I don't think you mentioned it but the bezel art on the mini was pretty much the bezel art from the cabaret.

Did anyone notice that the bezel artwork is more comparable to John's cabaret cabinet?

Thanks John for this awesome video Monday morning, it makes Monday more bearable

21:45 a lot of love did not go into making that popcorn maker.

Great episode John! Love the packaging for the Centipede Replicade!

John, wow love it. So true to the real arcade. Love the background arcade noise in your basement. Pole position, frogged, dragons lair. I was 14 at northland mall Aladdin’s castle for a few minutes. Love it. These younger guys just don’t understand. Lol so awesome.

Hi John, I love the way you take safety first and strap the centipede in the car. Good review and nice to hear another one of your killscreens song as the soundtrack. Keep up the good work. Thanks

Strapping it in was a nice touch but my heart leapt at 14:43 when it almost got knocked off the table - great catch there, I don't think even Future John could have saved that if you'd missed.

The Centipede sitting in the passenger seat with the seatbelt on made me laugh. Very cute little machine. And as always good video John.

That is awesome john love it

That's cute! Ty for the video John.

For Halloween, John should make a fake graveyard of his gone and removed games that are no longer in the basement and each one with a clever epitaph. Turbo: Lost it’s steering wheel! What an ordeal! Time Pilot: It’s time in the basement flied too quickly. Qix: The simple Qix left the basement to bring in new games with a unique mix. Popeye: Sea you later captain! . Punch-Out!!: Was given the killing K.O. punch to the screen, but has now revived from the dead at Jays: bigger badder and more violently mean. Super Break Out: *Im not dead guys! :D I’m just busy working at Johns office!* Domino Man: His quick toppling depart from the basement didn’t help him forget his troubling start, as he began as a outhouse for mice to take a nasty shart. Star Wars: The force will always be with you even if you are far away with Jay. Moon Patrol: Your mission for the basement has now been accomplished! Whirlwind: The only severe storm we ever loved has now ended. Simpson’s Pinball Party: Doh! Why did it have to go! Asteroids Deluxe: An Atari classic that brought a smile to our face. But now has finally blasted off, into heavenly outer space. While it is so sad to see it go away, but it will be in our hearts in a permanent special place. Black Knight: The Black Knight once fought other pinball machines both left and right, it’s black shiny armor quickly faded out of sight. Toobin’: It floating away did not wash away our sorrows.

I love that you buckled the replicade, lol. That's something I've done with retro video game finds.

Thank you for another awesome video😎

Hey John I’m an up and comer here on KZread, you have inspired me to collect and restore arcades. My first project (recorded on KZread that is) I’m doing a Tutankham restoration got my video up hopefully everyone can watch my progression. Thanks for everything you’ve taught me so far I think you’re a great asset to the gaming community.

I think it's worth about 50-75 dollars. 160.00 is kinda crazy.

14:44 I flinched to catch it😂 great seeing more vids John👍

I'd love to see you review the Tempest one!

Cool little machine ;)

I think the mini quarters maybe were for the “got next”effect 😆. Put them on the control panel for display. Not a Centipede fan but would be interested in buying one of a different game. They did a great job and really like the lighting/detail.

This is amazing tho, loved the little cab

It seems to have a slight bit of audio lag, but then again, the Arcade1up machines (Atari cabinets, as well as Rampage from what I've seen) have it as well, probably the same emulation (MAME). How's the video scaling? Is it consistent size in all directions? (Minimal or heavy distortion is size of things based on resolution.)

I got my entry in :) these look wonderful

Awesome!

Love that mini centipede was buckled in for the ride home. Bonus kickstarter item should be a mini hand truck or dolly to roll it around. :D

Holy crap... KZread finally showed your video on my subscription feed. I haven't seen your videos on my sub feed for over 6 months it seems.

Signed up.. Fingers crossed.. Great Vid Thanks....

Love it.

Even Arcade impossible putting up more vids then john these days...

I like that synthpop song a lot.

