What a hidden gem. When we purchased this cab we didn’t know it had more games than Pong. They should have named this Tempest because that gets the most play. We have numerous Arcade1Up cabs and this actually get played more than the others. It’s easy to add a portable battery and make it wireless. We love the portability of this little thing. Bottom line: Top notch little table cabinet. We updated the screw set and it looks even better.

Very solid build quality, the spinners have just the right weight and feel to them. Very fun to compete head-to-head against others, plus all games are playable single player as well. Screen is bright and sharp, although you need to be sitting at the right viewing angle. My only minor complaint is that it would have nice to have some more games included, although the ones that are there are solid, spot-on arcade ports. If you are already a fan of the included games, I highly recommend buying it (especially if you can get it on sale).

First off this thing a work of art. The classic colors of the table pop. This is a very solid build and feels very high quality.
The controls are spot on and feel great. The included games really play well on the screen. It is a small size but packs a big punch.

Definetly recommend as a small easily moveable old fashioned video game. One you can leisurely play while still holding a conversation. It doesn’t require a week to learn like most these days

Surprisingly well built, the spinners feel nice and do not have the clicks like the older Asteroids Arcade1ups. The feeling is smooth. The display is small, but big enough for the games offered, and is very crisp and clear.

It’s a good unit and it plays well with lots of set up options. My issue with it is why do they protect the top with clear plastic and not where you play like the big arcades.,
It constantly gets dust under the edges and has to be unscrewed to be cleaned don’t like that.

Quality of the cabinet is pretty good. Buttons aren’t very clicky and the spinners don’t rotate perfectly centered but it’s a decent cabinet to buy on sale. I won’t sit around playing all the time but it’s fun for making up drinking games with buddies.

Bought this for my son's birthday. He likes it and is looking forward to playing the games. I was hoping that it would be a little bigger for the money. Giving 4 stars because of the size of the game.

IMO, Controls should be on the longer sides, so it would more accurately mimic the old style version I grew up with on my TV. Plus, wish the screen was a little bit bigger. Fun times though!

Purchased as a gift and it was DOA; no video. I didn't realize this as we didn't open it for some time..and Arcade 1up requires a lot of info for the RMA so it is not a convenient process. There were also loose screws on the hardware.

Works great. Pong like I remember long ago but surprisingly a lot of fun. Has other great old school games that were long forgotten but my son and grandson found them fun like I did 40 years ago!

Excellent system if you are into retro Atari games. Provides a few variations on the classic pong. Spinners are well made and are the best way to play these classic games.

This is a great unit! Spinners feel very weighty and responsive, and the game choices are excellent with Super Breakout, Warlords, and Tempest being my favorites.

This Pong game brings back childhood memories of playing Pong on our floor TV. How times have changed.
