While the initial runs of these machines had issues the company has been very responsive in sending out replacements parts.

If you were looking to make your own retropi/mame cabinet… I challenge you to find Controls and Cabinet for less than $75. There are a number of Facebook Groups and at least one Sub-Reddit dedicated to helping you you get the most out of your purchase.

Prices as low as $75, seen some $150's out there too in ZIP 27612If you need Technical Support or Service:

Just got my $75 Centipede cabinet set up and I'm pretty happy with the trackball controls. Not as good as in the arcade, but pretty decent all things considered.

Love the look of the thing. The classic Centipede art just looks so cool.

Now to wait for Rampage and SFII to hit $75 lol.

I wonder why the SFII cabs haven't dropped in price, but the rest are.
Because 1) SFII is probably the most popular title between old school people who actually went to arcades and new school people who know what it is and 2) the SFII cabinet is the most desirable if you're going to mod it since it has the 6 button horizontal configuration that is appropriate for a ton of other games.

Anyone know how big the box is? I'm wondering if it fits easily in a trunk of a car.

Very thin, and about 24"x48"

Quote from Yuppiejr :
Out of the box, Centipede is a better playing cabinet in it's stock configuration just because the crappy spinner in the Asteroids cab feels more like the volume control pot on a bad boom box than a proper arcade control, though you can buy an upgraded replacement from A1Up for $30. The Centipede spinner in these can be fickle but there's a lot of good info on tweaking them with a bit of lube and alignment of the optical element to make it work well.

Centipede is a vertical oriented screen, Asteroids is standard 5:4 aspect ratio... both have unique controls compared to the other cabs, an experience that's less common than joystick controls in other types of games these guys are putting out. If it's your thing, I'd grab these while they are available, or perhaps the 12-in-1 Atari cab if it goes on clearance.
Thank you. Bought it and looking to see what to buy next: Street Fighter, Galaga, Rampage or Pac-Man. I can get them but only space for one ..

Great idea. The control deck isn't available though.

Centipede all 75 near me.. all limited stock (generally pointless to go looking when it says that)

rampage all 300 around me.

I seen in the ad few days ago they got mortal kombat 2 cabinets now.. which imo was the best "arcade" mortal kombat.

The cabinets are small though.. the store had one on display but you couldn't do anything other than hit start button (controls had plexi over them)
The single player games are probably ok size wise, just get a stool or build a base to bring the cabinet up for avg size adult play.. kids are probably gtg.

Even if you can get the hardware to run mame I'd say if you're going to be serious about a cabinet build your own.. or buy one off craigs list.

If you're not the builder type then I'd say Rampage is the cabinet to get it and forget it.

fighters like SF2 would be the best for any sort of half has mame conversion cause it already has a very good 6 button layout, although many arcade games followed the jamma standard of 3 buttons + 8way joystick.

If you are just gonna buy a cabinet to play with no plans to modify avoid fighting games.. without a 2nd player fighting games loose their luster extremely fast.

that's why games like pac-man, galaga, centipede did so well in the arcades because of replay value and you don't need a 2nd player for it to still be fun.

rampage would be a good choice for it's 3 player action if you can actually fit 3 players on the small cabinet and is "ok" even by your self.

The new UPC code one might include the deck protector to prevent the artwork from rubbing off. I was able to snag one for $75 and it did not come with the deck cover

Contact them and they will send you a deck cover. You just need to show them your receipt. They're sending me one right now.

Can't find Centipede locally for $75. Walmart.com now has it down to $174.99 so maybe at some point it will hit $75-$100 online.

They sent mine out a couple days ago. I too had heard the offer expired a couple months ago but they're still honoring it. I'm waiting until mine arrives to play more because the paint was chipped off mine even before I started using it so I'd like to save as much as I can.
