The company recreates classic arcade machines from yesteryear sized perfectly for an average home at reasonably affordable prices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably seen a few Arcade1Up\u2019s cabinets in Wal-Mart and other stores, like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cabinet,\u00a0but the T2: Judgment Day machine kicks things up a notch. It\u2019s a little bigger than most and delivers the same graphics of Arnold (T-800) rocking his glasses and wielding a shotgun, iconic light guns with force feedback, and action-packed gun battles as you fight to save the human resistance.<\/p>\n<p>We love Arcade1Up cabinets here at ReviewGeek, and when I saw they finally made one of <em>Terminator 2: Judgment Day<\/em> to the request of fans everywhere, I jumped at the chance to throw one in my office. So, are Arcade1Up cabinets hard to build, and does it deliver the nostalgia I crave? Spoiler: you\u2019ll want one of these!<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quick_Assembly_Required\"><\/span>Quick Assembly Required<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<lite-youtube videoid=\"saD0hPtTIs0\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/saD0hPtTIs0\/hqdefault.jpg');\">\n<button type=\"button\" class=\"lty-playbtn\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"lyt-visually-hidden\">Play Video<\/span><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/lite-youtube>\n<p>Like most machines from Arcade1Up, you\u2019ll need to assemble it before jumping into battle. However, as you\u2019ll see from my timelapse video above, the entire process is relatively simple, and typically all you\u2019ll need is a Phillips (+) screwdriver. Well, and maybe a third hand.<\/p>\n<p>This is the first Arcade1Up machine I\u2019ve put together, and it took a little over an hour and a half, but I did take a few breaks and took my time to get it just right. Don\u2019t let that worry you, though, as the process is exceptionally straightforward. You could quickly assemble one of these arcade cabinets in under 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115671 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5368a219.jpg\" alt=\"Terminator 2: Judgment day gameplay headshot\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Headshot! <span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Imagine buying a new desk, bed set, or IKEA furniture, then putting it together. If you can handle a screwdriver, you\u2019ll be able to build one of these arcades. Everything is pre-cut, drilled, labeled, and ready to go. And while the instructions could be a bit clearer, it\u2019s not complicated. Arcade1Up nicely wraps every piece in shrink wrap, ensuring that all the graphics are scratch-free and good as new.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the instructions and connect the supports to the sides using the wooden dowel pins, connect and screw on the other side, attach the base, display, and any controls, add the back, and you\u2019re done. The wires all go in a specific place, so there\u2019s no confusion about what goes where.<\/p>\n<p>Screw every bolt nice and snug, and that\u2019s it. We don\u2019t recommend using an electric drill, nor does Arcade1Up, but I did cheat and used mine on the riser stand at the end.<\/p>\n<p>As our Editor in Chief Josh Hendricks said in his review of the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/34884\/arcade1ups-burger-time-is-a-beautiful-collectors-item-for-arcade-fans\/\">Arcade1Up\u00a0<em>BurgerTime<\/em>\u00a0machine, \u201cIf you can build a TV stand or dresser from IKEA, then you can build an Arcade1UP machine.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nearly_Perfect_Replica\"><\/span>Nearly Perfect Replica<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-115675\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/0715f8ed.jpg\" alt=\"Arcade1Up Terminator 2 machine full view\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While a full-size original T2 arcade cabinet is a little bigger and wider, almost every other aspect of the <em>Terminator 2: Judgment Day<\/em> arcade cabinet is nearly identical.

the guns. First, on the original T2 arcade, the firearms are fixed to the machine, look more realistic, and are black. With Arcade1Up, they\u2019re blue and red (like the old Area 51 arcade game we played as kids) and not big black light guns that move on a swivel.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the guns connect via a cable, which is necessary to get power, vibration feedback, and receive the signal. However, these are long, almost too long, and make it look messy sitting in the corner of a room. I prefer stretchy curly cables, but that\u2019s just a nitpick.<\/p>\n<p>That said, you\u2019ll want to have a little space to stand back during two-player to get the perfect stance for headshots.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cabinet_Dimensions\"><\/span>Cabinet Dimensions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115667 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/a466b890.jpg\" alt=\"Terminator 2: Judgment day arcade game\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As far as dimensions go, it\u2019s perfectly sized to fit in your room.

