    Leaves a lot to be desired with its skinny frame despite the "deluxe" title. Save your money for a potential XL version. Buttons and joystick are subpar as usual.

    Do not purchase this product from Best Buy. It stopped working just after their 15-day return period and we are stuck working with the manufacturer to handle repairs. This is an unnecessary risk for the consumer for such an expensive product.

    Two great, iconic cabinets in one!

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Finally! Arcade1up has given us, well, sold us a realistic 3/4 scale replica of the coin operated, iconic arcade machine we played in the arcades, and still do, actually. The cabinet sports the nice BOE monitor, and realistic shape, as well as plastic molded coin door, as well as Live online leaderboards. The list of included games was good, though a few don't belong, as they were landscape oriented games. Those really should've been on cabinets that feature landscape oriented monitors. But, the ones that matter are presented correctly, in the portrait mode, on a portrait mode monitor. Very nice, that the title cuts were also presented correctly. The cabinet's assembly is just a little bit more challenging to do than the older models, but the extra effort is well worth the finished product. The only two very minor gripes I have are, that the volume is way too loud. Was equal to a 7, or 8, when set to 1. I fixed that with a Volbox volume attenuator, and a 4 pole stereo cable. The other gripe, is that the cabinet does not have the original rom sets from the real world cabinet. So, no hidden Pac-Man, or speedups accessed via joystick input codes. However, we do have fast versions with options settings. :) Mine didn't have the problem of the control deck plex bowing up, but if yours does, all you need do is loosen the 4 screws over the control deck plex, and gently hold the plex down whilst retightening the screws, and done. The riserless design is very cool. Makes for a much more realistic experience. The coloured screw caps were a very welcome addition to this product. Hope Arcade1up continues this, going forward. I also love that this cabinet combines the two iconic cabinets, Galaga, and Ms Pac-Man. Very nice. The controller is actually the four way controller, so it works very nicely with Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Galaxians, and others that originally used this controller in the real arcades. Also, finally, Arcade1up have started including a beautifully produced marquee which does not look washed out. Blacks are perfectly black, and contrast is perfect. Looks just like one you'd see in a real arcade. Only thing missing is the anniversary year for the time this cab originally appeared. Still, it's very cool.

    Unfortunately the item was stolen while in transit. Best Buy did not follow up or even discover the lost. I repeatedly called to seek a resolution. Had I not advocated for myself I wonder how long before Best Buy would have contacted me.
