Review: Retro Fun - Pricy, but that's partly because I live in Canada. Over $800 Canadian Dollars! But worth it for me to reexperience my younger years. I've played a lot of versions of Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man over the years but this is the first one that 'feels' like the original game, the way I remember it. Another old favourite is Galaga, also included here, and the same thing--exactly as I remember playing it. There's a Galaga 88 which I had never played before, good alternate version of the same game. As well as Galaxian, the original version of both (kinda like a more modern version of Space Invaders). Dig Dug is another game I remember from my youth, worth playing again. The other included games I haven't played too much yet, but I'm sure I'll get into them eventually. The machine itself was a little challenging to put together. It took me most of the day to assemble it, all by myself, but building things has never been one of my strong points. The fact that I did it all by myself, it looks correct and stands up by itself is good enough for me. If you're the least bit handy it should be no problem at all. It's very obviously a strong, sturdy, good quality product, which it should be for the money I paid. Review: Hours of retro endless fun - I purchased this as a gift for a friend. We use this all of the time. It is a true recreation of the originals. Controls are solid as well as build quality. The only issue, that I believe can be fixed in software is the volume control. The first volume level is loud. Overall it is hours of fun and easy to assemble You can't go wrong if you have a retro gamer in mind. ## Features - Join the legacy: Library of 12 iconic games, including Dig Dug, Galaga, Galaxian, Rompers, PAC-Mania, Mappy, and more! - Authentic gaming at its finest: Relive the golden era of arcade gaming with original licensed artwork, real-feel joysticks and buttons, light up marquee, and a molded faux coin door. - Enjoy Wi-Fi enabled gaming and unlimited free play: Compete with friends, post scores to leaderboards and download the Companion App to join a community of gamers across the country. - Enjoy Wi-Fi enabled gaming and unlimited free play: Compete with friends, post scores to leaderboards & download Companion App to join a community of gamers - 21st century technology brings retro games to life: Powerful processors deliver crisp graphics on 17"full color hi-res LCD screen; enjoy arcade-quality sound w/ integrated dual speakers. - Built to be part of your collection: Enjoy the nostalgia of classic arcade games in your home, Assembled Dimensions: 22.44” D x 18.82” W x 61”H; Weight: 68 lbs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BYQ7S68P | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Battery Description | No batteries required | | Best Sellers Rank | #106,348 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #208 in Plug & Play Video Games | | Brand | ARCADE1UP | | Brand Name | ARCADE1UP | | Color | Blue | | Colour | Blue | | Controller Type | Joystick | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 506 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Play | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00195570019726 | | Hardware Interface | Lightning | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 47.8 x 57 x 154.9 centimeters | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 47.8L x 57W x 154.9H centimeters | | Item Type Name | arcade games | | Item Weight | 36.74 kg | | Manufacturer | Arcade1Up | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 720.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 84.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | MSP-A-303611 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | MSP-A-303611 | | Number of Players | 1 | | Number of players | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Platform | Not Machine Specific | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product dimensions | 47.8L x 57W x 154.9H centimeters | | Screen Size | 17 Inches | | Set Name | Arcade1Up Class of '81 Deluxe Arcade Machine (12 Games) | | Size | 22.44” D x 18.82” W x 61”H | | Subject Character | n.a. | | Theme | Retro Games | | UPC | 195570019726 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Colour:** Blue - **Brand:** ARCADE1UP - **Theme:** Retro Games - **Number of players:** 1 - **Product dimensions:** 47.8L x 57W x 154.9H centimeters ## Images ![Arcade1Up Class of '81 Deluxe Arcade Machine for Home - 5 Feet Tall - 12 Classic Games - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xlCkAOngL.jpg) ![Arcade1Up Class of '81 Deluxe Arcade Machine for Home - 5 Feet Tall - 12 Classic Games - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NmtQcdfoL.jpg) ![Arcade1Up Class of '81 Deluxe Arcade Machine for Home - 5 Feet Tall - 12 Classic Games - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81T9OIaQmQL.jpg) ![Arcade1Up Class of '81 Deluxe Arcade Machine for Home - 5 Feet Tall - 12 Classic Games - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PWEuyt9LL.jpg) ![Arcade1Up Class of '81 Deluxe Arcade Machine for Home - 5 Feet Tall - 12 Classic Games - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wB7EnCxGL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this machine accept quarters? I would like to purchase and use it in my bar but it needs to be able to accept money.** A: No The coin slot is fake. Can’t put in coins **Q: I can't put things together. I'm 72 years old. Does this come completely put together?** A: Does not come together. It took about 2 hours to assemble. It was my second one assembling. I think it takes some effort to put together. **Q: Can the volume be adjusted?** A: Yes, volume is adjusted very easily with a button right on the control panel. FYI, overall, this is a great machine! It did take longer to put together than a previous reviewer indicated -- it took me and my husband 3.25 hours to complete it, but once together, it feels very sturdy! **Q: Does it come with Ms Pac Man Turbo or just the regular slow one?** A: Hi. Just regular ms Pac man. We love this! Play it everyday. Takes quite a lot of time to assemble. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Retro Fun *by M***L on 3 December 2025* Pricy, but that's partly because I live in Canada. Over $800 Canadian Dollars!
