Arcade1Up - Atari Tempest Legacy Arcade

My hubby and o are big kids now. We have an empty nest and we’ve been enjoying every minute. This was the icing on the cake

THE BEST Arcade Cab I have bought!i Love it, plays Just like THE originals Easy TO put Together

Excellent ! Absolutely love it! Set up is quite easy ! Can’t stop playing ! I have it next to my Pac-Man!

I love playing all of these atari games. The cabinet is fairly easy to put together.

Directions were straightforward and very easy. I took my time and finished in about 45 minutes. The quality of the MDF and vinyl wraps were very nice. The unit felt solid and not wobbly. All of the cuts and drilled holes were spot on. If I buy another I would use wood glue on the wooden pegs. The gameplay is just like I remembered, lots of fun. The only downside (not a deal breaker) is the sound from the speakers. Loud but not quality loud. I plan to upgrade soon with some nice PC speakers and mount them internally. I would definitely buy another game from Arcade 1up!!

Overall this is a pretty good purchase. Pros - it has a trackball and spinner and I love playing Tempest, Crystal Castles, Centipede, and Missile Command; attractive graphics on cabinet that reflect the original; lighted marque; quick boot to menu; easy volume control access on the control panel; included riser (being 6'2" it's comfortable playing this while standing); the spinner works smoothly. Cons - the trackball will end up getting replaced (it's just not very smooth but is still usable), Missile Command is a bit difficult to play not having the three buttons on the left side of the trackball like the original (I will look for a replacement control panel), and typical with any game that includes multiple games there are some that will get played once just to check them out. I had to watch a video on Akka Arrh since it was never released and I had no idea how to play it. Overall I'd say it was a good purchase and it will be enjoyed as part of the game room options.

We bought to play with our grandkids. Love the old school Atari games❤

The title game "Tempest" requires a vertical screen arrangement, however this machine features a horizontal screen which forces tempest to play in a compressed form, not utilizing the entire screen real estate provided in the hardware. This is very disappointing. Also, I've purchased several of these Arcade1up 3/4 size machines. This one was delivered with many flaws out of the box. The artwork was damaged on both the control panel and the sides and the track ball is somewhat gritty and lacking in precision. If I wasn't outside the return period, I'd take this right back to the store.
