Review: Star Wars fans have to get this - Can’t fault it. Delivery was on time and lads who delivered it were really helpful and professional. Easy to assemble with clear instructions. Plugged in and switched on. WOW, it looks and sounds amazing and plays great. Family love it. Brings back great memories. A really big thank you to all involved. Price I thought it might not look or play as good but I was totally wrong. It’s worth every penny. Good strong quality parts. The look of it with the art work and lighting even down to the illuminated coin slots are fantastic. I’m a Star Wars fan anyway and this is just prefect.
Review: Fantastic Family Fun. - This is an Arcade 1UP machine that includes 3 Star Wars games that were release in the arcade at the end of the 90s. The games focus on the original trilogy i.e. Episode IV A New Hope, Episode V The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI: Return Of the Jedi. The first, and original game, is based on the battle of Yarvin i.e. the attack on the Death Star. It is a 3D vector based game. Initially waves of tie fighters will attack as you fly towards the Death Star. Even Darth Vaders ship joins in the fun and you can hear classic quotes from the movie such as "I have you now", "i have lost R2", "use the force Luke", while all the time the classic John Williams score plays in the background (bliss!). Once you survive the tie fighter onslaught you then proceed to fly down the trench and launch torpedoes at the end into the exhaust vent to blow up the death star, in accordance with the climactic end of the movie. The second game, based on The Empire Strikes movie, centres around the battle of Hoth. You start the mission by investigating the imperial probe droids as per the beginning of the movie. You then pilot your x-wing to attack the AT-AT and AT-ST transports, by wrapping toe cables around there legs, as per the icon scheme in the movie. It uses the same vector graphics that were so successful in the first game and build upon that. The 3D game is based on Return Of The Jedi and is based on the battle of Endor. This game is more of an isomorphic 3D view rather than the vector graphics of the first too. So for me these games hold a lot of nostalgia. As a youngster I loved these machines in the arcades and played them frequently. At the time I felt they were difficult and I spent a lot of 10p on them :). Since then I have played a lot of games on various PCs/consoles however these have not lost there charm for me. As far as I can remember these faithfully recreate those happy memories and take me back. Whilst the graphics are simplistic I think the use of vector graphics has a timeless essence around it and was a great choice back in the day. As a result they have aged better than a lot of retro games on 8/16bit machines that employed sprite based graphics. At the heart of the games however is simple yet addictive game play that will keep you coming back and that's something that is timeless. The 3rd game in the trilogy isn't vector based and the graphics haven't ages that well, perhaps the scaling or increased resolution of modern monitors haven't helped. Perhaps it's just showing it's age. I'm not saying that the 3rd game isn't compelling, it is, yer it's probably the one your going to play the least and possibly the most frustrating of the three. In terms of the 1Up arcade machine itself it comes in an almost IKEA flatpack format. Empty your recycle bin before you order because these things are so well packed. If you have put IKEA furniture together before then I wouldn't say this was any more tricky than that. Armed with a single cross head screwdriver the assembly took me approximately 2 hours in total. The majority of the assembly was very straight forward and I was able to do it myself. The instructions seemed clear and easy to follow. There was a tricky part, when assembling near the marquee/top of the machine. At that point I was thinking that if I could get an extra pair of hands from a family member for 5 mins I might be slightly less frustrating. When I finally noticed that the screen wasn't quite sitting correctly in the groove then it all fell into place after that. The other gotchas I found with assembly were that, when I removed the screen protector it left pieces of polythene around the screws in the screen. I left this for a while but it did start to bother me a little therefore I was able to remove the screws on by one and remove the remaining pieces of plastic. Finally when constructing the riser consider that the graphics should align with the graphics on the main unit. I managed to somehow get the left and right panels swapped and the artwork on the riser doesn't quite match that on the main body. You know what, it's not a big deal to fix, however I am going to leave that for now and fix it another day :). As a not particularly strong, 5'8" middle aged male I didn't find any issue with lifting the body of the machine up and slotting it into the riser. Considering the cabinet itself it's such a fantastic recreation what with the faux coin slot, the light-up marquee and fantastic artwork. The control joke feels to me possibly slightly lighter that the arcade original to me however it doesn't at all feel cheap or fragile. One final thing I did was to buy a small "adjustable appliance dolly wheel cart" here on desertcart and used it to both raise the unit by a few inches and provide a set of wheels to allow the unit to be moved around in the room or be locked in place. At a height of 5'8" looking straight at the cabinet my eye-line is now at the marquee. Therefore will the added height I only have to bend my neck slightly and therefore it's more ergonomic. So would i recommend this? As a middle age man who loved it in the arcades, loves the original trilogy of movies and is a big fan of Star Wars the wholeheartedly yes. The cabinet brings back memories of those simpler, happier time of my youth and has very straight forward but compellingly gameplay that will keep you coming back. My teenage son, who isn't really into sci-fi and is very much generation Z, also enjoyed playing on the unit. For me the only doubt would be around the price. It's currently selling on desertcart for £700 pounds and that would buy you a good mid range laptop or decent phone that you could play retro games on. I got it when it was 30% off and I'm happy that I purchased the unit. May the force by with you ... always!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Item price went up £100 for no reason**
A: Amazon had this on promotion for a while. Normal retail for this item is £699. Which is what i paid. I screamed for a while after it went down. But anything cheaper than £699 is a bargain. And at only 1500 in that batch in europe,you will be glad at getting it for any price,as it is arcade 1 ups best ever cabinet.

**Q: How much does it cost to play each game?**
A: You're taking the mickey, right? It's FREE... You built the thing, plug it in and you've got three games to play FOR FREE...

**Q: Does this come flatpack? Are the electrics easy to put together?**
A: "Hi" Yes it come's flatpack & very easy to follow instruction's. The build time for me was about 1hr 30min. I'm sure 1up arcade want you to able to build the arcade with no stress, & have made it easy for us all to have fun, enjoy the process/experience of building the 1up arcade, to then play it :) Only four wires inside need to be connected, one from the marque light, another for the coin slot light's, the flight yoke & speaker's.
Hope this help's? and may the force be with you, if you buy it lol. :)

**Q: Can you customise this cabinet to add the Roadblasters and Firefox games - that also used the same controller?  What is the software - Retroarch?**
A: Hi not sure if you could customise this cabinet to play the Roadblasters & Firefox games, what a shame they did not include those games here in this cab because they all play with the flight yoke. Sorry not sure what software is used, but before my purchase of the STARWARS 1up arcade I do have them on my PC running through MAME emulator. The flight yoke is available to buy on AMAZON for around £200 and connected to PC by USB, it ships from America to UK. Hope this helps to give you  some ideas of what to do :)
