ARCADE1UP Class of 81’ Deluxe Arcade Machine for Home - 5 Feet Tall - 12 Classic Games

This is a supper fun and authentic looking replica of a standing coin operated game machine. Galaga and Ms PAC Man seem like quintessential old school games and both are on the device. The controllers work well and game play feels almost like the arcade. Many say it’s simple to put together but it takes some time and patience. The only real negative is the weight of the machine. It is not heavy enough for real game play as it will move if on a non carpet floor. My solution was to buy 50lbs of weight to place inside the machine a weight it down. Also placed non skid feet in the base. With these modifications it feels solid.

I love the retro-gaming concept and this doesn't disappoint. The amount of games on the system is really what sold me, the assembly wasn't too difficult and it looks great!I had to get two of them, so my reviews are both very similar.

Good quality and a lot of fun for the kiddos down in the basement! Includes a number of games that I grew up on, with easy navigation and joystick control. One drawback might be that the ball grip on the joystick can come unscrewed easier than I’d like, but it’s also an easy fix

Not too bad to put together. Hours of fun for the kids. Looks great.

I order mines at the end of November 2024, received it the first week of December 2024 and let it sit in the box a few weeks. When I finally put it together I noticed I was missing a piece. Luckily it was the piece needed at the very top, piece B2 so I was able to still put the game together and play it. I went onto Amazon, went to support, and was sent to the Arcade 1 Up website. I sent in my concerned and someone contacted me shortly after via email and asked for the serial and model number on the arcade, my address, and a picture of the piece I was missing from the instruction book. I received the missing piece in the mail maybe a couple weeks later I can’t remember. I’ve seen others complaining about missing pieces but it was very easy for me to get the piece. As for the game play, I love it!!! It’s a piece of my childhood.

This is an awesome video game that is well made and not as heavy as I previously assumed. However, it will take some reasonable time to assemble. The only complaint was that some of the directions are confusing because the diagrams are sometimes in an awkward view.We added a plywood base with wheels to make it easier to move around in the basement

assembly instructions were easy to follow and put it together myself in about 1-1/2 hourssimple to operate and my friends enjoy the new addition to our game room!

I hesitated to purchase this for a while as I was considering buying the full size cabinet original version in order to have a truly authentic gameplay experience. I am happy I went with this model instead of the original for several reasons. First, the gameplay while not exactly 100 percent is very true to the original, I would say 98 percent with the joystick the only thing lacking (plastic vs metal). The size is close enough to the full cabinet and is actually better for most situations since you can more easily move it and put other arcade1up machines next to it. The artwork and lights are very well done. I bought this for $400 on sale which I thought was a good value.
