This game is awesome! We've already enjoyed hours of fun! For some it's like riding a bike! They are mastering the boards and levels! I'm a little rusty but it's still so much fun losing. It was a breeze to assemble according to my husband! Definitely a great purchase for your in-home game room!

Got this for my birthday! I've always wanted a cocktail table Pac-Man for the man cave! Additionally, for the nostalgia of when my girlfriend (now wife) were dating. We use to sit and play a cocktail table Pac-man for hours at the local arcade back in the day. It has been lots of fun having it! Almost daily, after dinner we'll have a pac-man tourney.
It is very good quality for the price. I love the pictures/art on the console, and the easy assembly. The cocktail table design is a bit small, not a full size cocktail table you see in the arcade. It might be a challenge for tall and bigger people. I wish a riser was available for it. The upside for me is, it doesn't take up a lot of space, making placement easier, light, and with two people you can easily move it from room to room.
The joysticks are decent, not as responsive. I get some excited/anxiety playing that results in me being too aggressive with the joystick, so I see myself having to replace them soon. I may order them now, as a preemptive measure. However, this is not a surprise considering the price. If you want high end true arcade quality you'll be spending at least $1,500 or more.
The screen/graphics are great. A few downsides worth mentioning. As far as I know you can't add additional games. In a perfect world, I would love to have Donkey Kong on it. We mostly play the traditional Pac-Man, Dig Dug, and Galaga. Personally, I am not a fan of the other Pac-Man variations on the console. Regardless, it meets my needs, great family fun, and budget friendly, The Pac-Man art/graphics really sell it. It looks great in my man cave. I can't wait to host our next party so my nieces and nephews can check it out. They'll love that it is not coin-operated and so will their parents. If it was, it would've been a great way for me to get a return on investment..hahaha

This does a an extremely cool cocktail game table.
Pac-Man, dig dug, Gallaga.... what’s not to like?
If you have food out chairs or low stools, they are about the perfect height for this.
The quality is fairly high, the controls responsive and the sound is arcade perfect.
We have had a ton of fun with this and receive many compliments on it.
It was easy to put together and I expect we will get years of fun out of this.
Oh, on a side note you CAN save your high scores. Hold down the player one button for five seconds as the instructions say to do.

Like anything electronic that requires assembly there is always the fear of it being bashed up whe it arrives, but this came on time and was very well packed to protect everything inside. Assembly was a breeze and clearly Arcade1Up are improving with every release in terms of quality and general improvements in design/finish. Great fun to play, very responsive, absolutely no downsides. Excellent value for the money! Highly recommended.

Love the old school design, kinda low. wish they made a stand for it. Awesome display, Easy to assemble. great addition to the rest of my Arcade1Up games. Older generation can now play their favorite game...Pac-Man. Would highly recommend addition to everyone game room. Invest in this will bring families together again. Kids vs Adults. Gotta love arcade games!!! Kinda Pricey but if it brings everyone together, it will end up being priceless. Spend a little to gain a lot.

Its just like the ones we played when we were young. Great price with the price match and the materials are an upgrade to the 1st gen games. Very simple to assemble did it myself in under 45 minutes. Only con is sometimes the stick isn't fast at the response.

Good Concept, but Poor Design

This would be a great cocktail table if only the manufacturer would have thought more about the height. My biggest complaint is that the height is NOT appropriate for use with the standard size Arcade 1Up stools. Even with those stools in the lower of the 2 positions, you will NOT be seated in an ergonomically friendly position. I found it actually uncomfortable to play the games in this table in this way, as I was bent over and reaching down, for the stools were too high. I brought this issue to the manufacturer, but they never really did anything about it, although it seemed that they started producing cocktail tables that are HIGHER than this one. I guess that was their way of solving the problem, although it did not help me. My solution was to purchase SHORTER stools from a different manufacturer, and they seem to provide some improvement.

Nice machine. Good quality. When we first used the machine one of the joysticks was having trouble going left. Contacted the manufacturer and they sent a new one immediately. It’s been great since then. Brings back a lot of memories.

This is the real deal. This is how I’d prefer all my arcades. This brings me back to the days of playing PacMan in PapaGinos while waiting for our food. Plus it has Galaga which may be my all time favorite. I could make 1 quarter last all day and still walk away without the game being over. I still easily get into the 6 digit score range. Once I’ve got my double ship, I’m almost invincible. You won’t regret this purchase if you loved the old school arcade when you were a kid. It’s even got DigDug and few other PacMan games. BUY THIS!!!

This really nice nostalgia replica is one slick reproduction, but I had one small issue to keep me, myself. from giving two perfect thumbs up. The controllers metal posts, that the red knobs screw on to, turn freely during gameplay. I do not understand why they are designed to do so. That issue causes mr pac-man to go contrary to the path I wanted. I used an epoxy weld to stop the spinning, and can now perfectly run the course.

Here’s what I couldn’t figure out until I had it. The size! It’s roughly 24 tall by 24 wide by 36 long. It seems short at first, but sitting on the edge of a couch/chair is not bad. Sitting on a foot stool feels too low. Ultimately I might build a base to bring it up 4 to 6 inches or buy some short stools. Since it is compact there’s a chance it might get to stay in the family room vs the basement. It feels solid/well made. Hope time proves that out.

Assembly was simply but still takes time to do but once completed unit very well built. This unit has many games from the past that I use to play at the arcade and I found this machine is very close to the original table top model I played back then. Overall construction of unit and materials seem very quality for the price of the unit. User manual could be better does not really explain the games and features of the unit. Recommend you order the two stools to enhance your gaming experience but overall I was pleased with this unit you get a lot of bang for the buck and very retro experience.

Easy to assemble and great value for 8 arcade games! Need to man spread but not bad unless you don’t have enough room behind both controls. Overall great and reminds me of my Pizza Hut times!

Love the machine and the assortment of games to choose from. My only complaint is the plastic top - it scratches too easy. I was hoping to get a glass store to make a duplicate of the top so I could replace it - so far no luck.

Great game, easy to assemble. I wish it had different kinds of games but it has multiple pac man games as it stated. It is still fun to play and a great game.