And while I\u2019d love a bigger screen like the original, it was more than enough to deliver an enjoyable experience.

During game production, the producers laughed at how challenging the game was. They were proud that people could die after fighting for only a few seconds. Obviously, old arcade games were designed to drain your cup of quarters, and they succeeded.<\/p>\n<p>Staying true to the original game and film, Arcade1Up\u2019s cabinet will let one or two players take the iconic roles of T-800 cyborgs and fight to protect John and Sarah Connor to save the human resistance. Eventually, you\u2019ll take on Robert Patrick, the shape-shifting T1000 from the original film.<\/p>\n<p>Like the original arcade cabinets, sometimes the aim gets finicky and glitches out, but Arcade1Up added a mode for gun calibration. Once I did that, I had far fewer issues and could destroy anything in sight.<\/p>\n<p>The gameplay is exactly like the original, as expected, and is absolutely a blast. I spent over an hour playing it at a high volume on the first day. Eventually, my significant other begged me to turn it down. The speakers are loud and crisp, letting you hear each explosion, and the iconic \u201cI\u2019ll be back\u201d saying will give you instant nostalgia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"moka_gallery_wrap_outer\"

You will die a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Being able to hit \u2018Continue game\u201d repeatedly without feeding the machine more money is downright amazing, and you can also change or limit that setting.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wi-Fi_For_Leaderboards_Updates\"><\/span>Wi-Fi For Leaderboards &amp; Updates<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115672 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/71be65d6.jpg\" alt=\"Terminator 2 arcade live button for leaderboard\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Upon bootup, you\u2019ll see a screen that features four choices: play the game, watch the documentary, view the credits, and alter the game\u2019s settings. Under settings, you can quickly connect to Wi-Fi, make an account, and join the leaderboards. This also allows the machine to get updates, but we doubt it\u2019ll be getting any more, aside from the first update.<\/p>\n<p>Honestly, the leaderboards are mostly pointless. You\u2019ll choose a leaderboard and try to get on it, but at any point, no matter what, it only shows the top 19 players in the world. And again, you can adjust your energy and bomb count, so anyone that plays enough can get a high score.<\/p>\n<p>It does, however, scroll over and show your score compared to others. I like this, as it\u2019ll show where you stand and remind you of a top score if you\u2019re the type that replays a level repeatedly until they get a higher standing.<\/p>\n<p>However, you\u2019ll still need a good aim to reach the top. That\u2019s because the game score is just like the original, and ranks your accuracy, enemies defeated, special targets (like helicopters) destroyed, power-ups, and you\u2019ll lose points for killing civilians. There are many ways to get a low score, even with the settings cranked to easy mode.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%9CMaking_of%E2%80%9D_Video_is_Neat_But_Frustrating\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">\u201cMaking of\u201d Video is Neat, But Frustrating<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115668 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5bb4318b.jpg\" alt=\"Arcade1Up making of Terminator 2\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Fun fact, Midway created the <em>Terminator 2: Judgment Day<\/em> game while the movie was filming. Game producers went to the set, used actors like Arnold\u2019s stunt double to capture movements and scenes from the movie, and much more. Apparently, Robert Patrick was super excited to \u201cget digitized\u201d for the game. As a result, the arcade debuted just over three months after the movie topped the charts in theaters in July 1991, helping both become wildly successful.<\/p>\n<p>Arcade1Up includes an awesome mini-documentary video you can watch that explains the entire process. You\u2019ll get to see behind-the-scenes clips, the turret guns from the set they added to the game, and all sorts of trivia fans will appreciate.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115683 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/04\/5ed076f8.jpg\" alt=\"Arcade1Up making of option\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" data-credittext=\"Cory Gunther\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Don\u2019t shoot the wrong box. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Cory Gunther<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And while the \u201cMaking of\u201d video is super neat, I don\u2019t like the placement.
