Customer Ratings & Reviews

As a fan of the Ridge Racer series, I'm thrilled to have my own home arcade version of it. Three Ridge Racer games, plus two excellent formula one racers - Ace Driver and its sequel, Victory Lap. The steering wheel is much better than expected and features rumble feedback for three of the five games. The pedals are cheap plastic, but you can purchase covers for them for about $20 on Amazon. The speakers are the weakest feature on here, however there's is a headphone jack. I plugged in my old Bose satellite speakers and, wow, it sounds fantastic! If you don't want to stand and play, pulling up a stool and sitting down to race is comfortably possible. Overall, a fun racing cab that looks amazing and plays great.

The Ridge Racer Stand Up Arcade is a great driving game. It is easy to play for all ages. My 6 and 10 year old grandsons absolutely love it! It includes a light-up marquee, rumble steering wheel, gas pedal and brakes, two-way shifter, and WIFI for leaderboards. To keep the driving simpler for the grandsons, I play the driving games that feature automatic transmission. I added a Philips HUE Light Strip to the back of the cabinet, which accentuates the game against the back wall. A HUE Motion Sensor activates the light whenever someone enters the game room & adds to the "cool factor". You can select the light strip color by asking Alexa to "Set the Ridge Racer" to Red, Blue, or any color you choose. Note the added back light in my photos. Despite being originally released in 1993, Ridge Racer has beautiful optics & is quite modern. It has been a big hit with adult guests, as well. I highly recommend it.

This arcade takes some effort to put together, but is totally worth it! I always loved racing games in the arcade, and this one comes with pedals and a steering wheel. You basically won't need the brake at all (just take your foot off the gas), and the steering wheel "snaps back" to the center position a little more strongly than it should, but otherwise the quality is top-notch. The included games are all very similar but fun to play, and the racing is surprisingly difficult to master. You'll be lucky to finish your first race, let alone place in the top 10. But once you figure it out (take your foot off the gas going into a sharp corner to start turning, then accelerate and drift around the corner), you'll get the rush of finishing first place. Overall, an excellent addition to my home arcade by Arcade1Up, and I highly recommend it. 5 stars!

Solid cabinet once it’s put together. There are tons of unassembled parts in the box, and even more screws and wooden peg fasteners. I’d buy assembly if it’s offered, or definitively bring a friend Steering Wheel and Gear Shift are high quality and gameplay is solid. Sound is rather awful, but a cheap set of 2.1 computer speakers improve things greatly. Gas and brake petals seem flimsy, but are functional

Very fun arcade cabinet. Love the rumble steering wheel. My only grip would be the sound of the cabinet. It is ver muffled but can easily be fixed by adding some Logitech speakers inside the cab.

Thumbs up and got it at a great Best Buy sale price. Steering is awesome and looks sweet all around. Perfect addition to our growing arcade 1up collection!

Kids love it and the steering wheel has haptic/rumble feedback with Ace Driver, Ace Driver 2 and Rave Racer

Love this game. Steering/braking is way more realistic than I even expected. Lots of fun.

Assembly is a bit of a pain with this one but the finished product is so fun. Both kids and adults love playing this and it looks great. I did have an issue with a single pilot hole being about a half inch off, I just made a new pilot and sunk the screw without issue. The pedals work fine, but they are far from true arcade quality. Have to be a bit gentle with them as the base is made out of a thin ABS, feels like an adult could shatter it if they stomped on it. Aside from that, it's a total blast and it gets a lot of use in our game room. Happy with my purchase despite the assembly and pedal set quality.

I own several real arcade cabinets, including the real Ridge Racer cabinet. However, at the price of $400 on sale i just had to pick it up as part of my collection. It maybe 3/4 scale however it is really not that bad of a cabinet size wise. I stand only 5.8 but it is perfectly sized for me. The BOE monitor helps. And the addition of several games helps the price go down. I recommend this cabinet to any racing fans too.

This is worth the $299 sale price! I wouldn’t pay much more for just 4-6 games. This cab can be soft/hard moded pretty easily aswell making it much more worth the price tag if you want to play say mario arcade or any of the burnout/need for speed arcade agames. (Included picture of retroarch running on cab)

Just like I remember! Super fun and only takes 2-3 hours to put together. I have multiple Arcade 1up machines and they are all great!

Very entertaining old school way to play. Fun for everyone. Looks pretty cool in the rec room too.

The power cord did not work but other than that it was fine. Hard for me but the kids loved it.

Kids are happy with it. Have another sale and we will buy another arcade!

Enjoyed this one the most, it comes with different games already nstalled

One of the more enjoyable A1up cabinets. Has alot of replay ability.

Received the product in good condition. Took about 2 hours to build, but the quality of the materials are great. In terms of gaming, its a good entertainment for hosting a party.

Beautiful cab but I ended up selling the machine for a couple of reasons - I didn't play it nearly as much as I thought I would and the sound quality was so bad, it really detracted from the game play. I'm not into modding so I wasn't particularly interested in trying to make any sound fixes.

Cab was definetly worth the $300. Would of paid $500. Easy to put together. Aside from the tin sounding speaker quality, making sure all cables are connected properly AND updating the cab firmware, will elimate many of the mentioned issues on here (no rumble, graphical glitches). One craftsmanship negative here that I have had with numerous 1Up cabs, is that there was some debris behind the screen protector. BUT its not that noticable when powered on. Thank You Arcade 1Up for decent accessible solutions to having LICENSED, LEGAL, home arcade products.
