Arcade1Up - The Star Wars Home Arcade Game Machine with Riser - Star Wars Blue

Been wanting this for a LONG time. Finally was able to get it for a great price. Worth the wait. When I went to BB to pick it up I was a little taken aback by how damaged the box was. One of the corners was even exposed to the inside packaging. Fortunately nothing inside was damaged. But the product was still not without its flaws. There are random areas of rough finishing. The plastic protector over the flight yoke platform was a nice idea but the tape they secured it with appears to have caused a chemical reaction and left some raised wrinkle marks as the tape wasn’t completely flat when it was laid down. All of the acrylic surfaces such as the monitor were protected with the standard film but once it came time to peel it off there were more areas where I noticed blemishes. So that was kind of a letdown as I wanted it to be perfect. But they aren’t horrible - they don’t get in the way of enjoying the games. Overall it’s a really nice replica. A whole lot nicer quality than if you tried buying an original machine of course. And MUCH cheaper taking up less space in your home. If you want to do a quick and painless mod I would suggest replacing the original 3 inch speakers with some decent 4 inch car speakers before you put the cabinet together. I was able to connect them to the factory cable connection quite easily and it sounds awesome. You’ll thank me for it.

I know everyone may have their favorite cabinet based on what they played growing up but the reason why I love this Star Wars one is because you can't emulate this experience anywhere except with the original arcade cabinet. The flight yoke is accurate and feels fantastic and the quality of emulation is top notch. The system options cover just about anything you would want to modify for these games and the cabinet itself looks amazing with the light up marquee. Most of all it's just heart pounding fun, especially the original Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back. It's not cheap but that's because they listened to the consumers, upgraded the quality control, and ultimately gave the people everything they asked for. I highly recommend it.

This thing is perfect. It has the exact feel of the original arcade Version. When you open it you may think it looks cheaply made, but as you assemble it becomes clear that this this is really high quality. And when you turn it on? Mind blowing!

It was delivered on time and easy to put together. The product quality is great. Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back are great games and play as I remember. Return of the Jedi game is okay.

Back in the 80’s when there was an arcade on every corner and in every pizza joint I went through a ton of quarters always thinking about how cool would it be to have a room at home that was an arcade. My Dad turned our basement into an excellent game room, but the closest we got to making it an arcade was an old style pin ball machine. Paying 4 grand (low end) just didn’t make sense for one game. So we hooked up an Atari or the latest home system to a huge 27 inch screen was the best we could do. Enter these Arcade 1up home arcade machines. I liked the look of the first wave a lot, but figured I would get bored playing just pac man. But wave two have been improved in many ways with lit Marques and unique machines like this Star Wars unit. Yes it’s only 3 games and the possibility of getting bored is still there, but with this unique controller and one of the most beloved trilogy’s in movie history was worth the gamble. After setting it up with the awesome artwork and now custom risers to make these a bit closer to the height of machines in the arcade. Paying 400 versus 4,000 is obviously the best part. Is you remember sitting inside and playing this unit that’s on the way in the next wave. But this feels like the arcade and is likely to pay for itself since your not plunking quarters into it. Also, other units with more typical controllers can be modified to play 100,s of games. I built one of these a couple years ago and it’s great. But to have these smaller units that you can pick up and move around are flat out made for arcade lovers. If your a COD lover not sure you’re going to get excited about playing Ms PAC Man, but I’m planning on adding 2 or 3 more to go along with my Mame version. So glad I started with this Star Wars. I hope to get their NBA jam next and then as they continue to up the quality and lower the price I’m going back in time. If you’re the nostalgic type these are perfect. Otherwise hold on for the PS5 and Xbox x, and my favorite Switch (2)!

Grew up with the Star Wars game , I would walk down the street to play this all the time . It’s great to be able to walk into the room and flip it on and go. The actual console outside graphics/wrap and the look are amazing . Game play superb . Yoke totally on point ! Only bad part was some of the pieces didn’t line up very easy but with that being said it was still very simple to put together . If your on the fence about it - just do it. You won’t regret it .

This is an amazing LITTLE arcade machine. I emphasize little because it’s very small, thankfully it comes with the riser. It’s fairly simple to put together and because of the materials and the size it’s relatively light and easy to move around if you are putting a game room together and aren’t sure where you want it yet. (Like me) The games themselves play just like I remember them but having the flight yoke is what helps bring back the nostalgia. You can play it on an emulator but without the yoke it’s just not the same. The yoke feels nice and responsive, The original Star Wars is amazing as I remember it, I never had a chance to play Empire in the arcade as a kid but I played a ton of Return of the Jedi in the arcade as a kid. Spent tons of quarters on that machine. It’s just as awesome and difficult as I remember. Great times. I’m excited to see they’ve made a sit down model now using the riser as a bench, that’s a nice touch. Arcade1up seems to have a great team of people listening to what people want and being able to make adjustments to their machines on the fly. I prefer the stand up model since it fits better in my game room but having the option to buy the sit down version is huge. Overall, I highly recommend this cabinet if you have the money. If it was a childhood favorite you won’t regret it. Lots of great memories on this machine, now my kids can enjoy it too.

I own the Midway Arcade1 unit and was impressed with its quality. This Star Wars unit, however, takes it to a whole new level with the two-handed flight controller and the light-up marque. The simulated vector graphics is awesome, and the new speaker controls are much better. For the Jedi game I recommend turning off the interlace effect. My package arrived from UPS. The box was scraped up a bit but there was no damage to the interior. It took about an hour to setup. Having an additional pair of hands helps but absolutely necessary. J
