Pac-Man Deluxe

This is such a cool gift. It's full sized and the games work as expected. Putting it together is pretty easy but you'll need your own screw driver and the instructions can be a little tricky. The main thing is they don't explain to put the wooden posts in certain parts, you have to look closely at the pictures to tell. The end result is indistinguishable from a classic arcade machine.

Old school stand up arcades are the best: Short game play times encourage sharing the game, taking turns, and making the experience fun for everyone! Highlights: 1: This arcade is well packaged. My box arrived damaged on the outside, but arcade was packaged so well, there was no damage to the actual arcade. 2: The arcade has a good selection of quality classics that all play well (rather than thousands of games you never heard of and don't play well). 3: Screen, controls, sound, and art are all great and contribute to the old school arcade experience I loved as a kid when we went to the pizza parlor. 4: After the third game the audio stopped working. I contacted customer service via the website on a Saturday night and had a response within a few hours! I worked with customer service trying out some trouble shooting steps over Sunday and Monday, and when it was clear the problem was the PCBA (the brains of the arcade), they promptly sent out a new one and made sure I knew how to install it. I was able to install the new PCBA with just a Phillips head screw driver in under 20 minutes. It was worked flawlessly ever since. The customer service experience was top notch! 5: The price is amazing compared to other arcade units.

Easy to assemble and fun to play. Looks great in our game room.

Have considered getting some version of this forever — from the MAME emulator all the way back to an original-used legacy quarter machine. Im on day 6 and Im happy with the purchase. Assembly took a bit (I think I logged just over 90 minutes) but wasn’t difficult. The instructions are great — pay close attention to the images to avoid placing a piece backwards! I think my history of IKEA construction probably helped! The whole thing goes together with a simple Phillips head screw driver. The cabinet is just a bit smaller than what my 40y old memories recall but it’s a nice size and feels like a real arcade machine from my youth. Modern LCD and electronics mean that the whole ‘gaming’ bit is basically a large iPad but the cabinet is heavy enough that it doesn’t matter. Buttons and joy stick seem solid and the gameplay is about perfect. Im sure there were instructions but I didnt spend anytime with them and had to lookup how to reset back to the main gaming menu — press player one button for a few seconds. There is some online thing available to share scores or maybe play head to head … who knows. I did allow a firmware upgrade to download.

This is a really nice arcade machine and fun to play. I gave it 4 stars bc the instructions to assemble were not specific enough. I'm a female and did put it together by myself with the exception of placing the top part on the bottom. I did get help for that bc it was heavy and you have to line it up exactly over the holes.

I bought this arcade unit as Amazon Resale and as such it came with a few nicks and dings but the unit worked well and is a ton of fun. Instantly became the greatest Grandpa ever. Assembly wasn't as tough as some of the reviews called out, but it does take some time. Plan on an hour or hour and a half to assemble. Take your time and don't read too much into the photo directions. Setting up the WiFi was a snap as well. This arcade unit gives you the same feeling as the quarter fed machines of the 80s. Just without the feeding of quarter after quarter. So... it is not coineverous. LOL. The booting is a little slow but well worth the wait. The game selections are too similar to consider them as more than one game, but there is enough here to entertain for hours. There is a two-player mode for each game so you can challenge others. All-in-all, this is a great value and I can't see the grandkids getting tired of this too quickly.

Took me about 2 hours to assemble by myself (not an engineer). Looks terrific and is fun to play for kids and adults.

Exactly as I had hoped, games are just like I remembered when I was a kid, build was easy enough. I put it together my self, and though it looked daunting, I just followed the instructions step by step and put it together without any issues. Directions are just so-so, but good enough for me to do it perfectly. From opening the box to plugging it in took about 4-5 hours. Games all play perfectly without issue. The entire game console is a bit smaller than the original arcade games, the screen and sound are great and game play feels just like in an arcade. Total build quality and playability are very high quality. I am 6’2” and no issues seeing and playing all games. So many fond childhood memories are evoked each time I play these games! A must have if you have grandchildren!
