Killer Instinct Pro Series:

Arcade1Up is thrilled to introduce the PRO SERIES, providing hardcore retrogamers the amped-up home arcade machines they’ve demanded!

Widely recognized as the premier name in home arcade gaming, Arcade1Up is renowned for producing authentic arcade experiences for family game rooms and man caves. Arcade1Up game cabinets play great, look great, and are instant conversation pieces.

Now, Arcade1Up kicks-up that experience to a pro level. Getting the killer PRO SERIES treatment here is of course, Killer Instinct™.

For many retrogamer enthusiasts, Killer Instinct™ is a definitive title of the mid ‘90s. Fans loved it, critics loved it. Its gameplay, soundtrack, and 3D-rendered graphics were all revered.

And wow, do the Arcade1Up PRO SERIES specs make Killer Instinct™ a jaw-dropping addition to your home.

With its increased size over standard Arcade1Up game machines, the PRO SERIES features a new 19” LCD screen that provides a 5:4 arcade aspect ratio​, with stunning vibrancy, contrast​, and viewing angles​. Upgraded speakers​ and speaker grills accentuate every strike executed.

For retrogaming “control freaks,” the PRO SERIES features upgraded joysticks and more generous spacing between components that improves precision​.

And yeah, Arcade1Up’s already gorgeous game machines get next-level aesthetics with the PRO SERIES. Eye-popping faux chrome trim runs around the cabinet edges, and a cosmetic 3D molded coin door​ with light-up coin slots for 1-2 player start really drives that nostalgia home. And of course, an upgraded light-up marquee is a fighting game beacon clear across the room.

Midway Legacy Arcade:

FINISH HIM! In celebration of three brutal decades of MORTAL KOMBAT, Arcade1Up introduces for the first time ever LIVE online play in a Midway home arcade machine. Yes, it’s the Midway Legacy Mortal Kombat 30th Anniversary Edition!

Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the ‘80s and ‘90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.

Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage™ was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat™, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. With its over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat™ became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catchphrases.

Bringing you authentic (and yes, way nostalgic!) arcade experiences in an easily assembled design, Arcade1Up game machines are must-haves for your family game room, fan cave, or a welcome distraction in the office. They play great, look great, and are instant conversation pieces.

From Scorpion to Sub-Zero to Jax to Mileena, it’s time to perfect those finishing moves (and friendships…and babalities…) against opponents in-person right next to you OR remotely from their own Legacy game machine!

This home arcade packs a SUPERB punch, with a line up of 14 games, in a gorgeous cabinet that includes a matching riser and light-up marquee.

Yes…FOURTEEN titles! Mortal Kombat™, Mortal Kombat II™, Mortal Kombat 3™, Ultimate MK 3™, Toobin™ , Rampage™, Joust™, Wizard Of Woz™, Gauntlet™, Rootbeer Tapper™, Defender™, Bubbles™ , Paperboy™, and Klax™. ALL included.
