~ Missing In Action remastered edition from Kino ~

What a great job KINO LORBER has done on this movie from 1984. I believe this may be the best it has looked since it's debut. Brand new HD Master from a 4K scan of the original camera negative. So, it does show here on this new Blu-ray version.
Same special features as appears on the Shout Factory version, the interview with the screen writer, theatrical trailer, audio commentary by Director Joseph Zito.
Added are several Chuck Norris movie trailers, which are fantastic.
Kino always does this with their releases, if possible.

If you don't already own the Blu-rays that have been out for several years now and only want the 4Ks themselves, I recommend the individual package with the first 4 in the series. That does have the digital copies as well.
I am a steelbook collector, so I got this edition.
The steelbook has a non-glossy satin finish to it and it works well.

![Pitch Black - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/b769e8ce-ab5b-4b5c-837d-caac4c95cdb0.jpg)
THERE'S A NEW REASON TO BE AFRAID OF THE DARK. A sci-fi/horror sleeper hit that birthed a franchise and launched the career of a new action movie icon, Pitch Black holds it's own today as a nerve-shredding creature-feature in which the monsters outside finally meet their match against a monster within. When an intergalactic transport ship crashes on a remote desert planet with no sign of help on the horizon, the survivors, led by Fry (Radha Mitchell), band together to find a way back home. Among the passengers is Riddick (Vin Diesel), a convicted murderer being transported by marshal Johns (Cole Hauser) - and now freed of his chains and on the loose. But as a solar eclipse plunges the planet into total darkness, a threat even worse than Riddick reveals itself, and the last humans standing may have to form an uneasy truce with the cunning fugitive (whose eyes have been surgically altered to see in the dark) to last the long night. Boasting crackerjack direction and a whip-smart script by David Twohy, as well as a star-making performance by Diesel, Riddick's first outing is freshly unleashed in an illuminating, brand new 4K restoration, with hours of exclusive bonus content.

In one of Vin Diesel's Sci-Fi classics, he's a prisoner on board a doomed space ship that crash lands on a planet inhabited by vile underground creatures. They only come out once the day light goes down. He must then be trusted by the others to get a plan together to get off the planet.
As time goes on, one by one they get "picked off" by the creatures.

A definitive must buy on this set! If you love these two actors in this buddy cop movie setting, you are going to really like this.
This set is really nice, a good slipcover, 2 4Ks, 2 Blu-rays and digital code for 19.99. I could not pass that up, had to have for the Eddie Murphy 4K movies and these itself.
Nice special features and movies look and sound great.
Probably not going to get much better than this set folks.
The individual sets are much higher in price.
Get this set soon if you can find 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

Is this price with riser and bench
Yes, this is the SPECIAL EDITION version, NOT the Walmart version. Hence the price difference. Custom CHAIR and LIGHT UP DECK play area are part of this version.

Can junior pacman be added?
I don't think so on this unit. It is unfortunate because it would make it the most complete PAC MAN unit for sale this size. The unit does not have a USB port or says smart capable. It has the other 6 PAC MAN games, plus GALAGA.

Yes, the extra game is GALAGA. The other 6 are PACMAN, hence the PAC MAN Anniversary theme.

Is the dimensions listed above with or without the riser?
I believe the dimensions listed in the specifics are with the RISER included for the total.

Can centipede be added
No, it doesn't look like it on this unit. This does not have a USB port or smart capability. It's mostly a PAC MAN anniversary edition with GALAGA added for a total of 7.
It does not even have a trackball, which would be needed for CENTIPEDE. It is virtually impossible to play that with a joystick. I know, I have it on a tabletop with no trackball.
