    This is my second “full size” Arcade 1up cabinet. I have seen some reviews with negative comments concerning quality and installation. I have to disagree with those. The packaging is superb and the labels on the different screws are great. I have put together way too many entertainment cabinets and such with crappy instructions and screws all in one single package to figure out. There were a couple of unsure instructions, but were easy to figure out. It takes about an hour to an hour 1/2 to assemble. Once assembled it’s a blast. It’s a little on the short size, but I was aware of this when I purchased. I’m 6’3 so still trying to figure out the most comfortable way to play.

    This is a great deal. A lot of fun games. The cabinet looks really nice too. The only negative is that it's a little short and most adults will need to use a stool in order to play comfortably for long periods. Otherwise it's a good deal.

    Looks nice. Not easy to assemble, but looks nice once it’s done. A little smaller than I expected. Don’t play it as often as I thought I might. You can just press the button for more health (in Gauntlet) and that makes it lose something.

    This is a must have if you are an arcade 1up fan. It has a great selection of games. The fact that you get Mortal Combat as well as Rampage is awesome so you don’t have to go buy the Rampage machine separately. The only downside is Rampage is only 2 players not 3 like the original arcade game or the stand alone arcade 1up version but that is not a deal breaker for me. Also having Paperboy is great as it brings me back to my childhood. There are a few other games on here as well and my kids really like RootBeer Tapper which I had never heard of but it is quite fun.

    So far the arcade has met my son's expectations. Out of the box was easy to put together, the only issue was a couple of bolts that came defective and didn't attached the way it supposed to. As far as the games and console the satisfaction is a high 4 stars.

    Pretty easy to put together and fun to play. Im a big MK fan, so having this at home is great. I wish the controls were a little higher for us taller people…Ive got a 6 inch riser lift on order.

    My younger son enjoys Mortal Kombat. When the Arcade came out on sale I had to purchase it for him to add to his game room environment. He is a gamer and really good at playing arcades. He loves his new Mortal Kombat Arcade.

    Always wanted my own Mortal Kombat arcade units when I was a child, but couldn’t afford those giant machines. Not anymore! These are perfect for adding an arcade collection to your home.

    This is the 1UP Arcade to get. Ten games, including MK1, 2, and Ultimate 3. Scan line filter and difficulty settings are available on each game. Some games have additional options. MK1 and 2 have flawless emulation. Ultimate MK3 suffers from occasional slow down when a lot happens on screen. Otherwise it plays perfectly. This is my first 1UP purchase, and I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I'll pick up more as my favorite games are released.

    I really love this toy. The cabinet is sturdy and putting it together took a few hours. Controls work well and the cabinet is very attractive. Light up marquee is a nice touch. You see the games. All arcade smash hits for the most part. A lot of fun for the home bar. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

    Great memories playing these classic arcade games. Also good safe way for kids to play games that are not linked to the internet since completely offline with no costly buy ups or downloads like most games. Love the added stand on the bottom to increase height so can play sitting on a stool or standing.
