Other than OG SF, the collection of games on this is good. That said, if you're interested in this, get a tape measure, extend it 19", then have a friend stand next to you and pretend to play. Keep in mind that 19" is the total width and the P1 joystick and P2 buttons are each about 1.5" to 2" from the edge, so the actual control deck is more like 16" for two people. It's not that you can't do it...it's if you want to do it. Original units were around 27-30" wide if memory serves.

Are you saying this is smaller than the first generation arcade 1ups?

It's not surprising but kind of funny that when a recession starts people start to go "Yeah you know what I don't need to buy an arcade machine to play a game I already on on 8 different platforms"

The only bad thing I saw about this model is the controls are close together compared to the OG and newer versions.

17" screen sounds like it's too small

I own the MK I, II, III Ultimate version and it's great. Arcade Up creates these mini versions to save space. $250 (cabinet) + $100 (riser) is not bad at all considering what it is. I vaguely remembered my rich friends in HS got a SF II Championship Edition at their house. It may have been 3k. In the 90's that was a lot of cash bro. I'm in finance and my poor parents would not have entertained that idea. I would have gotten a beating just for wishing.

But I digress. You could always use/repurpose the cabinet, swap out with a PI and run your emulation platform.

They couldn't have taken off a couple of the Street Fighter re-releases and added other games?

No, sorry for the ambiguity. When I said original units, I mean if you played SF2 in an arcade/bowling alley/pizza parlor. If that describes you, you're probably bigger now and this unit is smaller....as I said, it's POSSIBLE to play on this (obviously, or it wouldn't have made it to market), but it'll be different from what you remember and possibly a bit uncomfortable.

First of all every control panel arrangement lends itself to a limited number of games. This arrangement lends itself to fighting games. Don't expect them to commit marketing and licensing suicide by going cross franchise on a single cabinet just to please you. Secondly, do you really think you're going to get 12 "A" grade games? Most of these cabs only have about 4 titles. You're lucky if it has 2 that you like.

Some of the games included aren't fighting games and Capcom had tons of obscure arcade games around this time that they could have put in. At the very least they could have included Street Fighter 3. Three different versions of the same game makes no sense.

The standard Arcade1Up cabinet is 19" wide. It was originally conceived as a one player at a time cabinet. Putting multiple players at the cab at once is only fun for a little while. (Some cabs like most of the Rampages have 3 players punching buttons at the same time on that narrow console.)

The 17" LCD is actually sufficiently large. Your face ends up considerably closer to it than say if you are working on a 17" laptop.

The big problem with these cabs is related to posture. They were designed for children 5-10 years old, not adults. The 12" riser doesn't help. If sitting it puts the LCD just a tad high, but the controls are way too high to play comfortably. As an adult of average height, I've found that to sit in a normal chair with my back straight and my hands and arms in a comfortable position, the ideal rise is only about 6". The drawback is that you end up looking down at the display and your neck hurts after a while. If you want to play in a standing position, the 12" riser is too short. I've never researched it but 18" is probably close to ideal.

In the early days of video gaming, (1980's) they had these cabinets called "Cabaret" size. If you took an Arcade1Up cabinet and stretched it vertically about a foot or so, that's what it looked like. It had a small footprint but still allowed for decent standing posture. Of course, I was a little younger back then and could stand for hours on end.

I remember standing in line and watching the guy in front of me return a couple of these. Thought to myself why go through the hassle. Then I realize these things are tiny and problably only made for young kids. Checked the height and it says 44 inches- means you might have to add 2 feet for a standard adult. Now you could sit in a chair but that defeats the purpose of a cabinet-just buy a game system.
