    Love this machine it is our 5th aracde1up so far another great one. It is easy to assemble. My only complaint is the deck protector had some marks on it that I couldn't get out. Also got it on sale I do think the prices are getting to be a bit much for these machines dont think there worth more then 500. But they are fun.

    I am so excited to have this in my home. All the stresses of the world these days I feel blessed to be able to enjoy a childhood love of mine. Very easy to put together, I think all companies should have the step by step instructions like this one. Works great!

    Love this game. The unit is solid and the creek and sound are great. A little difficukt to put together but if you follow the instructions it's not terrible. I would say it took about 3 hours to put together. For the price, wish it came with the galaga matching stool.

    Awesome. Best Xmas gift in a long time. Buying a second one for my pops. I removed the base so it's perfect size for my kid. Joystick has a little bit of lag but your guests will love it. I do wish it had more games considering the technology available.

    So far so good! I gave this arcade game to my grandchildren for Christmas. My son and his father-in-law put it together. It does have lots of pieces, but all the parts and pieces were included. The children are enjoying it and that makes a happy grandmother.

    Got this yesterday and while it's not hard to put together it would be much easier with 2 people. I enjoy the games and they play well. I am just shy of 6 ft and the game is comfortable to play. I do plan on upgrading the joystick to one that is a higher grade thus the 4 rating but all in all I am very satisfied with the purchase

    Loved the product but it didn’t last long. Used it sparingly, and moved it, then started getting a flickering screen/marquee. Reached out to support for help and ultimately they couldn’t figure it out so they suggested a new computer for it. Very sad to report they didn’t give any price breaks for it and couldn’t figure out a repair for their system. Loved the product but be very careful with it as it won’t last very long!!!

    This came with perfect directions, (mostly pictures). Took about 2 hours to assemble (glued all the dowels in place before starting) Solid construction upon completion. Nice addition to the game room (basement)

    I think a bit over priced for build quality. Cheap materials. However, if you are a Ms. Pacman fanatic like myself, it is fabulous!! The Riser is great and it plays smoothly. I would definitely recommend this product! Other great games were included like Galaga!

    Put this together by myself, fairly easy to do but takes time - plan on an hour and a half or so. Not as tall as the original arcade model even with the riser but the game play is the same. After this experience, I would definitely consider other Arcade1up machines.

    Brings me back to my childhood! What a great product to add to my entertainment center. I look forward to purchasing more of these Arcade1Up products. As with all instructions/directions, they could be clearer for the person that is not as handy with tools and assembly. Product was well packed & protected during shipping. I have already logged many hours of game time and had some family competitions for scoring records. I have not used the online/WiFi components of this system, as of the writing of this review, but I'm sure it will add even more satisfaction to this product purchase

    Love it. It’s great and went together pretty easily. Only complaint would be I wish it had a true 4-way joystick. Ms. Pac-Man is a bit more challenging with this joystick as a result. Fun purchase.

    I would give it 5 stars except the fire button is not as responsive as it should be - other than that I love it! Sturdy, a great selection of games and everyone loves playing the oldies but goodies!

    Amazing collection of some classic Namco titles!

    Awesome collection of some of the best (and my personal favorite) Namco game titles. Best games are Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug, and Mappy. Only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is that the joy stick is not 100% accurate. I had read other reviews that the joy stick was better than some earlier Arcade1Up cabinets but this one needs some work, esp. if you are playing Ms. Pac-Man on the fast mode. Also assembly was not as easy as was led to believe. For the price charged I expected better material and stronger screws (some of the ones in the sealed bag were broken!). All in all I would say it is a fun collection if you are in the market for an Arcade1Up cabinet with some awesome games.
