Arcade1Up Ms Pac Man 40th Anniversary Head-2-Head Home Arcade Review November 1, 2022
Posted by Maniac in Reviews, Site Videos.add a comment
This one is a user request we are more than happy to fulfill! Ms Pac-Man has always been my favorite arcade game in the Pac-Man franchise and to be honest, my favorite memories playing it were in its cocktail table form factor that Arcade1Up classified as a Head-2-Head version. I was lucky enough to score a deal on one of these at a warehouse sale Arcade1Up hosted for the Red Cross, but what do I think of it? Watch and find out!
Oh and the best part is this video review is going to be in glorious 4K HDR!
Mind of Maniac – iiRcade Gold Sells Out, Will More Be Coming? October 29, 2022
Posted by Maniac in Editorials, Game News, Mind of Maniac, Site Videos.add a comment
I think we’re breaking news on this one. For arcade-enthusiast gamers who don’t have large homes (or ones who do which have already filled up their space with existing home arcade cabinets) a multicade system, which can host multiple games on one cabinet, is a great deal. I’ve been keeping my eyes on the iiRcade platform for about half a year, as it offers multiple preloaded games in memory, and offer the feature to buy more games online.
Unfortunately, even though iiRcade’s website lists the new Gold Edition of their multicade arcade console as still in preorder, they have been shipping for some time. I’m fact, iiRcade recently announced light gun support is coming to the system. Since that announcement was made, iiRcade Gold Editions have listed on their website as sold out. iiRcade has made no official mention of this, and no arcade enthusiast channel I’ve seen online has mentioned this as well.
I’ve really been interested in iiRcade for some time and hope to be able to get the Dragon’s Lair Gold Edition in the future. So here’s my thoughts about the iiRcade, and my questions about the future of the platform.

Neo-Geo MVSX Unboxing October 4, 2022

We’ve been hard at work replicating a classic 90s arcade experience here at GameXcess.net, and you can’t replicate a 90s arcade without the most iconic arcade cabinet of the time, the Neo-Geo.
Neo-Geo was an arcade and home console platform developed by SNK. By modern standards the Neo-Geo was an arcade console. At arcades, multi-game cabinets were common which offered players the chance to cycle through anywhere from two to six games at any time. Arcade owners who offered Neo-Geo machines could find themselves with the opportunity to easily swap new games without having to replace the entire cabinet. In total, one-hundred forty-three games were offered throughout the platform’s lifespan.
Now, UNICO is offering a bartop-sized Neo-Geo arcade machine preloaded with fifty classic games including Metal Slug, Fatal Fury and Shock Troopers. How does it look?
We filmed this in 4K HDR but due to some issues we encountered while editing we decided to release the edited video in 1080p. Hope you all enjoyed.

Creating a Bawls Fridge for My Home Arcade – Part 3 September 8, 2022

As gamers, we have never been shy about expressing our love for the high-caffeinated soda Bawls. Now, as we start the next phase of assembling our own basement arcade den, we need to finish our Bawls fridge. We are back with the third and likely final part of our work into creating a dedicated fridge for our in-progress home arcade. Let’s see just how many bottles of Bawls we’ll be able to fit in this thing!
Maniac’s Kitchen – Fastest Way to Cool Soda September 3, 2022
Posted by Maniac in Maniac’s Kitchen, Site Videos.add a comment
Happy Labor Day weekend! As we all get some extra time to spend gaming with friends, it’s always a good idea to keep your beverages cold. Thankfully, the Mythbusters figured out the fastest way to cool our beverages over a decade ago. They discovered an insulated container filled with ice, water and table salt would cool an aluminum can in about five minutes.
Five minutes to cool a can doesn’t sound so bad. However, we’re gamers, and we drink Bawls, which come in 10oz glass bottles. Let’s see if we can chill our bottles just as well!

Maniac is still in the process of assembling a retro gaming bar space to film his future videos. But as a fan of gaming’s most iconic beverage, the high-caffeinated soda Bawls, he’s been disappointed by the fact he can’t find a commercial Bawls fridge or vending machine for his bar space.
So, if it doesn’t exist, why don’t we make one? Here’s part two, where we secure a fridge and start to set it up for the bar!
