Has 5 old racing games. I bought it becuase it has a steering wheel and a shifter.
The Wave racer game on the machine has a nice attract mode when the game is idle. I actually pictured this game with jet skies instead of cars when I first bought it. I feel it would have been better if it was the Wave racer I was thinking of even though this particular game has that nice attract mode but not as good of game in my opinion.

Ridge Racer is very challenging, really takes a while to get competitive and the cheap pedals don't help. You need to use both gas/brake in quick succession to compete and the plastic to plastic noise and weak construction makes it tough to really push it. No force-feedback on Ridge Racer makes it less desirable.

Wow what A game. I absolutely love the graphics and the sound is on point. Assembly was a two person job and took a little while. I would consider buying another 1up system in the future.

 Fun video game. Easy to put together although for a couple parts, you might need two people. Drives well and no issues so far. Even my wife likes plays. Good price too

I liked the way this arcade game looked once it was put together, however, there were only visual instructions. I had to rely on a YouTube video in order to put it together. I don't know what is so hard about making a how to put me together video instruction video from the manufacturer. The video game would not play because the accelerator was not calibrated correctly. I have to take it back.

Good addition to the arcade. Easy to put together. Solid steering wheel. Hard plastic gas peddle that’s kind of cheap but holds up surprisingly well. Formula 1 racing is superb. Speakers are below average. Shift knob is solid. Cabinet has a nice look overall. Headphone Jack is a nice bonus.

I love racing games. To have a steering wheel on this arcade machine makes it fun. I got this on sale at $299. This was a good purchase at this price.

These are the arcade versions of the games. All of them run at 60FPS all of the time and don't have any of the graphical glitches that can be seen in emulation. Great screen and a nice steering wheel. The pedals aren't great, but they get the job done. A very nice overall package.

I bought this at 349, and for that price I would say it was worth it. Kids gravitate to this cab. The steering wheel feels sturdy but the gas pedal feels a bit flimsy. If it wasn't for the gas pedal, it would have been a 5 star review!

Purchased this for $299 from Best Buy and completely happy with it. Built and packaged very well by Arcade1Up. Takes about two hours to build with one person. I own several arcades and this is my new favorite. Steering wheel feels great and pedals are not the best, but work nonetheless. Ace Driver is my favorite of the 5 games installed.
