This A1UP Outrun cabinet is absolutely amazing and fun to play. Great construction and looks great. Fun for both adults and children. It really complements my home arcade.

Love this game. The graphics aren't Chrisp like the newer games as you would expect it's supposed to have that original authentic look. Comes with five games, I played it many hours and some nights rough shifting jerking The Wheel back and forth aggressively not on purpose just playing the game it's challenging and have had zero problems out of the game still functions perfectly everything is still holding up fine. I really love this cabinet it is amazing if you want a driving cabinet you will love it. Also the cooling fan inside of the small control board is it louder than the other games I guess it needs more to cool it I'm OCD in that little humming sound was bothering me I looked online others have said they disconnected theirs and had zero problems and have theirs on for 24 hours a day for a month, not recommending it I don't know but I disconnected mine and it's been about a month now and I've had zero problems I don't leave my game on for more than a few hours but anyway I'm not recommending anything it's just what I did I was willing to take the risk

Awesome. Arrived in perfect condition. Not a scratch or blemish anywhere. Easy assembly and gameplay is great. Comes with 5 games. The additional game "Rad Rally", though, it is not listed on kick plate. This is the largest of the A1ups to my knowledge. It is 61" high (same as Star Wars) but is a bit deeper and wider than Star Wars. Steering wheel feels great. Shifter feels a little cheap and pedals feel good but are a thick plastic so care should be taken. Overall very pleased.

Incredibly fun to play. Steering wheel works great and does not feel cheap. Assembly takes about an hour and is not hard at all. Looks great. Also has the bonus game all ready installed so no download needed.

Arcade1up Outrun Standup

Great arcade, looks & plays well, brings a smile to my face every time it’s played. 5 games in total, must admit I play Outrun the most.
This is my 5th Arcade1up (wife says my last) & went together w/no surprises. This is 2-3in taller than other Gen1 cabinets; same height as StarWars standup.
Quirks.....as others have mentioned, pedals are plastic so not sure how long they’ll last. Steering wheel feels great, self centers but has no force feedback. This has a fan on the PCB which runs constantly. I don’t hear it during game play but when in display mode it’s a bit annoying hearing the “humm”.
Overall a great Arcade1up cabinet, plays & looks awesome!

Don't buy an open box

I made the mistake of buying this cabinet as an "OPEN BOX-EXCELLENT CONDITION" from Bestbuy.com, for about a 20% discount off the new price. These arcade 1up machines are not small, and they are not light. The box weighs about 95lbs and is full of cardboard, shrinkwrap and styrofoam, packaged in a way to make use of the entire box - these machines are not easily repackaged.
That said, I removed everything from the package preparing for assembly, when I discovered it was missing at the very least, the foot pedals as well as the speaker panel, two unique parts required for use.
So I call best buy's 1-800 number, hoping they would make things right by sending me the parts I needed or at least shipping me a replacement and picking up the old one. After spending nearly an hour on the phone my options are box everything back up and print a return label, or box everything back up and bring it to my nearest store for another one or a refund. If I wanted a replacement machine, being this was an open box that was sold at a discount, I would be required to pay the difference for a brand new machine if I wanted to exchange it (there were no more open boxes available). What gets me is, somebody at Best Buy obviously packed this back up, knowing it was missing parts, but they sold it to me anyway. They wasted my time, and in the end, lost a customer for good and probably ended up throwing the cabinet in the dumpster and writing it off anyway. Lesson learned.

Two years in, and mine is still going strong. Only issue is a buzzing from a power cord against the cooling fan on the pcb. YouTube videos demonstrate that as an easy fix using a zip tie. Pedal still works fine. I do have to occasionally calibrate the pedals. Highly recommended. I have owned two original full sized arcades of this in my home. After messing with crt monitor issues and the weight of those, I will never go back.

Fun Game, Average Craft-personship

Overall, the games are awesome and play just like I remember from my childhood (though I thought I'd be a better driver now). The bonus game was also a real treat. It sit up slightly higher than my other A1U games, which is great since I am 6'7" tall. The steering wheel is surprisingly great as well.
On the other end of the spectrum, my machine had some cosmetic issues. The inners of my right side panel was chipped. The stickers on the stand were peeling and too large for the display. I also do not like how loose and flimsy the gear shift feels. And I'm quite wary of the plastic break and accelerator pedals.
If you're looking for fun, this game has it. If you're looking for crafted perfection...

I assembled the product with just a few hiccups. Mostly had to do with how to run the wiring. Not a big deal. Enclosure is sturdy. I wish the game had a reset button. In order to play again you have to turn it off and then turn it back on again. We are pretty happy with the games. Steering wheel and gas pedal feel pretty good.

The stand-up Outrun Arcade machine is excellent. It has a great selection of games and it comes with Rad Rally as a bonus game. I like all the included games and the height is great for standing up or to play with a stool. Highly recommended.

Great cab if you’re an arcade1up collector. Looks great in an arcade room. Only draw back is the petals are plastic. Worried they will break one day. They should have done a thicker plastic or metal for the cost of this cab.

Good gaming machine, looks very nostalgic, games are great to play, easy to put together but it is very time consuming.
