybody knows the story behind Flash Gordon knows the story itself. Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, and Doctor Zarcough have to find a way to stop Earth's destruction. Not knowing that Ming the Merciless is behind everything and Earth's destruction. Having the 40th anniversary edition come out on steelbook is worth every penny.

Step right up to the counter and play away. Arcade1Up's next generation of countercades is here in a new form factor. Take it right out of the box, plug it in, and start gobbling up pellets. Perfect for home bars, offices, dorm rooms, or anywhere else you'd want to squeeze in some retro gaming, Arcade1Up~s countercades are compact in size, but always an enormous amount of fun. Yep, here she is. Possibly a diva but most definitely an icon, Ms. Pac-Man. Guide her way through those mazes while evading Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Sue. In the mood to switch it up? You've also got the classics Pac-Man, Plus, Galaga, and Dig Dug all inside. Featuring authentic gameplay with real feel controls, Arcade1Up's countercades are the way to bring that classic arcade experience home, even if you're short on space.

Hi, I have Ms. Pac-Man on a tabletop version and it is exact like the genuine ARCADE version from early 80s. In the original version of the game she starts out slow and then she speeds up as you clear a few screens, around the PEACH and APPLE stages.
Is it the same here on the countercade version?
Of interest concerning MS., PAC-MAN on my tabletop, there are several versions of the game. These are the only ones that I know of:
MS. PAC-MAN Original
MS. PAC-MAN Speed-Up
MS. PAC-MAN Plus
MS. PAC-ATTACK

Another great package from Arcade1up
By TRAINMAN0703
The very best aspect of this over Arcade1up's original Pac-Man offering is the upgraded monitor. The original Pac-Man's image would wash out when you looked at it from a slight angle. This rendition does not do that. The image is bright and crisp from any angle. The monitor is also set further back in the cabinet and tilted more, which does not sound like much on paper until you actually play it and compare it to the real arcade machine.
I buy these things solely with modifications in mind, therefore I did not play any of the included games right out of the box. For those who do not "mod" these, the assortment of games is a vast improvement over the chintzy offering of a mere 2 Pac-titles in the last Pac-Man cabinet. I am baffled by the inclusion of "Galaga" however. Pac-Man's "lady friend" would have been great here, but she is getting her own royal treatment (and deservedly so) soon. I must point out that they did change the way the control panel mounts to the cabinet and how the lower two front-facing panels (these are also slightly resized) directly below said control panel install. Because of the alteration(s) to the control panel, you cannot just slide in/out the panels below it, which will make for a tricky assembly process. The shape of the cabinet itself is another notable improvement as it veers much closer to capturing the profile of the real thing. The speakers (yes, speakerS) are now housed behind/under the marquee, which is also far more arcade-like not just in looks but also sound reproduction.
The light-up marquee, light-up (albeit non-prototypical) control deck, bar stool and riser make this package the best value of any Pac-Man 40th anniversary offering, as separate-sale risers are VERY hard to come by; and, to my knowledge, the 40th anniversary-themed bar stool is not sold separately at all. Again, I will gripe that the design on the riser does not look like a natural extension of the cabinet. The faux-wood grain should be on the sides and the black in the front. Oh well. This can be fixed with after-market graphics for those who really feel the need. I think I personally would have preferred the cabinet to be yellow like the 1980 prototype, but the "cabaret" models of the time did indeed have a wood grain finish, albeit with no graphics.
If you did not get the original Pac-Man cabinet from Arcade1up, this is most certainly worthy of consideration. Other than the slightly trickier assembly, this is an improvement in almost every way.

40th Anniversary Special Edition from Best Buy..
September 15, 2020
Hi, great review of the newer version of PAC-MAN from Arcade1up. I am going to get this one for my upcoming 54th bday! Yes, I am showing my age, but, I was 13 when the original cabinet came out. I loved it then and I still love it now. I would have to agree with you on the riser part as per the graphics, but, I think they were going for a contrast look. Agreed also, they should have continued the wood grain on the sides and kept the black on the front to make it look uniform. I do love the SPECIAL EDITION from Best Buy. Not only do you get the light up aspects of the unit, you also get the stand with the graphics.
My only complaint would be the unit having the AUDIO switch setting too loud if you go beyond 1.

That's too bad. I think you got a glitch in the part where the circuit board is. I had the original GALAGA/GALAXIAN game and in some games on the GALAXIAN the screen froze up right in the middle of playing. I was not a happy person. I got rid of it and sold it cheap to someone else that wanted GALAGA, which had no issues.
SUPER PAC-MAN is going to be on the MS. PAC-MAN cabinet coming soon AND there is a SUPER PAC-MAN cabinet from COSTCO that has it on it's own. This just came out within a few days to a week. September 15, 2020. You have to go to COSTCO and find someone with a membership to purchase. You cannot get it online to my knowledge.

Ms PacMan Cabinet
By Oval
Packaging was great and care has been taken to protect the parts in transit. Assembly was about 1.5-2 hours from start to finish. I was taking my time to make sure I didn’t scratch any pcs during assembly. The cabinet looks great and the light up marquee really makes it stand out. The graphics on the riser add a nice touch as well. The cabinet comes with dual speakers and the sound quality is good. I bought the cabinet for Ms Pac-Man but having Dig Dug was a bonus. Overall I’m really happy with my purchase and would recommend.

