Arcade1up - Ms. Pac-Man vs Galaga - Class of 81 - Deluxe Arcade Machine

This arcade machine is well built and certainly looks the part in the man cave (sorry I mean family room 😆). Flat packed so needs building but good instructions and relatively easy to do. Was lucky to get it in the Amazon sale so good price also.Very happy with purchase.

Absolutely love my Birthday Pezzie from the Hubs takes me right back to the 80’s.!!!Very good piece of kit!!

Would not definitely recommend arcade 1 up, just because as you will always find cosmetic damage on unit when open up the packaging . The damage is from the factory, there must be no quality checking or they simply do not care.The Damage ie scratches, dents etc is not done in transit. When you contacted arcade 1up, they are not interested. They say cosmetic damage is not covered by warranty. So please be warned.

It took me many hours or research to wrap my head around all the variations of cabinets. This is the second most recent Deluxe and comes with the BOE screen, improved non illuminated coin door, improved marque light and little covers for the screw holes. It misses out on the illuminated buttons, improved controls and illuminated coin door slots (these are present on the Galaga only machine).The unit was a couple of hours to build (including the unpacking and unwrapping time). It was so satisfying like a huge Lego set. I bought this unit as I loved the divided art and it is even better in person. Easy to damage when building so be careful and also take off the screen protector in good time. I did not and have bits of plastic hanging around the screen top.To play its a good height (I’m 5’ 7”), controls are good enough, screen has a bit of bleed but fine for me and its easy to switch between games. There is a much improved experience playing these old games on a cabinet vs a modern console.The negatives are there are small marks on the artwork and on some surfaces, the ball top joystick comes slowly undone during play, despite being quite heavy the machine is easy to rock and finally the wifi update seems to have erased the cute MsPacman or Galaga animation on boot up.Overall well worth the £439 at this point.
