    The best arcade game ever! I've been playing Ms Packman since I was in college and I was so happy to receive this game for Christmas! The graphics are awesome. Set up was so easy. I love it!

    This has been a lot of fun for our family. It takes some time to put together. The cabinet is 3/4 the size of a regular cabinet (I think), but it doesn’t feel like you are playing on a small arcade cabinet. These arcade cabinets also don’t take up much space.

    This game brings back my childhood memories. It’s just like the old game rooms, same size as them. I spend hours playing it without using quarters.

    The joy stick reaction is a lil slow and it came off one time while i was playing it but its not to bad of a game cool addition to my other pacman. It only has 13 or so odd games so your really only buying the nostalgia but its fun. It is cool you can run it to wifi so you can see all the scores.

    This machine is awesome! I have not had a lot of time to play it, but I've enjoyed every time i did play. The machine plays just like it did when I was young.

    Solid Everything Except...

    It's a low rating, I know. Everything about this cabinet is perfect - The crisp BOE monitor, the look of the cabinet, the sound, the selection of games, and even the price for this much fun. However, I bought this to replace my Arcade1Up Galaga cabinet to upgrade with better sound, look, and selection of games, but it has one major flaw - the gameplay for Galaga is choppy, and is not the same as the previous cabinet. THAT IS THE GAME I BOUGHT THIS FOR! Yes, the game is the original ROM, it has all of the everything, but it is choppy, especially if you've been playing this for decades, as I have. It's unacceptable, and how did this get through testing? Arcade1Up has been in contact, and I sent them video as requested, and they said they were going to forward my comments to the Product Team, and I should be patient. I hope this can be solved with a Firmware, or some sort of update. I will be happy to remove this review if something changes, but I wish I would have read this review before purchasing... Also, the buttons react different from the previous, but I can overlook that.

    cool "vintage" games...easy to play (esp for my 6 yr old grandson) and fairly easy to assemble...dont plan on hooking up to net, but it does have that capability..the "turning on" sound alert is super sudden and loud, which i dont really appreciate but at least it is short-lived and never happens unespectantly..

    We have been looking for this product over a stretch of time. We used to play these games when we were in college days. Now that we have found it in Best Buy, my grandkids are enjoying it too!

    The Arcade1Up Arcade Game is a fun game for our family. It is just like what we used to play in the Arcade. It is easy to turn on. We bought a riser for it but ended up not using it because the height was just right.
