    I got it on sale Black Friday 2022 and it just broke today. I played it maybe 30 times with my kids and now the PCB board is fried. It was fun while it lasted, but I paid $300 and it's already broken just over a year later and out of warranty. The original price was $699, which is ridiculous for the quality you get. I feel bad for anyone who paid full price for this, because it's just not worth it. In hindsight, I should not have even paid $300 for it.

    Larger than most Arcade 1Ups. Guns are accurate but too light weight. I had to update the speakers with PC ones with a subwoofer. The stock ones max volume was weak. I pained the guns black and modified the cab to hide the cords. Added a fake coin door and added a better marquee… but for the reduced price I paid of 599 $ is a great show piece and great game play.

    Was a little more difficult to put together than some of the other machines, but is a must have. More expensive than the others but the best machine i have. Two player mode is the best.

    I ordered this T2 arcade1up cabinet a few days before Christmas 2022. Cabinet went together just fine like my previous 5 cabinets before this one. Afterwards I went to power it one but nothing no power it wouldn't come on! I switched the power cord with my Street Fighter 2 cabinet and it worked! I then called Best Buy was on hold several times talked to 4 different people 51 minutes total and no one helped me with my issue. Sadly this will be last arcade1up cabinet.

    I guess I should have figured there was must have been a reason I bought it for under 300. It is a fine game, but online updates will not be allowed from here out. Which is needed to play online. When they get it figured out then update will work. Highly disappoint Arcade UP - send out an update so we can play online!

    The Terminator 2 Arcade1Up Cabinet is an absolute blast to play. As a recreation of the original arcade video game, it hits all the right notes and provides an unparalleled entertainment experience. One of the standout features of this cabinet is the level of detail that has gone into its design. From the artwork to the sound effects, everything has been carefully crafted to recreate the atmosphere of the original game. It's clear that a lot of love and attention has gone into this product. The guns, while not the highest quality, are perfectly serviceable and get the job done. They're a little bit cheap, but they don't detract from the overall experience. If anything, they add to the charm of the cabinet and make it feel like an authentic arcade experience. What really sets this cabinet apart, however, is its entertainment value. It's the main machine that everyone wants to play when they come over. It's just so much fun and stands out above the rest of the games in my collection. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, the Terminator 2 Arcade1Up Cabinet provides hours of entertainment. Overall, I would highly recommend this cabinet to anyone looking for an authentic arcade experience at home. While the guns may be a little cheap and the price tag may be a bit steep, the entertainment value is absolutely fantastic. This is a great recreation of the original game, and it's a must-have for any fan of the Terminator franchise or classic arcade games in general.

    Just like the original arcade game, except it is a little smaller, and I am saving my quarters. This game has all of the original levels, I am assuming, but I do know that I have seen levels I could not afford to continue feeding quarters into the machine to get to. The only drawback in this A1U only has 1 game on it, so do not buy it at full price. It was worth the price when it was on sale at almost 50% at Christmas. The game is very easy to assemble. The light guns work great but you must follow the advice on the screen. Do not place the barrels next to the screen thinking it will improve your shot, it won,t, it only make it worse. Great game on sale.

    T2 Judgement Day

    This is a great arcade cabinet. The artwork looks great. Make sure that you calibrate the light guns and they will work well. When calibrated, the guns are accurate and light enough that your arm does not get tired even when playing for a long period of time. The screen appears like it would be too small for 2 players to play this at the same time but that is not the case. Even though this cabinet is about the same width as most Arcade 1up cabinets, it is wide enough for 2 players to comfortably play at the same time. The cords for the light guns look a bit sloppy hanging from the cabinet when it is not in use but there are ways to modify the cabinet so the cords are inside the cabinet when it is not in use. Just do a web search for T2 Arcade 1up mods and there are videos demonstrating how to do this. I have 3 other Arcade 1up cabinets and the T2 cabinet has the worst sound quality of the group. The sound quality is okay but not as clean as the other cabinets. Because this cabinet is wifi equipped, Arcade 1up can (and has) make updates available. Hopefully they will refine the software further in a future update to improve the sound quality. Most Arcade 1up cabinets have multiple games on them but this only has the Terminator 2 arcade game. Thankfully it's a great game that is fun to play solo or with a 2nd player. Overall I recommend this cabinet even though it has some limitations.
