I'm looking for an honest opinion on these before I buy please. I have their Asteroids Replicade and I’m very happy with it. Yes the buttons are small, but I can actually play it and it looks/plays/sounds like the coin-op. Missile Command uses their latest screen and it seems to have received mixed results from some YouTubers. To their credit, they address it in the Missile Command FAQ. I can only recommend Asteroids as this is the only Replicade that I have purchased. I have to admit that I’m considering Missile Command at the $99 price.

RickR Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 Note that it is slightly less at Amazon (for me) because shipping is free. I'm still thinking about it 🙂 https://www.amazon.com/New-Wave-Toys-Missile-RepliCade/dp/B0BMS4TRPL/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1FL6TJRRX5TJX&keywords=missile%2Bcommand&qid=1700256832&sprefix=missile%2Bcommand%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-4&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.17d9e15d-4e43-4581-b373-0e5c1a776d5d&th=1 socrates63 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted November 17 Report Share Posted November 17 I've been staying away from all these mini cabs from various companies, but I really love what New Wave has done. Smell Dawg and RickR 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think I better stay away. I don't need another thing to collect! But it is very tempting. Justin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossBow Posted November 21 Report Share Posted November 21 I own three of New Wave's replicades and they are all excellent! The first one I bought was their Tempest. I bought it during PRGE 2018 I think it was or possibly 2019. I just remember how tricky it was to get it to fit into my luggage safely for the return trip home. I also own their Dragon's Lair and Space Ace cabinets. Both of those are excellent and even better since the HDMI outputs allow me to legally play the games in their arcade form with a nice controller (I used my PS4 controllers connected via USB to them), on the much bigger screen in the living room. I think the only other one they have released that I sort regret not getting was the Q*Bert. They even added a small solenoid knocker on it to simulate when Coily or Q*Bert fall off the playfield just like the arcade cabinet did. They recently had Ghosts n Goblins and a Ghouls n Ghosts cabinets that sold out pretty quickly, but I was never a huge fan of those games really.
