    Solid well built game. I added some LED mods already. Marquee and buttons are not lite. I replaced the marquee and buttons with LEDs.

    If you like retro gaming, in a smaller size, then you will love this. Dig Dug is one of my favorites. Great for a bar or counter top. Seems well made. I plan on getting another when they are on sale. I got this for $100. Can't beat it.

    I play this everyday. Sound is good and cabinet looks great. Swapped out arcade stick ball for bat stick. Way better control.

    I'm biased because I'm a huge Dig Dug fan, but I really think this is the best countercade offered by Arcade1Up. I was hoping Centipede would be equally good, but the trackball doesn't work well at all and it's the same with nearly every unit they made. This one plays as it should though. I love the side panel art as well. It's harder to see in some of the stock photos.

    Good not but great.

    The screen is small 8" total I believe. The picture is really good. The sound is good but really loud even on the lowest setting. Now to the gameplay- Dig Dug plays great. The placement of the buttons is not adequate for playing Dig Dug II. Both buttons should be on the same side and having one on each side of the joystick makes it extremely awkward not to mention the fact that my left hand resting on that side ends up resetting the game since it's so close to the player select buttons. Good overall package just flawed by poor design choice.

    This thing is sweet, Dig Dug was the arcade game I’d played most as a kid so to have a machine like this is amazing. Wish there was a full size cabinet but hey this is more portable and cheaper.

    This looks really cool, and the games are emulated very well! Just wish it could take batteries, instead of being wall powered. At 100$, you can't go wrong.

    What's better than playing a retro arcade game? How about playing a retro arcade game in your own home! The Arcade1up machines are the prefect gift for someone who loves old school arcade games, but doesnt want to pay the prices for the original machines. I definitely recommend this game and the others you might be interested in!

    Had to return to store because it wouldn't power on. Ended up buying another power cord that customer service found, just so it could be gifted on time. Customer service was great. Just very inconvenient!

    This unit is great for playing Digdug in its orignial format. The buttons are close to the joystick but still has the feel.

    I purchased this product for my husband as a Father's Day gift. The price was reasonable but the knob broke in the second day he used it. That's why I only gave it two stars.