Definitive!!!
By SirDevoidOfHate
The definitive collection, and probably the last one you’ll ever need (unless they do a 4K release in the future). The first four films have never looked better, period! And if you’re a 3D supporter (we’re a dying breed these days, but we’re out there!) then you will love finally having a proper 3D release of Part 3! Also, having the Unrated Cut of Jason Goes to Hell is a major plus! The bonus features are very informative, though it’s a shame that the Crystal Lake Memories documentary isn’t included. That’s not to take away from what Scream Factory put together. This is an AMAZING collection!

Uncut version of JGTH/Jason X
October 31, 2020
HI, I have this set as well from Shout! Factory and it appears there is a minor audio issue with Jason X. A sound effect is not present when Jason goes to kill a woman character in the movie.
JGTH seems to be missing a scene from other reviewers I have read on. I am not worried about this as I have the UNRATED DVD from Lionsgate already.

Excellent movie. Not perfect, but great movie.
By Misterday
Great movie. But so removed from the original animated movie, you might enjoy it more if you consider them to not have anything to do with each other. There’s no music, no Mushu, no romance. The only real thing making it a Mulan movie is her name is Mulan. They don’t do a great job of making you feel like she’s a boy in the army. It’s a lazy gender bend if you ask me. But the movie has everything a live action Disney movie can want or need. Great story, great special effects, great score, great action and emotion. Just don’t compare it to the cartoon too much and you’ll like it a lot more.

Very pleased, excellent transfer
By NateC
Unlike some other buyers, luckily my copy came right on time and in perfect condition.
The movies themselves are phenomenally mastered with crisp picture, robust hdr color/contrast, and awesome 4k textures I've never seen before on previous inferior versions. These look excellent in my home theater and serve as the new showcase for my system (which used to be Mad Max: Fury Road). The steelbooks are attractive and come with cushioning foam in the slipcase to protect them from rubbing against each other.
Not as much extra content (i.e. The Appendices) as previous versions, so I'll need to keep my old copy as well.

Yes, agreed on the extra content. The Blu-rays have already been previously released, so, I didn't expect them again in these newer sets.

Excellent 1up Arcade game cabinet!
By PacManPlayer
Brings back memories of hanging out at the Arcade with a pocket full of quarters when I was young. My daughter absolutely loves it and we enjoy seeing who can get the high score on this 40th Anniversary Pac-Man. The custom stool is nice and the backlit Marquis and control deck is really nice. The led control deck has a button on the right that can change the colors or slowly rotate through all the colors. The replay value is good for the list of Pac-Man games plus you get Galaga! Very happy.

You're going to hate buying this version when a New 12-1 Legacy Edition is coming, better cabinet, more games, for the same price.

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?

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.
 

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.

Arcade1Up - Pac-Man Legacy 12-in-1 Arcade
 

Does this come with a deck protector as well? I know the most recent ones have had it, but this does not specify.

Set up your gaming room with this Arcade1Up Ms. Pac-Man arcade game console. The classic upright design has a midsize profile for seamless fitting in tight spaces, while the 17-inch LCD screen offers crisp visuals for complete immersion. This Arcade1Up Ms. Pac-Man arcade game console features four games for a complete nostalgic experience, and the coinless operation allows unlimited play.
 

When will you put this out for sale? It's now October 13 days to go until your October 14 release date. Tired of seeing coming soon. Soon has came a gone lets get on with it then.

That is true, but, Best Buy usually has a different version, a lighted marquee, and sometimes games will be different as well.

How difficult is this to assemble ? How does it come in the box? I am worried about the electronics and it being assembled correctly.

HI Buffy, well, I own the STAR WARS unit with the riser and I did not have difficulty in assembling that unit. This unit is fairly good and decent to assemble.
The instructions are fairly well put and easy to understand in the manual.
The items come well packed in the box. If you are picking it up yourself, make sure to look the box over for any damage or openings on the box itself. Do not buy those.
Just make sure it looks good before buying and keep the receipt handy if there are any kind of problems or pieces damaged/missing inside. You can return promptly for exchange or refund.
Double check your wiring when attaching the electronic cables, etc. before finally putting the backboard on with the screwdriver and closing it up. Make sure any switches are turned to the ON position.

I would recommend getting this unit at BEST BUY as it is the best version called the SPECIAL EDITION.

That comes with ~
LIGHTED MARQUEE
LIGHTED PROTECTIVE PLAYER DECK
CUSTOM RISER
CUSTOM STOOL WITH GRAPHICS

Do any of these machines use quarters like a real arcade game or do you just turn it on and play?

No, Arcade 1up machines do not use quarters, only electricity and some frustration when it doesn't work properly. lol

After I pay for the arcade, can geek squad come to my house to assemble the pacman arcade?

Annie, just get a good screwdriver and lay out all pieces, items out as I did. It is not hard to assemble. The instructions are fairly good and detailed. I believe you can do it in a little over an hour. Save your money.
