I am extremely happy with my purchase. The tabletop was easy to put together. It is light to move around and is sturdy when in use. It has been such a hit with family and friends that a few have purchased their own. If you place your tabletop on a hardwood floor, I suggest you purchase a small rug so it doesn't move when in use.

We have quite a few of the standing arcade oneups, this sit down was a nice addition. Our 4 and 6 year old girls love to play as well, we paired it with some Ms. Pac-Man stools that are the perfect height for them. Decent size for its type, hubby and I can play comfortably, and the overall quality is good.

WOW!! It bring back memories when I spent all of my weekly allowance on these games. Ms. Pac-man, Galaga, Dig Dug, other Pac-man games are here. It is easy to setup (put aside at least 2 hours if you are doing it yourself). Everyone who played it always had a fun time. Great for kids too!!

This console offers a diverse choice of interactive games. It comfortably accommodates two players and fits easily into any game room. Members of our family, from age 5 to 68, easily play and enjoy playing. Games include the original simple Pac Man and up cool more modern 3D action games.

Fun little game, make sure you put some thread lock on the joystick balls other wise they keep unscrewing and coming off. Also there is a update on the arcade1up website to add 2 more games. You have to disassemble to apply update so easier to do before you put it together all way.

Easy Setup, Endless Fun, Small Issues

Setup: took me about an hour (distracted by TV) to assemble. Very simple instructions and minimal tools. Some screws didn't want to go in but you just have to play with it to open the socket up for them.
Gameplay: fun, but... So it's a ton of nostalgia fun.. but the gameplay speed is slower than you'd expect. A bit of reading on Reddit revealed that the speed we were used to for Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man was sped up at some point to get more of our quarters. I've also read that this can be corrected with software but we've already adjusted to the speed.
Small gripe: the red ball comes loose very easily and has to be spun on again. We are debating using a bit of glue to keep it from coming off during usage.

Love it. Quality is great. Nice feature as a cocktail table. I bought risers to install on the bottom to make it closer to bar height.
The games are solid. Only 1 of the 8 isn’t worth playing. Galaga is a hidden gem. Definitely the favorite.

This is a great arcade cocktail cabinet, all around. It was easy to build and the games are all fun. If you go to Arcade1Up's website, you can download a firmware upgrade that really improves the UI and adds two new games for a total of ten.

This is Arcade1ups best release to date!

I've never written a review on Best Buy before, and I own 16 Arcade1up cabinets in all. I love each game/cabinet for different reasons, and some are indeed better than others. The Ms. Pac-Man cocktail shines above them all in terms of looking like an authentic arcade game from the 1980s. They did a fantastic job with the cabinet. It looks "the look", and is actually a full sized cocktail arcade vs the earlier Pac-Man and Street Fighter releases (which are still awesome even though they are slightly smaller). Arcade1up introduced an LCD "filter" on their head-to-head games that smooths the pixilation that often makes retro games look bad on modern LCD screens. Some folks don't like it (I suspect younger gamers who don't understand that an LCD doesn't normally look good in an arcade game vs an old school CRT monitor.) I've read where some actually call the screen "blurry". I doesn't look that way to me at all. I love it. Within minutes of playing it I totally forgot I was playing an Arcade1up version of Ms. Pac-Man. I've been collecting vintage arcade games for years, and I'm a bit of a purist. They knocked it out of the park with this release. Highly recommended.

Back to the 80’s

This is the closest you can get to the original ms pac man / galaga table without spending a small fortune. So far I am loving almost everything about this table. The finish is beautiful and the top plastic does a great job of keeping your table safe from spills. It’s a great height with no riser needed. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the emulation, but it looks good to me.
As for negatives, the only one I have found so far is the speakers are a little too loud, even on the lowest volume setting. You also need to be careful installing the top plastic that you don’t get any pet hair or dust under it since the table is black and it will show. It reminded me of putting a screen protector on a cell phone.
That being said, I love this table, Well worth the money for anyone who grew up playing these games in the 80’s and always wanted this version at home.

I was originally expecting the item to come pre-built, but you do have to put it together yourself. It is fairly easy to do, but will take you a little time. Fun machine for the whole family to play together with.

It’s been fun playing! Great machine. Easy to put together. Took approximately 45min to do. It’s not heavy, so slides around easy. Might want to put on carpet so it doesn’t slide around when playing.

Good clear screen and graphics. Game play is clean and smooth. Joystick knob can come off if not careful. Unit was packed in the box adequately. I don’t think it’s worth full retail but I got it on sale and is worth what I paid. Cabinet is decent quality. Definitely did a good job making this feel close to the og for a smaller scale.
