    Preordered this arcade machine and it came today. Setup took about 2.5 hours because this thing is substantial and the craftsmanship is outstanding. It's a very sturdy game cabinet when assembly is complete despite the smaller footprint. It fired right up when I plugged it in and turned it on and everything works perfectly. Its a little more challenging than I remember it but I'm a bit rusty and the screen and guns are a little smaller than the regular-sized arcade versions so it will take a little adjustment period. But after two three-trek hunts, I started getting back to my old skill level. You can adjust the difficulty level and calibrate the guns so you and your friends won't get too frustrated. Once it gets too easy, ratchet up the difficulty level a notch and make things competitive again. Looking forward to lots of fun with family and friends hunting Big Bucks.

    This is not a good game and broke in a month! Keeps saying loading...but doesn't load. Accuracy was not good either with the guns. Customer service with the company has been terrible and they require you to take the broken part and ship it back to be repaired instead of sending you the part you need. Very disappointed and this will be the last Arcade1up purchase I ever make.

    One of the few light gun cabs that arcade1up offers. I typically wait for these to go on sale, but the first buck hunter sold out before it ever went on sale, so i pulled the trigger on this as soon as it came out. Not much to say if you are a fan of the arcade game, but note that the guns are a bit smaller than arcade versions and the smaller screen take some time getting used to. Overall, happy to add it to my collection

    Love this game! Just like I remembered it from time past. The screen is bit smaller than I’d hoped it to be, but it doesn’t change my opinion. It can also take a few plays to get the gun calibrated. It’s hard to stop once you start playing.

    Guns are accurate, though i wish the pump was less flimsy. There are so many treks to choose from, you can definitely sink a lot of time into maxxing out the scores on every hunt!

    Screen is a little small which I think you can change as there is an hdmi output inside the machine. Besides that great game.

    Bought it for 3 weeks and the unit stop working and stuck on loading screen forever. Best Buy only offer 14 days return on this unit. Luckily, I had plus membership so it was covered for 60 days. so be very careful when buying this type of products.
