    Good cab but with some faults.

    I personally love this cab but it does have some faults. First the aspect ratio for centipede is incorrect. Also the screen is a bit too bright. Also, when I had it all together the track ball wasn't working properly. I had to lube the two bearings that the track ball rides on and now it works great!

    A great throwback arcade game with multiple games to choose from. This is not the same size as a traditional arcade game you find in arcades. However, it does play like one…sounds and all! And the price makes it worthwhile in my opinion. Assembly does require some time and patience. And someone to help makes it go that much smoother.

    Lot's of fun. Works great only complaint is the screen seems to have to much contrast causing the blacks to be sorta lightened or kinda greyish as opposed to deep black... My other Arcade 1up machines next to this one and that's when you notice it the most. Control is not commercial, definitely for home use only, but a good buy for the money and lots of fun, plus it looks super cool in my living room... since I can't have a fishtank in my apartment, the light gives the same background effect.. love it.

    I love it! It's just like the one we played back in the '70s and '80s at the arcade! I've had now days youth ask what the story plot is. I say I have no idea. Shoot the centipede and avoid the spider!!! Games the way they should be!!!

    I love the cab design and has a great game list. I would like it to be a vertical screen but because of the game list I see that it was not possible. I would have given it 5 stars but the screen is not so good. I replaced the screen so now it is perfect

    Excellent, and the instructions for assembly were ready to follow. The games are exactly the way they were in the game rooms and the controls work exactly the same. It retains the high scores even when the unit loses power, which is different from an earlier Arcade1Up machine that we have. Simple to move to other games in the system and it’s so much fun to be able to play these games like in the arcades years ago.
