This cabinet is the nicest on arcade 1up has put out yet with the exception of the monitor which isn’t so bad unless you are looking at it from an angle. Great line up and really quality product.

As a person who grew up loving the arcades of the 90s how could this not be a staple for my home arcade? Love it!

Unfortunately my machine came with some tearing on the side of the machine, as well as some screen damage. I should have known because the box was clearly damaged, and this wad probably a return.

It has it's ups and downs. I love the original mk artwork even without Jonny Cage on it. The monitor is something to be desired, but when it comes to these cheap arcade cabinets you do get what you pay for

Almost a Home Run

Arcade1up has come a long way since 2018.
The amount of improvements that this itineration of MK has over the original is awesome.
The control panel, height, coin door, marquee, and honoring the original game with the artwork are very cool.
The games list is nice and diverse, I’ll only be playing the MK games and Tapper, but for those looking for variety you have it here.
Cons: minor - button color is wrong for the block and start buttons. Buttons are super easy to replace. Happ/IL buttons can be done with wired that are plug and play with no splicing.
There are many videos on how to do it.
No Johnny Cage art - A1up had nothing to do with this, it’s a licensing issue.
Major - monitor. After having nice 4:3 BOE monitors the last few years, this went back to a TN 5:4 panel.
If you look dead on, most people will not notice.
If you are tall, short, or looking at the screen off angle at all it will wash out. Most people may not care, but if you’re expecting the IPS screen from last years legacy it will not have it.
There are ways to replace it, but many may not be comfortable with doing this.
I cannot comment on the online play yet, I need another Ethernet cable as the WiFi in my basement is spotty so I haven’t played online yet.
I used a 10% coupon on this, and a $450 I’m still happy with the purchase.
If you’re patient, almost all of these eventually go on sale. At $400 to $450 I’d say this is a good deal.

I love this machine! Critisism regarding the screen is real but I'm not sure what people are expecting for $500.00 shipped. This is an excellent product and an incredible value at $500.00. Has free online play and the additional games are fun too. I play Joust with my wife daily. Full disclosure, I swapped the screen for a better one and made a world of difference. My wife and I love this machine. Great product and great quality for the price. Dont Hesitate!

What a throwback! I am a big fan of arcades and I love the original Mortal Kombat games. These are not on modern Konsoles and I Kant play these anywhere else. There's also many other games! A must get for Arcade Fans! (The typos are on purpose ;) MK fans understand.
