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

Great fun and reasonable pricing (2024) Assembly is complex but straight forward ( we got two: about 1.2 hrs to assemble the 1st one...45 minutes on #2) Read thru all the directions prior to assembly. Identify all pieces and organize them for assembly. This is a home use only and definately not commercial grade arcade game. As such, you shouldn't be disappointed and you will have many hours of family fun.

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.

Takes a while to put together but its fairly easy. Ms. PacMan and Galaga are by far the best games on the machine. The other games are kind of clunky. Been using for 9 months with no complaints, Lots of fun.

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 a great product for anyone with an 80s classic video nostalgia. It's olny 3/4 size, but compared to the price over a full size old school one this is good enough. My wife and I like playing for too score on most of the games. All 10 games are fun, but we like some better than others (just like anyone else).

Only had a couple days, but am very happy so far. Gameplay is fun and realistic experience to arcade. Kids are loving it. Love the wifi and automatic update uploads. I think the joystick is fine. Size is perfect for my space. Already planning to get Mortal Kombat edition as well.Assembly: I would not say easy, but moderately difficult. Took me two hours working alone. Instructions say Phillips head screwdriver, which is true, but you soon realize several sizes are needed as some screws are very small. I also used a small electric screw driver against the instruction's advice as getting some screws to bite proved difficult. Overall, I would say if you can put together a large IKEA dresser, you should be able to handle this. Instructions are picture only, like IKEA, so look at the pictures carefully while working each step. Not too heavy, my wife and I were able to move easily.Update: Register for the extended warranty (free)! My control board failed after 5 months. Company was responsive and helpful with new board on its way. Comes with 3 month warranty and extended is 6 months...worth it.

I wanted to post pics but my son likes to play it in his underwear lol.Anyway, building it took a while but it wasn't too difficult but time consuming. Set-up was easy, just use the app and scan some QR codes ad you're ready to go.I do wish there was a way to add more games but this still would have blown my mind when I was a kid and the included games run perfectly.Only issues I have are that the joystick ball keeps falling off, I might put some loctite on the threads. The second issue was the plastic film covering the screen. To remove it you will have to remove the bolts one by one and pull the film that is trapped under them. Not a huge deal but I didn't notice until I had built the entire cabinet and that made it a lot more difficult to do this during assembly.

I am 71 years old, and I was able to put this together though it took me about 3-4 hours. I am slow and methodical. Like many reviews the instructions are pictures, and you must look carefully to not mess up. This item comes in one heavy box. The exterior box was beat up but the insides were well packed so there was no damaged. All parts were there plus a spare part bag. The instructions are straight forward as well as pictures can be. Just take your time and place your screws in a small container.