We truly are living in the era of the revived arcade. These mini units are coming out, all over the place. This is an amazing luxury item, indeed. However, I've got to wonder for luxury items how this one is going to stand up to the Arcade1Up 4 foot model that is about to be released in just a few days. (Whom does include Millipede.) Granted, there is no coin door on the thing. But, you get four games for (either) $300. (Or $400. Waiting to see which price winds up being true.) Of course, if one doesn't have the home space for a small arcade, this one definitely fits the bill. The micro quarters are a strange thing, indeed. Definitely a hard thing to keep from losing. I suppose like the guys over at IGN were showing, this mini works great as a conversation piece with a scale model action figure at the controls. And I don't think working slots would have been too hard. Coin devices would probably jam too easily. Though, I could see a tiny electric eye that watches an internal LED as a good round-a-bout to this while the coin could have dropped into that internal coin bucket.

Pretty sure the $300 price point was for pre-orders. Maybe $400 after it hits the market officially? Either way, still quite a bit "bang for the buck" better than this lovely gadget that looks great but costs WAY TOO MUCH.

For 1/6 collectors this is a must buy and those usually cost 150-1500 depending if it´s display or just one figure or item. I don´t think many 1up buyers would even consider something like this. Same way arcade enthusiasts would ever consider 1up over real cabinet.

the shots of the replicade cenitpede strapped in as you drove out to the hangar, LOL! I imagine they prolly had to make some concessions on the sideart to compensate for the taller monitor (since it's not full-size) Seems really cool! Though I think for double that price, you could get the 1UP Arcade version and that also has milipede and missile command! (but then I don't already have a basement arcade so that's just me. :P)

Hey John!! Just discovered your channel last night. Love it!! You would Love The Recbar in Jeffersontown (J-town) Louisville, Ky!! It's a bar/restaurant/arcade/pinball. It opened in April of 2016. I haven't been there yet but I hear its great! It's said they have the 4th largest pinball bar collection in the country! Keep havin' fun!! Much Love from the Bluegrass State!!

It's pretty sweet.

Just picked this up for the nostalgia of it. Got mine for $100 shipped. Hopefully we see a Zaxxon, Donkey Kong and a Star Wars game would be awesome!

I think that centipede is so cool. I hope they make different games as well and I hope they drop the price a little bit.

I love Centipede!

Safety first. Got a kick out of seat belt on game!!

Wow... this would be sooo awesome to have on my desk at the office to have some fun beating highscore with at coffe breaks and during lunchtime... It costs way to much though since the pricing on that kind of stuff always goes up $100 in Sweden... if it was like $75 or something I would buy one instantly.

My buddy and I stopped into the Hanger when we passed through Amherst yesterday(16th) on our way home from picking up a wide body Mario Cabinet XD

Great vid, i just ordered one, only 5,000 made

John? Where you disapear? What about the bronco? The show must go on

So the little trackball doesn't let you just spin it and let go to make it move?

John, isn't it time to do a Galaga restoration after the MK2 is done?

You should autograph and give away the popcorn machine.

Made the bezel after the cabaret not the full size if you noticed

John that popcorn machine has got to go!!!

Hope they get the Namco licence. Would love a Galaga or Mrs. Pac-man one!

This mini arcade is cool and i can really appreciate the detail and all but for 160 bucks it's definitely a pass for me. Thanks for the video john and keep up the great work.

I'm building a 1/4 scale Dig Dug multicade. It won't be exact, as I can't find lighted, Atari cone start buttons; but it will be close. I'll send John pics when I'm done.

How do you figure it's only emulation using the original ROMs instead of a miniaturized version of the circuitry that holds the original code (an ASIC or SoC, maybe)?

John, I am sure you need glasses... look at your CABARET bezel and Replicade bezel ?? Plus I can see the shots very clearly, even if the camera was not fully focus ....

I was thinking the same thing. When he was at the cabaret I was like, isn't that identical almost to the way the mini looks? So they must have compromised to use the larger LCD screen by blending it with the cabaret.

Did anyone else notice the bezel matches the cabaret cabinet?

Centipede is so addicting.

Nice! Hopefully arcade1up will get you their arcade for that review soon also.

That would have been epic if they were 1/6 scale quarters from 1981! Still though, what a great attention to detail!

