    If you hung out at a bowling alley or a roller rink in the 80's then you need this machine! So much fun that I want to buy another one! Has a feature to go live on the internet but I've never tried it! My entire family plays it! I'm jealous that my kids get to learn how to play for free but I had to drop a bunch or quarters to learn in the 80's!

    Our family is thrilled with the Arcade1up Class of 81! It was a breeze to set up, the picture quality is top-notch, and it's way better than the first wave cabinets. The ease of use has made it a favorite in our household. A definite win for game nights!

    I play Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig Dug EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY! CHOMP CHOMP, PING PONG, BLEEP BLOOP! I yank that stick all around, beat the side of the cabinet when I lose and kick it with both feet with real MMA style kicks and IT STILL WORKS... PERFECTLY! I love this thing... I quit my job as a flight engineer and just play Ms. Pac Man, Galaga and Dig Dug all day, EVERY DAY! If you aren’t into actual authentic arcade cabinet style gaming, maybe you can settle for a less awesome game system. Ball's in your court. Live your dreams.

    This game is fantastic! It’s a legit arcade video game and the controls actually simulate the original version. It took 2 of us to put it together but the directions were straightforward. Once we got it together the real challenge began…the head to head tournaments for bragging rights! Get it and you won’t be sorry!

    So, so, so freaking happy with this purchase. My wife was excited beyond words opening this arcade as her Christmas present. We are both enjoying it and the live up of 12 different games is great! Love that I was able to find it at BB.

    Love it! Took a few hours to put together, and the buttons are as responsive as the old school ones. Might upgrade the joystick/buttons down the road. But it was a gift for a huge Ms Pac-Man / Galaga fan and it was LOVED

    Such a fun item to gift. Works so well and gives the nostalgia of a traditional arcade. It does take about 3-4 hours to assemble. Highly recommend hiring someone to assemble if you’re uncertain on instructions.

    Takes me back to the time when I was a kid spending all the money I had earned doing odd jobs just to give it all away to a Ms.PacMan. Now I can play ‘til my heart’s content.
