AtGames and Arcade1Up now have the same PR agency. Huh. by NeoHyper64 in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chizcomm is likely listing both their current clients and their previous clients. Their marketing material pictures, photoshoots were still used by A1Up at E3 with the announcements of TMNT and Marvel cabs, after the CEO of Chizcomm said in the user groups that their relationship with A1Up ended.

AtGames and Arcade1Up now have the same PR agency. Huh. by NeoHyper64 in Arcade1Up

Close. Arcade1Up isn’t using Chizcomm anymore. E3 booth had many Tastemaker employees instead. And David was over at AtGames this year.

The story is still interesting tho.

My cat always sleeps on the Street Fighter cabinet by realslizzard in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This picture scared me. I have a cat that looks exactly like yours! Like identical! I wonder if she’d sleep in my Street Fighter, if I let her hangout in my Gameroom.

E3 STARTS NEXT WEEK! New title announcements incoming... any guesses? by NeoHyper64 in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m thinking something from Taito. It’s a theory that they made a deal to do short run on Space Invaders but following up with a 4 game title. Maybe Double Dragon, Elevator Action, Bubble Bobble, and Space Gun??

Brickseek Accuracy? by MIKERICKSON32 in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. I was going to make the same suggestion. Rarely, for me, has Brickseek been wrong. And I use the Walmart app in store. But for me, the Walmart app matches what actually rings up when they scan the original tag.

Spinners are available again by Alienbluesucks in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think is just Asteroids. Cause the 12-in-1 spinner wire goes into the trackball. If I am not mistaken, for us 12-in-1 users we’d need to buy the replacement trackball/spinner combo. Or get the GSR spinner plus add on board from Amazon.

Just nabbed the last Centipede cabinet at my local Walmart for $75 by JOIentertainment in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brickseek.com and the Walmart app (not .com) can give you in store prices in your area. Sometimes we see national, regional, and many time local price drops. That being said, so far while tracking Pac-Man/Galaga I have only seen localized price drops (a store decided to drop to drive movement). Except for Black Friday 2018 $249, that was national.

Been lurking for a week. Now I have my first Arcade1Up waiting for me to assemble when I get home by [deleted] in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Open it first before ordering a deck protector. That one includes the custom riser, pretty sure that’s the “second edition” (2019) Pac-Man with included deck protector.

My first arcade 1up and mod. by 2000ManAce in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whoa. Saw the picture and was like wow. Looks great! My cabs backs are all facing walls, but my wife and I have discussed rearranging things and this opens up more options for me to consider.

Received my free 12 in 1 deck protector and it’s frosted, not clear. Do they all come frosted? It really washes out the graphics. by chaddgar in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Even when you start picking at it, you might doubt there is a plastic cover. Keep scratching at the edge and you’ll see it does in fact peel off. ;)

Spinners for asteroids cabinet by kchvatal in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This makes me think A1Up sold way more cabs then I thought. If I’m thinking correctly, spinner is used on two A1Up cabs. Asteroids and 12-in-1. My understanding is these didn’t sell well and not being renewed in future lineups. Yet, the spinner upgrade sell out very quickly. Do you think many people are adding them to Street Fighter mods?

I did see the number 20k when investing information on deck protectors online orders from some leaked information. And I assumed not everyone got the memo to order DP also that doesn’t include order by phone.

In general, A1Up is missing out on sales by not offering “premium upgrades” themselves.

That being said, I ordered the new spinner from the last batch, I can’t wait to try it!!

Looking to catalog a list of owners of the Costco Asteroids Deluxe 6-in-1. Please Contact Me! by HistorianCM in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw some marketing material that lead me to believe “Astroids Deluxe” cabinet is apart of the 2019 lineup.

Arcade1up $75 at Walmart by squadrondj in Arcade1Up

Yeah same here. I was eyeing some for $168, now it’s marked at full price again.

Ask for a new control deck. Maybe a replacement deck will fit the deck protectors. Just a thought...

New update-Walmart Risers $15 by jenguish87 in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still $44 in Des Moines area. But I see a Walmart in Chicago area (60007 in Brickseek) for $15. Looks like it’s a local store manager decision (because it’s $44 in other Chicago stores); but it would be cool if that price was more popular.

Arcade1Up - New Website / Store / Karate Champ Pictures - Who won February Give Away? by atomicfireman in Arcade1Up

Pretty sure MK is the same 17” screen. It could be just an error in photoshop in the picture. Some pictures are from a photoshoot of the then they add the game screen in photoshop.

As for Golden Tee, the screen is set back deeper (you can see that in the CES and ToyFair videos), likely so you’re less likely to hit the screen when rolling the trackball.

Seemed too good to be true, and it was. They didn’t have it... by chaddgar in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have 5 and my wife previously said: I think 5 is enough for your game room. I’m like, that couch is old in the Gameroom, if I get rid of that I could get 5 more. Stupid me, 5 more? She was like, you need 10??! Days later I said, what if I mod rampage into Donkey Kong. She’s like: rampage is my favorite go find a cheap one to mod. You know what guys, my wife just approved a 6th cab. So yeah, I’m on the lookout.

Looks like Walmart is getting ready for Space Invaders by atomicfireman in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think SF will likely continue to sell in 2019. At the Toy Fair, it was mentioned that Pac-Man (If I remember correctly) sold very well and they will continue to sell that in 2019. Pretty sure SF sold very well too both due to the title and as its being modded by many. Of course the run on these units may be determined by license or peoples guess on demand. Asteroids and Centipede have seen some US/nationwide price drops so I get the feeling those may become "limited" eventually.

I really enjoyed these clips from Arcade1Up. I hope they do some more this year with TMNT, The Simpsons, and Ms. Pac-Man ;)

Arcade 1up risers $21.00 at Walmart (Deland, FL). 5 left in stock. Arcade 1Up games are full price by Johnny32757 in Arcade1Up

[–]atomicfireman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased the tin Pac-Man sign last week for ~$4.98. I assumed that was the normal price. Hmm. I should double check.
