Has a great collection of games (not all from 1981). This online version means updates can be done via WiFi. This has options for the "Fast" version of Ms. PacMan and double missiles on Galaga. Includes Galaxian and Galaga '88. Rolling Thunder is a hidden gem too! This cab is a little pricey, but had the selection of games I wanted.

I really wanted to like this machine. It looks good and sounds good, however it's very cheaply made and falls apart easily. The joystick ball doesn't stay on, it's trash. After less than ONE month of normal playing, the machine totally froze up and nothing works now. It's done! I'm returning this junk to Best Buy ASAP and will never buy another Arcade1up product. If you buy one of these, keep your warranty info and receipt handy at all times. Just thinking about how much time I wasted putting this thing together lol, don't do it.

Very impressed! Build instructions and machine precisions for assembly are very good. Manufacturing did a great job on this unit. Screen seems large (17") and very sharp and clear. Very enjoyable arcade.
