These are so cool. https://newwavetoys.com They are making 12 inch versions of centipede and tempest. Wood cabs, and they are direct ports from arcade rather than Atari home console ports. $169, but are 10% off this week. Gameplay and sounds seem dead on.
Quoted from Brtlkat:Pretty cool, But for a couple hundred more you could have the full size arcade.
But if you live in a 250 square foot apartment, this size is ideal. 
If anyone is on the fence about getting one, they're on sale through Monday 11/26 for $119 shipped!
Use code BLACKFRIDAY119
Tempting tempest... but yeah; I'm going to wait for a real review as I'm concerned about the spinner..
I have Dragons Lair on my RasberryJAMMA in the gameroom - but I do love the original (mini) design of the New Wave cab. Also love the independent scoring displays like the arcade version. Jeese - I spent SO much money on Dragons Lair when that came out in the arcade; Don Bluth should just gift me one
I have the Tempest mini cab. It pretty damn cool, but the spinner does suck (clickety-click). I think they did the best the could without a weighted spinner.
Dragons lair was the first game to charge .50 cents and there was always a line up to play. Spent many allowances on this game.
This one will have HDMI output !
I have a question for any fellow Centipede owners. A couple of months ago I was lucky to find one of these new at my local Best Buy. After trying to play it from time to time since then and always discovering the battery had died, I did some searching online to discover a firmware upgrade fixed a phantom battery leak issue. (It needs a special cable to install from your PC which New Wave Toys ships for free.)
So I fully charged the unit, then installed the firmware. (Curiously it failed at first. Then I tried again and it showed a success.) By the next day, my battery was showing half charged after no play. On day two it was showing no charge, but I could still power it on and from there I played two games. After three days, it shut down in the middle of booting up since it couldn't run any longer.
I've got to ask - does that seem right? I was most certainly expecting more battery life than that. I thought the firmware update went through. Is there any way to be sure?
