    We love it! We have enjoyed playing it so much. It brings back so many good memories for me (46) and my son (9) has really enjoyed learning some of the games I grew up playing. Mt husband and I regularly compete to see who is at the top of the leaderboard. We may only play a few of the games (Pac Man, Dig Dug and Galaga primarily) but it was so worth it. It doesn’t take up much room and it was a darn sight less expensive than a traditional arcade that costs in the thousands. We are extremely happy. My husband did experience the usual frustrations putting it together, but was able to do so.

    My Loving wife gave this to me as a Christmas present. Love it. It brought back many memories from my childhood days. Played with my 2 grandchildren and they loved it as well. Highly recommend it to both old and new generations to enjoy and make beautiful memories!! Galaga still rules!!!

    It's definitely a must have. Great for entertaining friends and family. It's just like the real thing back in the day, plus with other added bonus games to play. It's awesome.......

    Arcade 1up does a great job with their full size arcade machines. Theynare sturdy, easy to assemble, good height and very accurate gameplay with solid controls and graphics. I want them to keep making more of these machines with different games

    Very good product the kids play it all the time. Was easy to assemble but does take a little while. I would start by laying out the pieces and place them in groups. Instructions are strait forward. I do plan on buying more.

    Item is very cool, but extremely difficult to put together. If you use the riser, prepare for a 40" stool. You cannot see the screen anymore. Joystick isn't very responsive either. Nice to see a update to add more games.

    Looks great and plays great! But it was only me putting it together and it was tough to get the monitor to sit between the sides. Had to loosen the screws a couple times to align things but I got it all together nice. So I recommend enlisting a helping hand when assembling! Monitor looks crisp, Just wish there was a continue option for Tower of Duraga. It's a grind of a game! Galaxian rocks!

    Wow is an understatement! This took me all the way back to my childhood at the arcades. I would definitely purchase other games like this again. It was a little time consuming to construct but it was well worth it. It was a gift for my husbands man cave but it’s ours now, lol!

    Absolutely amazing! I don’t really write reviews like ever but I had to for this. I bought it about 2-3 weeks ago and literally haven’t stopped playing it but if I’m busy at home or with work I’ll still manage tk make time for it. I mainly bought it as a Father’s Day gift since my dad grew up on a handful of these games but curiosity got the best of me and ended up opening it and getting him something else. Lol

    Love the maching and classic form factor. Set up was easy using the instructions. I do wish the sides were 1 solid piece insread of 2, but the art still lined up almost perfectly(very slightly off) The machine did have a few imperfections small chips on corners of the boards. 1 chip is visible and is inside the screen viewing area. One other imperfection is the lite up banner art has a dust dot in the middle of the black, (very annoying i didn't notice till after machine was fully built) but I will just put a dab of black paint there to fix it. Would have gave 5 stars if the imperfections were not there, love the games, controls are good, and price is right.

    A lot of fun my kid enjoyed playing and even the adults enjoy it. It’s like bringing back their childhood. The only downside is the joystick could use a little work. Sometimes when you tried to go a certain direction, it does not let you.
