I got my Dragon's Lair last week and love it. Has anyone tried to play with a USB joystick? I ordered one of their mini SFII sticks to go with it, but i'd really like a nice 4 way joystick.

FWIW, rumor has it that the last 1500 DL units will arrive around December 14th.
I got my DL today. Very impressive, I must say. The details they went to are amazing. The gameplay is really good. It would be awesome if they did Space Ace.
I am experiencing an issue though, when hooking it up to a TV via HDMI. One of my TVs doesn't display anything. The other TV displays but the screen keeps blanking out. When it's not blinking, this picture has thousands of white dots and words streak. The unit knows the plug is there because the screen on the unit goes off. Any one else experiencing anything like this?

Thought I'd update the thread. I reached out to NWT Support. They told me it sounded like the plug inside to the HDMI jack was loose and told me to open it up and check, if I was comfortable doing so. They even provided pics, though I didn't need them. While it didn't feel that loose, I unplugged it and re-plugged and I'm good to go! This thing really is kewl! I wasn't going to get it right now, as I lost my job to COVID. But when I found out the first batch sold out, I went ahead and did it. So glad I did!
For those who also pre-ordered the Asteroids Replicade .... an update ->

Any chance of Space Ace, since DL was such a success?For those who also pre-ordered the Asteroids Replicade .... an update ->

Chances are good if they get permissions ... but which cabinet should they do it in?
Since they have the mechanicals for the DL cabinet, I guess that would be the easiest choice.
I'd vote for the same one as DL. It's a better looking cabinet.Chances are good if they get permissions ... but which cabinet should they do it in?

So this is what John has been up to in the last little while ...
I kept hesitating to pull the trigger on the DL and so now I'm hoping I can get one of the last 1500. I had also looked at their previous machines and they'd been available on Amazon at the normal price for months and months. Has DL suddenly caused massive interest in the earlier releases? Even the usb change machine is sold out.
Seems the Asteroids (and second run of Dragon's Lair) units are delayed in port (waiting for customs release).
They did show the glow in the dark packaging today though ...

They mentioned in a post they would most likely do a dedicated space ace not the conversion cabinet, if it was made,, when asked they said didn't want to do the same cabinet, I think we will see space ace since 5000 DL's sold out in less than a month, all others took almost a year to sell out, there is only 1500 more coming but some have been promised to other retailers to sell, if buying from there site keeping back, hope they do all 3, next up is 1942 or 41 then supposedly missile commandChances are good if they get permissions ... but which cabinet should they do it in?

This little toy is fantastic!
Man, I wish they would do a TRON. Wouldn't that be cool?

Got my DRAGON'S LAIR RePlicade last week. Love it but......( always a but )
Maybe it's just the one I got ( but I doubt it ).
The game does NOT always give you the "flash" HINT of what move to make. Only on some of the scenes, not all of them.
Anyone else's do this ?
Thanks.

The game originally didn't have flashes for every scene.
Hmm...I know it's been years since I had the chance to play one. But I "thought" it did.
I remember seeing a cockpit version of Missile command mocked up. That would be one I'd want to pre-order for sure though how it would be playable is the question.
It would be cool to see one made, some have mentioned wanting to see spy hunter sitdown but most said would be too hard to play, then someone mentioned make it where it's completely together for looks and the back half remove to play, so maybe they will take that in consideration
Nope. Only certain rooms have those flashes. I've always thought that was a bit odd, but that's the game.
