Walmart [walmart.com] has the Arcade1Up, Atari Tempest Legacy 12-in-1 Cabinet for $199 + Free Shipping

FYI - This is the "Basic" model with no riser or light up marquee. Also, this may be the model with the trackball that needs fixing or lubricating out of the box [youtube.com] so it doesn't break down.

About this Cabinet
  • 17" Color LCD screen
  • 12 Games in 1
  • Real-Feel Arcade Controls
  • Coinless operation
  • Adjustable Variable Volume
  • Custom shaped "Cabinet" design
  • Printed Coin Door Graphic Kickplate
  • Assembled Dimensions (LxWxH): 22.75 x 19.00 x 45.80 Inches (w/o riser)
  • Included Games:
    • Asteroids®
    • Centipede®
    • Major Havoc®
    • Missile Command®
    • Akka Arrh
    • Crystal Castles®
    • Tempest®
    • Millipede®
    • Gravitar®
    • Liberator™
    • Asteroids Deluxe®
    • Space Duel

To me, this is one of those cabs you want for the special controls with a spinner and trackball. Plus...it's friggin' Tempest! And you can make a $10 wooden riser box to your height and paint it black (or go all out and order custom Atari/tempest graphics to put on it).
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

OP, this does have a light-up marquee, HOWEVER, this is the "old" (inferior) cab that came out over a year ago going by the Walmart pics of it.

This one in the video below is the newer and imo better version (note the differences in the marquee - this one has the slanted marquee). I believe the vertical dimensions are also bigger and is much more playable than the older one w/o a riser needed (proof if this is in this video of a 6'3" man playing it WITHOUT a riser:

I like the game list.... but man if it had Marble Madness I'd be so in...
So $199 looks to be the new low for these cabs. That's a lot more palatable.

I couldn't resist.....This is the only Arcade 1up cabinet i have wanted as the games were standouts and really only truly play well with a trackball or a spinner.

I figure if I change my mind this is easy to return within 90 days or someone will gladly pay more than I paid for it locally.

Even though this version doesn't seem to have the light up marque, does anyone know if the control box has the plug for the lights at least?

Yes, I am building mine now and along with the speaker out and power in, it does have the output jack for lights on the control box. Just doesn't have the wire so you'll have to buy it.

For those that have a lit marquee (or use the jack for the lit volcano button mod), is the output for the led strip 5V or 12V? Input to the control box from the brick is 12V.

Quote from SkilledTongue69 :
Why do people need to come on here and thread crap? We all know these are fake arcade machines with limited use. Emulation is fun....but it involves more work or a PC system looks boring. But for us 70/80's kids, we love them. I own a Asteroid, Centipede and Pac Man Legacy edition. Since I have most of the games on my Asteroid and Centipede machines, I don't need this. Though if my wife wouldn't complain....I would buy this!!!
They were better games than this cellphone stuff many of these kids are playing. I would really love a Donkey Kong version, as well as a John Elway's Quarterback, that would be Epic! Other than that, maybe yie ar king fu.

Oh and how about throwing an HDMI socket on them, so you can record the sessions.

This may be mentioned in another thread, but it looks like Walmart also has the Street Fighter version and the Mortal Kombat Version on Rollback for $199.

I posted an edited comment on my post, but I just want to reiterate it in plain English for those wondering about the marquee.

I received my cabinet today. The marquee is NOT lit on these WALMART NO RISER LEGACY cabinets. This would be true for the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat versions, as well.

They do have versions with a lit marquee and a riser available at a higher cost. Those are available at both Walmart and Best Buy (and maybe a couple other retailers). I didn't personally care about the lit marquees and had a few risers I picked up on clearance, so this version made sense for me.

Hope that helps clear up any confusion.

Well, I got 2 of these (this and mortal combat) for less than 1 with lit marquee and riser. Plan to sit, so riser not needed...

Yep, these are a great deal, especially if you don't need the riser or can still find them on clearance. Plenty of graphics companies out there that can do some graphics later; even add a marquee, if you get the itch…all for less than what the riser/lit marquee versions are selling for. I have a couple (Final Fight and 40th Pac-Man) sitting on the generic black A1U risers and they look fine. Someday I'll add some graphics to them or maybe put in kit marquees, but it's definitely not a priority at this point. Glad you were able to score some deals. I have yet to buy one of these units at full price; I own 4 of them (Final Fight $50, Simpsons $199, 40th Pac-Man $125, and Tempest $199) and have 3 risers ($20, $25 x2). There are definitely deals to be had. I also have an AtGames Legends Pro Gamer on a pedestal that I got for $100 on sale and added CoinOPS X to it.

Well just put this together and...fun! Perfect size to sit on an ottoman and play. My teen daughter digs missle command and paperboy on other. I have a pandoras box, but there is just something about playing with these controls - tempest must have wheel. Gotta say the trac ball kinda sucks; any way to tweak it?

Looks like the "slanted" marquee is after market; he says so in the beginning of the video. I don't think any of the arcade1up versions of the marquee are slanted.

A1Up does not have any versions with the slanted marquee. The model in this thread does NOT have the light up marquee. However, for $69 the one from The Arcade Game Factory is very nice and with the reworked speaker frame (move speakers from A1Up stock frame to the AGF frame) and makes it slanted like the arcade.

The waterfall control deck is sweet too, but don't think they are made at this time:
