Arcade1Up Dig Dug Bandai Namco Legacy Edition Arcade with Riser and Light-Up Marquee

I had some doubts after seeing my cameras the fedex person dropping the box on the ground several times. I'm not sure why they weren't using a cart as this box is heavy. Alone it took me about 3 hours taking my time. You will absolutely be building it from nothing. After connecting it to WiFi it had an immediate update which is common for anything these days. Ended up with a complete working Dig Dug with no damage. Luckily it's very well padded.

I was surprised by the quality of the components. This required a fair amount of assembly, but the instructions were straightforward. As soon as setup was done and I connected to Wi-Fi, the machine updated, rebooted, and I was having tons of fun. This is a great addition to my basement rec room!

Everything works and nothing was damaged in shipping. The only complaints: 1) The marquee color is washed out. I added a black electrical tape trim over the washed out grey border that's supposed to be black. Looks way better! 2) The speakers are pretty loud, even at volume 1. I added more black electrical tape over the top of the speakers inside the cabinet and covered the holes with more tape, heh. Of course there are more elegant solutions but it works for me.

easiest cab I have ever put together.looks fanatastic

Great product. At first i was a worried as the arcade was in a million parts. But the instructions were very clear and every part easily went together. Terrific engineering achievement. Games have been fun and it is a great addition to our basement activities.

Arrived on time and well packaged. Great price for this game system, happy it came with the riser. Took my husband about 2 hours to assemble the game cabinet and the riser. Ours arrived in perfect condition. We've tried a couple games so far and think this is a great addition to our game room

The price was excellent at $299. The screen does fade when looked at from side to side, but perfect to play. There is a guy on YouTube who makes this big deal about the light up marquee being faded looking and he fixes it by putting tape behind it. Yes, it is faded a bit, and I even considered putting tape behind it- but it is not that big of a deal to me. I didn't mess with the tape as you have to get the tape perfect to be an improvement. Some people act like these are works of art for museums, if so, you will hate the marquee. If you are buying it to play Pac-Man, Dig Dug and Galaga you will be very pleased. I own 2 other ones and I bought the Atari legacy Tempest. I sent it back because it's controls were terrible. Almost unplayable, that was the only one I have purchased that was bad. This game is decently made. Nice looking and the volcano buttons and fake coin door is kinda neat.

I have 1 main issue with this arcade cabinet. The joystick control is lacking. It's delayed on some games %26 other games are borderline unplayable. Not sure if it's a hardware or software issue. I'm definitely disappointed, but I'm certainly not gonna try to return it. Glad I got it on sale. I think this deserves a 3.5 rating, but it won't let me do half a star. Other than my 1 main issue, I'd rate this at a 4.5 - 5. I put it together by myself without too much trouble. (I usually get impatient %26 tools start to fly) Just don't be in a rush, like I usually am. Others have mentioned issues with the LCD video screen %26 light up marquee. I have no problem with either one. Yes, LCD isn't the top tech anymore but it's cheaper, %26 lowers the price point. My light up marquee doesn't seem washed out or faded to me. If it did, it would give it a vintage vibe. A purist or hardcore collector would probably have a lot of issues with this cabinet. I'm just a guy born in 1975 wanting to relive some of my youth through some of my favorite games I put many quarters in as a kid.

It was fun for 6 weeks until the circuit board fried during a gathering. I bought the "Award Winning" All State Protection plan at time of purchase. I've contacted them several times with no results. Max frustration, max waste of time. Minimum customer service, minimum fun. I'd love to hear back from Allstate's extended warranty, Walmart, or Arcade 1up. If that happens, I'll edit this review. In the meantime, look up Doc and Pies. They're a better option.

This is a very low quality product. The marquee is dull and washed out. Unfortunately, so is the screen. Unless you are looking dead on from center, the monitor completely washes out. Thankfully this doesn't affect playing, but it does make the cabinet and eyesore.