The quarters need to be lined up on the bezel!

They should make a Atari Thunder Jaws portable. I was playing it in MAME today. Bring back Atari before they are lost. Game was one of Atari's last in 1990. Love to see one in John's arcade. Seems rare, don't hear of it much.

hi, do you know where i could find an empty arcade cabinet without any sort of hardware inside? im currently working on a project to make a custom arcade machine with a raspberry pi and mame.

Hey everyone, thanks for all your comments! To celebrate launch week, all orders are 10% off for launch at newwavetoys.com

As someone who already owns an upright centipede (that I'm unfortunately having to move into a new cabinet, but that's what you get when you buy a water damaged cab for under $300) I cant justify buying this, but maybe Ill instead spend the money getting a new crt so my original doesn't have to use the lcd I have in it now (because the old crt was burnt in too horribly, but once again, that's what you get when you buy a water damaged cab that's had over 130,000 plays on it).

Back in 1982 those cheap plastic coleco tabletop games where $50-$60. Not many kids had them. There was a full size Atari centipede at the thrift store a few years ago. It was in very good condition, they were asking $400. Somebody likely snagged it a few days later on half price day.

I could hear Dragon's Lair beckoning.

Oops, the original and the small version wouldn't be 1:1; they'd be some kind of scale other than that, if they are to scale (like if everything matches that ratio).

Why don't you still have your old mini-DKJ then?

Entered hope it's open to the UK.

@Johnsarcade

We are in the BASEMENT!

Pretty sweet! Steep price. I would think maybe $120 or so...

Unlike the Arcade1Up, this has a light up marquee and was made with precision and quality in mind. The Arcade1Up isn't even 4 feet tall and I think is made of particle board. Good luck playing that without the extra $50 booster. Which would you rather have? A cheaply made 3/4 scale cabinet? Or a precise, quality made 1/6 cabinet? As someone who actually grew up playing the original Centipede in the arcade, I'm truly excited about this Replicade one. It really is a childhood dream come true. $160 is a little high but I was able to get one with 15% off when I ordered a week ago. I'm really sick of the cheap retro knockoffs and crazy happy about this replica.

do you know if you can get a USB adaptor and plug a controller or mouse in and operating the trackball and buttons would have been a good idea. it's a bit awkward to play like it is long used I can imagine

Cool ill wait for the price to go down or if it hackable for other games :)

I really like these but I just can't spend that much for one. I could probably find a full size cab for that. Non working of course.

@Johnsarcade

You could for sure if you look enough. :)

Oops, the little Centipede isn't a "fake" one as compared to the big, "real" one. They're both real because they both work. Just because something's smaller than the original (such as your cabaret or a cocktail) doesn't mean it's "not real."

That thing is pretty damn cool but wow what a steep price.

Hope they make the Atari Star Wars 👍

When I first saw you open the box the price point I had in my head was $99. I was a little floored when you said $160. When an Arcade1up is $299 I would absolutely pass by this and pay the higher price for the Arcade1up. But good video as always

Glad I got it on Kickstarter because I got 2 (one for my dad) for 200 which, yeah, 100 seems the right price. I'm curious to see what they do after Tempest (which I didn't back because without a vector monitor that game loses a lot of it's charm)...

*YOU WIN PERFECT*

Stashbox is that where you hide your weed?

Of course that trackball feels like a trackball and the game felt like Centipede; that's because it _is_ a trackball and it _is_ Centipede.

3:54 OMG,THEY HAVE THE SIMPSONS ARCADE GAME!!! I MUST GO!!!

How about adding Marble Madness to that machine?

Maybe you put the quarters on the Marquee letting everybody know you have next game.

I do like it, but to me it's only worth about 1/3-1/4 of that price ($160). My Nintendo 3DS, with all its still-relatively-new technology (less than a decade old) was the $160.

The bezel matches the cabaret so that is legit 1.1

If it was cheaper id grab it, more like $50 or $60 max I'd buy it. I have my $20 centipede from walmart and I'm just fine with it. Arcade Collector here with 9 Arcade machines. Not much but enough. How many of these are they coming out with?
