A true gem of a horror movie from 1980!
The movie looks fairly good now in this format. There's more detail, of course throughout.
A former pet alligator makes its way to the sewer system and becomes a lethal giant terrorizing all who enter.

Wow, what a beautifully done steelbook! Thank you Sony for doing this on the Anniversary of the movie.
We get everything here in this edition, 4K, Blu-ray copy, digital copy. The 2 discs have artwork on them, which is nice also.
The movie looks and sounds better than ever on the 4K TV and Sony player, in my opinion.
I have at least 200 4Ks in my library and this is one of the best WWII movies.
Sir Alec Guiness gives a great performance here.

*The only gripe I would say on the steelbook is that the inside itself does not have artwork, It is a subdued pinkish color. The discs are housed on the right side and you have the room for the digital copy on the left side.

PATHETIC EARTHLINGS... WHO CAN SAVE YOU NOW? Super producer Dino de Laurentiis (Dune, Barbarella) brought Alex Raymond's beloved cartoon strip and the long running movie serial to the big screen with celebrated director Mike Hodges (Get Carter, Black Rainbow) at the helm, in a delirious space opera, where Flash is King of the Impossible! Merciless Emperor Ming (Max von Sydow) decides to wreak havoc on Earth in a moment of cruel boredom. Boarding a rocket as a means of escape, star quarterback Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones), Dale Arden (Melody Anderson) and Dr. Hans Zarkov (Topol) find themselves on Mongo. Taken prisoner Flash must save Dale from becoming Ming's concubine, avoid the amorous intention's of Ming's wicked daughter Aura (Ornella Muti) and unite the warring Kingdoms of Mongo. With endlessly repeatable dialogue, inimitable camp style, the sonic stylings of Queen and a delightful band of characters and actors playing them it's no wonder Flash Gordon has become one of the most beloved sci-fi spectacles of it's era with directors such as Edgar Wright, Taika Waititi and Seth MacFarlane paying tribute to it in their work.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Are the 13 games included
No, there is only 7 included here for this unit. You are thinking of another unit that is more expensive and is not made by ARCADE 1up.

HI! DO THIS PAC-MAN ARCADE GAME CONSIST OF ONE OR TWO PLAYESR? DO THIS SAME ARCADE GAME COMES WITH A RISER?
Yes, it has 1 or 2 players. Yes again, this unit does have the custom riser AND THIS UNIT is a SPECIAL EDITION unit, different from the WALMART version.
This unit has the LIGHT UP DECK PROTECTOR as well as THE MARQUEE. It also has a CUSTOM STOOL with it, that WALMART DOES NOT HAVE. Hence, the price difference.

Is this regular arcade size
No, it is about 3 quarters size. All Arcade 1up cabinets are pretty much the same size, overall. I would highly recommend getting ones with the custom riser as it adds about 1 foot to the height. I have the STAR WARS unit with the custom riser and it is really nice.

Do the device have to be in a climate controlled area?
Well, as with any electronic device, I would think you should have it protected from the elements and any high humidity levels. I have 2 video game units, a STAR WARS arcade 1up with riser, and a Tabletop unit with 3 player sides. They are protected at all times.

Will this include the original theatrical version? Lucas's version with added footage is not the great memory I have of the Star Wars trilogy. I sure hope they give us at least both versions and not just his official version.
Sorry movielover, but the versions you are describing are NOT in this set and probably will never be offered again.
The only way to get the 1977, 1980, 1983 "versions" are the following:
The 2004 DVD sets that were made before "Revenge of the Sith" came out in 2005. (Official Release) *The quality on those were atrocious for DVD format ability at the time.
The 1995 THX VHS sets (official release)
The 1995 THX Laserdisc individual movies (official release)
The very first VHS versions that ever came out in the 1980s (official release) *Quality on those are poor for today's TVs.
The "Despecialized" manufactured on demand Blu-rays (unofficial release) *You can find out how to get those online as I don't have that info. here.
Now that Kathleen Kennedy is no longer a part of the SW movie making process, I have hope that one day in the future we may get an official 4K release of the original trilogy.

Does this, as well as the other movies, include the bonus/extra content like the behind the scenes? And is it the same as the ones you get in $250 complete saga box set?
Yes, it is the same content, Gio. The individual sets have slipcovers and contain the 3 discs/digital copy. Same amount of discs for each movie in the box set. The digital copies are also included in the box set.
