For Christmas I’m finally fulfilling a 1.80m tall arcade dream from my youth for a world cheaper!

Your very own personal journey through time: Arcade1Up treats you to a true-to-original, 1.77m tall replica of the Time Crisis machine including light guns.

Update: The Time Crisis machine presented is already sold out, but there are other exciting arcades, some of which can be delivered by Christmas:

Original article: As a teenager in the 1990s, it was clear to me: The year 2025 is pure science fiction and I will drive to my high-end workplace in a flying car to do something futuristic. Of course, private gaming is only done holographically or via AR.

If someone had told me that instead my finger was hovering over an order button on a faithfully recreated 1995 slot machine – I would have looked very confused.

But it is like that. And now only one question remains: How do I explain this to my family?

Come on, give it a try, your people will love the slot machine too

Why not? An arcade machine like this looks really nice

Honey, I shrunk the video game – most partners would probably be fine with that. Now the trend towards mini consoles is apparently over The A1200the replica of the 1992 Amiga 1200, is no longer mini but just as big as the original.

This argument could also be used to justify a slot machine from the 1990s arcades, right? Admittedly, an afterburner machine with a movable seat and stuff is really difficult to accommodate.

But it might be helpful as an argument: Honey, be glad it’s just Time Crisis and not Afterburner. Or this VR mech machine, is it actually available anywhere? Question for a friend.

Click here, order, look forward to it!

One Christmas, two pistols – it’ll be fun!

Enough with the attempts at explanation, let’s get down to business: The technical advantages of the Arcade1Up machine. As already mentioned, the hardware sits in a replica of the original machine case from 1995.

Includes two plastic light guns for Player1 and Player2: After all, that’s how Time Crisis is played and not with a console controller like that. There is also a foot pedal that Time Crisis uses for the practical cover system.

The best way to bond with your kids is to shoot bad guys with plastic guns together. I tested it for you.

To increase the fun, there are other light gun games installed in the machine: In addition to Time Crisis, there are Point Blank, Steel Gunner and Steel Gunner 2.

Instead of a 1990s CRT screen, the 2025 machine uses a 17″ LCD and connects the leaderboards via WLAN. Progress also has something.

If the carrier shows up at the door with the package, you’d better have someone with you to tow it with you: The slot machine weighs an official 45 kilograms.

It’s that easy to get your own slot machines with Time Crisis

Do I see question marks in your eyes? You don’t know Time Crisis?

Time Crisis is a lightgun action game by Namcowhich appeared in arcades in 1995 and later became popular on PlayStation. You play a special agent (mainly Richard Miller in the original) who shoots his way through short, film-like levels, rescues hostages and eliminates bosses.

This is Time Crisis 5, visually more opulent than the 1995 debut, but without light guns and foot pedals it’s just a tired imitation.

The big trademark is that Cover system with foot pedal: As long as you operate the pedal, you get out of cover and can shoot; If you let go, you duck away again. There is also one Countdown per sectionwhich puts pressure on you to hit quickly and precisely. The game is an arcade classic thanks to its cinematic presentation, which greatly influenced the lightgun genre with this cover mechanism.

And since Die Hard is, after all, a Christmas film, it would only make sense to establish Time Crisis as an X-Mas game. Why Christmas? Well, because you unpack this gigantic package, set up the machine and notice with shining eyes: THIS is what Christmas must feel like.
