    Growing up battling my friends on the original two-player Ms. Pac-Man game after scarfing pizza at the local pizza shop was everything to me. Nostalgia about knocked me over when I saw this Ms. Pac-Man game table for sale! So this game table is an investment, but it's worth every penny; it's easy to build and use, sturdy, high-quality, just an all around excellent product that I highly recommend. The one and only issue we had was that the red balls on the joysticks came unscrewed as we played, so I epoxied them onto the sticks and we've had no issues since.

    Great Table Top Arcade Game!

    Takes a while to build, but is easy to assemble, if that makes sense. The game play is spot on. To me it plays identical to Ms. Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Galaxian, and Galaga. I notice absolutely no difference from this game, and the ones I used to chuck quarters into. The other games are meh, but I'll play them here and there. The main complaint I read in other reviews about the ball coming off of the joystick is true, but only one of my two does it. I just check it and screw it on tighter while I play. No big deal. Overall, I am thrilled with it!

    Arrived quickly, well-packaged and in pretty good shape. Set up was pretty easy overall: other reviewers have described this to be similar to IKEA furniture which I agree with. Helpful to have a second pair of hands for a few areas. Honestly, it was probably more work to unpack than to build/set up...I’m impressed with the build quality. (I was thinking I would need to get plexi for the top but it came with a thick piece to cover the whole top of the table already.) Once assembled, this thing is awesome. Great graphic quality, feels true to the original games and so much fun! Absolutely happy with this purchase. If you’re on the fence about buying this (like I was), just buy it!

    Best 1up cabinet that you can get!

    In my opinion, this is THE single best Arcade 1up cabinet currently made (2020). It’s got a great collection of games, is the perfect size and has great artwork that isn’t too garish for a house. Frankly it looks better than the original arcade cocktail tables. It is also MUCH easier to build than the standup cabinets. The downside is there is a slight graphics glitch on Ms Pacman but that’s minor. A bigger issue is that the firing rate on Galaxian and Galaga seems a bit sluggish and does adversely affect gameplay so I took off 1 star for that. Still, even with the minor problems the cabinet is totally worth it and even more so now that they have added two additional games (Mappy and Pac N Pal) in a patch. Make sure you go to the Arcade 1up website and download it!

    This is a great product. Has a nice plexiglass top so putting snacks and drinks on the top aren't an issue. Unlike some of these machines the size seems appropriate. You will need to get some appropriate stools. Ikea type instructions for assembly are good. It took me a little over an hour to put it together by myself. The games are as you remember them. The volume is adjustable and will go very loud. The product over all is solid.

    This is my first Arcade 1Up purchase and I'm glad I chose this machine. Great combination of games, sturdy build quality and just a great overall look and feel. There are enough games on it to keep you coming back and not tire of it too quickly. Great piece of nostalgia for you game room, basement, or man cave. It took about 45 minutes to build. Pretty straightforward but just take your time and be careful and you'll be fine. Some assembly steps are easier with 2 people. If I had one request, it would be to be able to access the game settings to tweak lives, difficulty, etc. This doesn't really negatively impact anything though, just a wish.

    Love this new cocktail table. It was easy to put together and seems pretty solid. However, I wouldn’t go sitting on it or anything. I’ve been patiently waiting for them to offer Ms. Pac-Man and it hasn’t disappointed. Ms. Pacman, Galaga and Dig Dug are the main games. The others are just filler and kind of boring.

    Well worth the money! Easy to put together, solid, quality cabinet. The games are just like we remember. Slightly smaller than the one we had at the pizza place, but that's a good thing. Comes with 8 games, all are fun!

    This Ms. Pac-Man Cocktail Table from Arcade1up was a dream come true for me. I always wanted a cocktail table arcade and this smaller version still does the job! The cabinet comes with 8 games, but there is an update to add 2 more games (Pac and pal and Mappy). Note that this is a physical update that requires a download onto a thumbdrive to then upload on the cabinet. This table unfortunately came out before they started to add online leaderboards, but it doesn't take away from the experience. I highly recommend Arcade1up's Pac-man or Ms. Pac-man cocktail tables.

    Updated from a Best Buy to a Must Buy!!

    Arguably the best pac-man Arcade1up cabinet of the year. There were notable issues with the sound and pixilation quality up til now, but a recent firmware update was a game changer. They added Pac&Pal and Mappy to the game list for a total of 10 games, that's 3 more than you'd find in the 40th Anniversary Pac-Man cabinet. Sound issues DURING the game were fixed (except the menu selection sound doesn't match up to the in-game sound level, doh!). And holy cow, the game is now presented in all it's pixilated glory. Finally! Firmware update has seemed to improve joystick response in Ms. Pac-man as well, I mean it really flows really nice. Very slick moment now. Toss in those extra two games, and this 8 in 1 can be yours as 10 in 1 with one very official software update trick. ***** Five out of five stars. I don't do online reviews at all, but felt people need to know there's more unlockable value to this if they own it or are considering it. Now if we can just get that 2nd firmware update past QC that adds the per game setting dip switches, this will just be absolutely amazing. Thanks Arcade1up!

    I stumbled across this on my Best Buy app and made the purchase immediately. I already own other Arcade1UP games. This is the perfect addition to my man cave/ref room. It is full size and just like you remember as a kid. The assembly took less than 60 minutes for one person. Easy to set up and very easy to use. My friends love the nostalgia of the machine. Great graphics and design. Get one while you can.

    The Neo-Classicism Movement of 1980's Arcade

    This was a birthday present for my father, who's now in his 60's; he used to play arcade games (in this particular configuration) at a local bar in the 1980's. When I asked which game he enjoyed playing most, he reminisced on his Ms. Pac-Man days at a local dive. Needless to say, he was blown away when he saw a--virtually identical--machine in his home theatre room. When he turns the machine on, he'll play for hours on end; I still haven't been able to beat his top score--92,600!

    It is fantastic, it reminds me of the one that we had in the local pizza joint the wife and i would go to on dates. The pizza place is gone and I didn't want to spend 2K for the ones on EBAY. So when I saw this I jumped on it. It went together fast and well and was easy to follow instructions. It plays just like the other ones. Thanks

    Purchased this game for my wife, and she absolutely loves it! It is fairly easy to assemble (like putting together furniture). The game play and motion is true to the original games you've played in an arcade, and the build quality is really good. One important note is the joystick works well. This is usually the weakness of most arcade games I've purchased; not with this game.

    I love it. Yes you have to assemble, but it made the anticipation greater! Things these days are made kind of cheap, but this cabinet is very well made. The joystick feels great and it is very authentic. The sound is also very good and you can easily control the volume. A very pleasant surprise.

    Pleasantly surprised at the build quality of this retro! Assembly took 45 minutes and was very straightforward. Screen is clear, game play is like the original and the extra games included are an added bonus! Will be a great addition to our basement and will be enjoyed by both young and old!

    Ms. Pac-Man Brings Back the Nostalgia

    If you grew up in the 80's then arcade games have a special place in your heart. At least they do for me. Had to get this when I saw it and Ms. Pac-Man one of my faves. The console looks just like you remembered when you went to the arcade or pizza joint that had one of these in the corner. The only draw back on this for me is the joy-stick, it's rigid and the ball of the stick can come off easy if not tightened. Other than that no complaints. It's true to the original game and includes Dig-Dug, Galaga, Galaxian and other lesser known Pac-Man games. It looks cool in the home too!!!
