Its a fun machine. Picked up to start a game room in my home, lets be real you cant have an arcade game room without pacman!
The assembly wasnt too bad, I wouldnt say easy either. They should advise in the assembly manual for when to connect the wiring as I didnt see that step. Luckily though, I connected them at when i thought they should be done to prevent having to unassemble parts of the cabinet at a latter time.
Missing from the user manual is how to go back to main screen to play a different game. I found by holding down 1 player button for 10-15 seconds will bring you back so you dont have to power cycle it.
Overall, im thrilled with this consumer grade arcade machine, my kids love it, and it'll have a long life in my game room getting played. Cant wait to add more Arcade1Up units to my collection

Arcade1up nailed it with this .
It's a great looking cabinet . The bright colors the artwork and the light up marquee really make this cabinet look amazing.
There are many different versions of pacman loaded on to it and some other games as well .
I love the galaga 88 is included .
The controls work fine and I love that you play via WiFi and keeps local scores
I love the sound and the volume adjustment . It gets pretty loud and it sounds good . I'd say it sounds great .
If your into arcade games or thinking of starting a collection , I'd for sure recommend this to start off . You'll love it

I really liked the quality of the cabinet, parts fit perfectly. I put it together myself with no help, that is a big plus, not bothering family members lol....
I have waited a looooong time to have my own arcade at home but it was a thought that I could never afford one, this is affordable considering is almost the same price of a gaming console.
If you don't have building experience there a a couple of pointers that I found helpful. If pin dowels fit loose, use a bit of wood glue. If building it yourself, a small cordless screwdriver is a must.
Gaming is great, but has control input latency, so, since this arcade has wifi and can be updated online, I just hope they release a fix for that, is not a hardware issue in my opinion.
Thank you Arcade1Up for making these affordable for us old timers .... Lol this was my obsession back in the 80s. Lots of quarters "invested" , also remember mom saying to save it for buying food or better than gaming....

Easy to put together, works really well. I like that it has a volume control, but i wish it had more than just pac man and galaga. The price was reasonable but could have a few more games. I like that its tall enough and doesnt need a pedestal, and even though it doesnt fold down for storage it is thin and fits in a small corner.

Wife loves it

Saw this in the store and noticed it was on sale. Wife loves Galaga and Pac Man so seemed like a good deal. Not a difficult assembly, only a screwdriver and patience is required. It's really just a cheap knockoff of an actual arcade machine, it even has a plastic coin facade for the front to make it look like a real machine. For home use it's quite sturdy, but much lighter than an arcade machine so you should anchor it as well as put a non-slip underneath as it will move on tile floors. Bottom line... wifey is happy playing her retro arcade, it gives her something to vent her inner demon on besides me and the kids!

Took me about 2 hours to build. Pretty straightforward but a couple steps had me windering exactly how to proceed. I read the step afain abd figuyit out. Remember to plug in the soeaker and light before closing up. Registration was easy. Gsnes are just like I remember. Pretty cool. Console height is fine i thought for me. Im 5’8”.

best replica of a pac man cabinet so far ...... i have had the Gen 1 for years it was wearing out and got this one for my birthday ,,,,,so much better to be able to stand and not have to sit on a stool even with the riser for the older 1ups.... it is tall and is the right height for me to play standing like i used to in the old arcades....only complaint is the buttons are too soft feel ......i like stiffer buttons to tap

The most fun I've had since my squandered youth!
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to assemble this beauty, and even though at first I was sure there were some missing pieces, after a few hours of struggle and success, it all came together. I am so very happy with this arcade-style edition of Pac Man, which brings back some very happy memories for me.

This is an absolutely amazing system. I have had fun for hours completing with my brother for a high score in galaga or one of the other many games. It was quite easy to assemble and will be a source of fun for the whole family for years to come! Could not recommend it more.

This machine is great. It’s new to my kids and nostalgic for me. Even my dad likes playing it!! And with 14 games and a wi-fi leaderboard, it’s better than trying to find a vintage machine!! I would highly recommend it. I’m thinking about a digital pinball machine next . . . !
