    My wife has wanted one of these for years. Christmas 2024 Santa dropped it under the tree. It brings her back to her single days in college. Loves 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.

    Arcade 1up does a great job with their full size arcade machines. Theynare sturdy, easy to assemble, good height and very accurate gameplay with solid controls and graphics. I want them to keep making more of these machines with different games

    Item is very cool, but extremely difficult to put together. If you use the riser, prepare for a 40" stool. You cannot see the screen anymore. Joystick isn't very responsive either. Nice to see a update to add more games.

    I play Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig Dug EVERY DAY. EVERY DAY! CHOMP CHOMP, PING PONG, BLEEP BLOOP! I yank that stick all around, beat the side of the cabinet when I lose and kick it with both feet with real MMA style kicks and IT STILL WORKS... PERFECTLY! I love this thing... I quit my job as a flight engineer and just play Ms. Pac Man, Galaga and Dig Dug all day, EVERY DAY! If you aren’t into actual authentic arcade cabinet style gaming, maybe you can settle for a less awesome game system. Ball's in your court. Live your dreams.

    Love it! Took a few hours to put together, and the buttons are as responsive as the old school ones. Might upgrade the joystick/buttons down the road. But it was a gift for a huge Ms Pac-Man / Galaga fan and it was LOVED

    Best gift I ever gave to my husband! In fact, I am stunned that the whole family plays: adult kids, teen kids and grandkids. Everyone we know wants to come over... yes, it gets talked about that much. Assembly was time consuming but not difficult--and as my husband said, "Totally worth it!" Highly recommend for anyone... not just those of us who grew up in the '80's.

    This game cabinet is awesome and so much like the original. It doesn't take up a lot of space,and it looks great in my man cave. It takes me back to the early 80's in the arcade rooms playing games like Ms PacMan, Galaga, Dig Doug which are a few of the games that's included. The price is really good for this product compared to what it cost to have the original and the assembly was very easy/fun considering I like putting stuff together. Great buy!!!

    Our family is thrilled with the Arcade1up Class of 81! It was a breeze to set up, the picture quality is top-notch, and it's way better than the first wave cabinets. The ease of use has made it a favorite in our household. A definite win for game nights!
