Had a buddy help assemble it and it made it much easier. It took us about 40 mins to get it up and running after everything was unpacked and unwrapped. The only issue was the speaker was going in and out so we had to take the top off to check wires and we found there was a wire partially plugged in. We fixed and she works great and looks great.

It’s not bad. Some of the games aren’t great, some are. The table was too short for me so I added legs. Build quality is good, plexiglass as rather easy. It was easier to put together than the 3/4 cans IMO.

The game takes me back to the days of waiting for a table at one of our local restaurants and playing Ms. PAC Man until I ran out of quarters or the table was ready. Love this machine!

This product exceeded my expectations for build quality, appearance, and performance. We bought it on sale for $500 around the holidays, and that price seems about what I'd be willing to pay. At full MSRP I'm not so sure. I assembled this alone in about 1 hour 15 minutes with little trouble. The only minor improvements to build/assembly I'd like to see: the ribbon cables connecting the screen, controls, power, etc. would benefit from being a few inches longer. This would make one-person assembly easier as you'd be able to manipulate the large pieces more easily. There should be some black, plastic caps to plug/cover the exterior fasteners for neater appearance. These are both very minor things. As for gameplay, most users will probably only be interested in 3-5 of the games and not so much the unpopular/esoteric titles. But Galaga, Ms. Pac Man, and Galaxian are exactly as they should be. Sound is good and the controls feel solid. I haven't figured out if you can switch between game without powering the unit off first (essentially rebooting with a new selection), but this takes only 15 seconds or so. I'd say the scale/footprint of the machine to be 75-85% the original cocktail size, but it's not too small. It's lighter than expected. Since there's no CRT the interior of the cabinet is mostly empty space. The actual display is identical (if slightly better) than what the arcade version was like. Recommended.

I'm a gaming enthusiast and have always wanted either an upright or cocktail style cabinet in my home. This is my first cabinet and I chose this one because I like the design of the cabinet itself, and that it includes several of my favorite arcade originals! I'm looking at you Rolling Thunder, Ms. PacMan and Dig Dug.
This cabinet was easy to put together, it does take a little time, but nothing too long. It looks great and it does not take up too much room. The screen is vibrant and looks great. The sound is good, and it is not like you need great speakers to replicate sounds of some of the early arcade games.
I don't have many knocks against the machine, but it'd be nice if it connected to wi-fi, for easy updates, or online leaderboards to see high scores, or to transfer World-Wide High Scores to your machine. One great thing about arcades was FINALLY beating that high score that had been on the machine forever. My other knock is that the machine itself is a little expensive. A decent deal on sale, but overpriced at full price.
If you watch Youtube, or search the internet, you can find these machines are modable if you know what you are doing. I haven't modded mine yet, but may do so in the future.
I highly recommend this machine if you enjoy any or most of the games and are looking to get a "Legal" cabinet for your home.

Nah, easy peasy. Instructions are pictures only, few words, but nothing difficult at all. All you need is a phillips screwdriver and some free time. The one thing to pay attn to is the gray ribbon cable. It MUST be plugged into the correct controller. That was my only hiccup and relaized my mistake after a few minutes if troubleshooting. Gonna use this as a dinette table! Hahaha

Awesome purchase,, brings back memories - plays just like I remember! Comes in a large heavy box, 3 inner packages, laid everything out and followed the instructions, no issue with self installation - took about an hour. Suggest to build it close to where you will use it, just easier to maneuver. great purchase, not sure why I waited so long to pick one up.

I was looking for classic cocktail cabinet style games to add to my game room. My wife mentioned wanting a Ms. Pac-Man game and I got it for her during the holiday season at 1/2 price! Or is it really for me???? Either way, the cabinet gives off an awesome look and feel to any game room!
