Freestanding Retro Arcade Machine - Rampage or Street Fighter II $499

Described as standing 1.2 meters tall these units have the following description with them.

"Arcade one game system Rampage or Street Fighter II, 17' Colour Screen"
"3 games in 1: Street Fighter ll Champion Edition, Street Fighter ll The New Challengers and Street Fighter ll Turbo"
or
"4 games in 1: Rampage, Gauntlet, Joust and Defender"

Aldi will be selling these on the 31st of October

Cocoon 3D Printer $299

It's here again. A 3d printer from a supermarket.

"Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)"
"Build volume 120x135x100mm"
"Magnetic printing mat"

In the previous year, this has been met with good reviews. But that's probably because its a rebadged one of these.

Good local price and supported by Aldi's returns policy makes it a good product for entry-level 3d printing.

      • kasp on 23/10/2018 - 16:02

        Just looking at the controller units the guy is using will be a headache. Those cheap things never work as well as people make out and are annoying especially to get two going.

        Better to spend a bit more and get an IPAC or something.

      Thats not really the point. This is an officially licensed street fighter machine. If you just wanted a bog standard MAME cabinet, you could probably aim to pay less than this.

    I'm assuming these are the 1up cabinets, in which case you can find more info here - https://www.arcade1up.com/

    Pretty tempted, EBgames will have them for $700 and no one else has advertised that they will be getting them as yet.

      Yes. These are the Arcade1Up Rampage and Street Fighter II cabinets.

      As long as your handy in assembling these yourself. Otherwise follow one of the many assembly videos on YouTube.

      Wonder if they will sell the riser box. To raise the height of these to a more comefortable standing height. As they come out of the box, the 3/4 height is more suited to be played sitting down.

  • pw2002au on 23/10/2018 - 14:31

    They look pretty good - 3 player config - good games and reasonably priced. Wonder whats running underneath or if a jamma board / pandoras box could be substituted to add other games.

    • Lucifersfury82 on 23/10/2018 - 20:01

      Also hoping it’s running off a Jamma board; have boards for Snow Bros, Wonder Boy & Ghouls n’ Ghosts. I’d love to give them another bash.

      • MrGareth on 24/10/2018 - 00:54

        It's not a Jamma board so it's not a straight swap. There are teardown reviews on YouTube of these machines :)

      Child cave more like. It's 1.2m. Looked at a YouTube review, it's really only scaled to a 4 year old. And it's flat packed, so fibreboard. It even rocks back and forth as the kid plays it in the video. You can probably get a riser, but screen will still be small, and cabinet is definitely too narrow for two adults to play side-by-side.

      all stores have special buys… but sometimes only a couple of units. I'm looking for a camera so I record some fights over these next week.

    • pinchies on 29/10/2018 - 12:51

      I posted a short review on youtube yesterday. The printer build quality is great, and the print quality is excellent. It is easy to use, and the support is incredible considering the price. Only thing is it has major limitations - small print volume and no heated bed. Still a better way to start out than an Anet A8. There are other options that will be more flexible, but they will generally require a steeper learning curve, more troubleshooting, and less reliability. It is very hard to make a good quality product in this price range, so just be aware that the cocoon create model maker compromised on features, not on quality or support.

      • Jackson on 09/12/2018 - 09:49

        What is the purpose of the heated bed?

        • pinchies on 09/12/2018 - 14:56
          +1

          Part of the challenge with 3D printing, is sticking the piece to the print bed firmly, but making it easy to remove the print when it is done. Some materials only stick together when they are hot - ABS requires a bed temperature of 85C - 110C depending on the bed material - any other temperature and it wont' stick at all, or it will partially stick but then curl up during printing. This means that without a heated bed, you are limited in the range of materials you can print. For that printer, it's basically PLA-based materials only.

    Here's a review of the cabinets

    Bear in mind, they're not full-size, so you'll need to sit to play them (although they're probably the right size for kids). Also, only a mono speaker; and the joysticks/buttons aren't going to be the best.

    Still, for the price (and the fact that you don't have to do any real work to get it going) for a lot of people they're going to be worth it.

    • Cheaplikethebird on 23/10/2018 - 15:13

      They make risers for them which are sold separately, will probably be a little while before they become available in Australia though and that's if they do.

    • RocketSwitch on 23/10/2018 - 15:17

      Are you sure? Only shows two joy sticks? Just realised, one machine has 3, SF has 2.
