    Quoted from Damonator:

    I loved my DoT environmental when I had it, but *oh my gosh* was it a beast. I would guess 700lbs. In the end, I just couldn’t justify taking up a spot where a pinball could be. But I do miss it.
    If they ever did an arcade 1up with Dragons Lair 1/2 and Space Ace 1/2, it would sell SO well. Daphne was a great emulation attempt, but never felt quite 100%.

    Dragon's Lair/Space Ace are coming, with art sets for both styles, but I'm curious on the emulation as well. New Wave Toys did an awesome job on their mini-cade package, so I'm hoping A1Up's follows the same emulation. The one thing I hope A1Up changes is their idea for needing to dock your phone above the screen to emulate the LED scoring.

    As for Tron, I added myself to the pre-order craziness. My only other two must-buys are Dragon's Lair and Track & Field.

    Quoted from jfrank:

    Track & Field. Absolutely! Wonder how a 1up would take the button beating. Back in the day, I would wear out some t&f buttons.

    Hell yeah they do. Those buttons are pretty easy to replace, though, so not too worried there.

    Track&Field was confirmed in a leak a while back, along with Tron, Simpsons, XMen and a few others from what I remember, so hoping we see it by 1st quarter of 2022.

    Quoted from ChiPin1978:

    - What's the 10% coupon??

    It's a Target Circle offer. Unfortunately, Tron is sold it, but you can use it on other electronics or A1Up cabs, but it only applies to 1 thing. There's also one for 25% off of one toy, which really helps if you've got kids and are doing early Christmas shopping.

    Quoted from Hop-Pac:

    Like zombywoof said. The spinner is complete trash. Out of the box, mine barely turned and didn't even register in the game. I ordered an aftermarket one and it spins for days.
    The game plays fine, just plan to replace the spinner right out of the box.

    So the spinner is still crap on this new model, using switches??? I had picked up the old 12-in-1 and replaced it with the version you can find on Amazon (I think the spinner and board were around 30-40 back then?), and it plays loads better. I also replaced the trackball with an LED one, but found it to be VERY sensitive in relation to the stock one.

    This spinner issue has me concerned on TRON now if the new tempest cab is still using the spinner type from the old runs.

    Quoted from nicoga3000:

    I'm thinking about this one + the Atari Legacy cab. It's easy to build a MAME for traditional games, but spinners and trackballs feel like more work than they're worth.

    They are SUPER easy to install and are plug-and-play, so I wouldn't let that deter you unless the extra cost is your concern. I really only think the spinner is a necessary upgrade, as the trackball on the old 12-in-1 and GT are not THAT bad. Can't speak for the newer tempest 12-in-1, though.

    Ordered mine from Wal-Mart. Won't get here until Monday, but excited to see everyone's builds and comments.

    I really like it! People are complaining about the spinner, and yeah, it’s no tornado spinner that goes for minutes, but it does its job in the game just fine. The trigger on the handle is really stiff and clicky, but I’m fine with it. People also say the shooting is slow, but it seems good to me, although I’m no pro at the game. Man, though, the art pops like crazy with the blacklight and no photos do it justice.

    ***On a big note when you first turn it on, the color changing light on the bottom of the screen may not turn on with its button press. I thought it was broke and was about to shoot A1Up an Email, but my daughter turns the machine back on to play and it does an update, and now the light works and cycles colors with each press.
