    If you're looking for a way to relive the glory days of arcade gaming, the Arcade1Up Class of 81' Deluxe Arcade Game is a great option. With its all-in-one riserless design, this cabinet packs a punch without taking up too much space in your home. And let's be real, who wants to deal with the hassle of a bulky, complicated setup anyway? But what really sets this arcade game apart is its nostalgic feel. It's like you're transported back to the 80s, complete with classic games like Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug. Plus, the design of the cabinet itself is sleek and stylish, so it won't stick out like a sore thumb in your living room. Overall, if you're in the market for a fun and convenient way to relive your arcade gaming days, the Arcade1Up Class of 81' Deluxe Arcade Game is definitely worth considering. Just be prepared to lose track of time as you get lost in the games!

    Awesome addition to our family’s game room. The assembly was easy after first watching a video on YouTube. Trust me, this helps. My kids play this all the time and I fond it so worth the money.

    We love this machine! It's everything we hoped it would be. It looks super vintage and the sound is awesome. If you love games from the 80's and that arcade vibe then this won't disappoint.

    Very good product the kids play it all the time. Was easy to assemble but does take a little while. I would start by laying out the pieces and place them in groups. Instructions are strait forward. I do plan on buying more.

    Arcade 1up does a great job with their full size arcade machines. Theynare sturdy, easy to assemble, good height and very accurate gameplay with solid controls and graphics. I want them to keep making more of these machines with different games

    1st day with it. Love it so far. Easier to assemble than my previous cabs. Be sure to drop your marquee and sound cords down thru the opening before screwing the top together. Instructions fail to mention this step. Riserless design is cool. It comes with color matching (mostly) screwhole covers. Joystick feels good. If you're on the fence get it.

    We love it! We have enjoyed playing it so much. It brings back so many good memories for me (46) and my son (9) has really enjoyed learning some of the games I grew up playing. Mt husband and I regularly compete to see who is at the top of the leaderboard. We may only play a few of the games (Pac Man, Dig Dug and Galaga primarily) but it was so worth it. It doesn’t take up much room and it was a darn sight less expensive than a traditional arcade that costs in the thousands. We are extremely happy. My husband did experience the usual frustrations putting it together, but was able to do so.
