What do you think of the Arcade1up Class of 1981 Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga Combo cabinet? Let me know below!

PDubs is a natural salesman. This guy can hit anyone with FOMO. If I already didn't have the Pac-Man partycade I'd be buying this too.

I just ordered this on best buy today to pick up tomorrow damn can't wait to play it and relive my youth 😎👍🏽👍🏽

It'd be a great first cab. Wi-fi the killer app; very glad A1up's listened to fans on that request & hope to see it on all cabs moving forward. Another great review 'Dubs.

Loving the 81 despite it's issues, the game library plus wifi makes this one addictive...Great review Pdubbs!

It’s a beautiful cab! I am partial to my Pac Man Cabaret!! Those Galaxian sounds are like a flux capacitor firing up my time machine!! Awesome video!! Subscribed!!

I just purchased this last night from Target for $500 w free shipping. Got the NAMCO Pac Man cab last Father's Day as a gift from my wife- (yes, she's awesome!) I shortly after bought the Tempest cab, which I adore, and have been considering Ms Pac Man for a while, as I love it more than standard Pac Man. After some thought, youtube reviews and pricing, I went with this one. Great games, cab looks amazing and 1981 was a good year to be a kid for me! Thanks and can't wait for it to arrive!

I think I will jump on it. It was between Class of 81, T2, or Simpsons next…

I was really thinking of using that coupon I got to get this one for real. Still deciding about it and thanks for doing the review. You know me I only buy what I would play snd this one I probably would. Thanks again and we Appreciate your reviews.

This was a great video Dubs, one of my favourite you have done so far and i love your new Camera!

This was on black friday sale on the shopping channel (Canada), so I ordered it :)

This cab is a win in my opinion. Hoping the price will drop a little more and I'll replace my gen 1 Galaga with it. Great review!

It's funny, on other cabs, I thought there were way too man Pac-Man games, but on this one, I kinda wish there were at least one more, specifically Super Pac-Man. This is my only dedicated 4-way joystick cab. In a perfect world, this would have Ms. Pac-Man/Super Pac/Pac-Man, Galaga/Galaga 88/Gaplus, and then 6 other games. But I'm really glad there is a true variety of games to play on this machine. For someone who buys this as their only cab, they can mix it up nicely.

I'm going to get the Galaga 40th Anniversary Partycade when it's back in stock on Arcade 1UP

Picked it up on sale for $449 at Kohl's plus they added in $90 of Kohl's cash to spend. The next day the Pac Man Legacy cabinet went on sale for $349, so I got lucky that the Class of 81 sale came first as it's a lot nicer cabinet.

Nice review. Never cared for Tower of Druaga or King and Balloon, but it's still a strong lineup. Rolling Thunder is an underrated game.

Honestly, I think that this game is no longer Class of 1981. It's now Class of 1980s.

I mentioned in 3rd Floors review that I'd like to see this in a cocktail cab form. Imo it'd look better being split art. Being born in 81 I kinda want this just cause. But holding out for the cocktail tho. To quote Judge Smails your review was Top Notch! Top Notch!

Awesome review! Plus I like seeing my name on the Galaga top 25! 🤪

Is there anyway to just keep things “in house” so to speak and have only your family and friends show up on the leaderboards without having to use Wi-Fi?

Great review PDubs! I’m a big fan of this cabinet too. And the light up marquee on mine arrived with damage also. I agree it’s the worst quality marquee A1UP has done so far.

PDubs, You know what's crazy? Arcade1up's Partycades are proving to be a much better value than their 3/4 Scales this year. I got the Ms. Pac-Man, and seriously considering getting the Galaga. If I got both, that's 20 games with only a couple duplicates across, definitely more than a Class of 81 or my Namco Legacy. Same great controls and same great monitors for around $400. And as I peeped before, THAT GORGEOUS light up marquee, THE BEST looking one Arcade1up has ever produced! You can even snag your fav, Super Pac-Man, and get the booties back in a smaller form factor :) The washed out marquee aside though, I'm glad you're liking the Class of 81 :) Oh, and I'll take Rolling Thunder over an unlockable Pac-Man any day :) vgv

Just ordered for $449 USD after waiting a long time for a reasonable sale price. This will replace the older Ms. Pac-Man cabinet in the arcade - similar to what you did. I will probably get a replacement slip-on Marquee from Szabo’s - very cool option. Thanks PDubs!

It looks awesome but after seeing the full-size Class of 81 and it’s big beautiful CRT I’m holding out for one of those…

Mine had bad speaker/speaker cable and marquee issue - but I got it for 449 at kohls, now if I had paid 599….I would be upset. Arcade 1up needs to be consistent….I mean the marquees on the QVC partycade s are awesome!

That’s so annoying they didn’t include the Pac-Man unlock. The whole reason I wanted this machine because it’s the only one to include both Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man. They always keep em separate cause they know people’ll buy a another machine just for Ms. Pac-Man.

Ms Paxman was forgotten

I need this to go on sale so I can buy this it’ll be my first Cab

I wish rolling thunder was a vertical game. Main reason I wanted this cab but it looks bad cut off much like Bad Dudes

LOVE your review! I'm thoroughly enjoying my Mrs. Pacman/Galaga cabinet. Question- in regards to the leaderboard can I play someone online live? I just see the leaderboard and scores. I was hoping to play someone since I'm the only pacman lover in the house

At these prices A1up needs to include decent joysticks at least. We should not have to spend extra money to improve their joysticks and buttons.

Thanks for the review. What was the size of the monitor of the sole Ms Pacman and recent reskinned Galaga?

Great Review! That was a nail biter at 4:41 for sure!

Great review video p dubs it’s the same old story with arcade 1 up horrible buttons joysticks I strongly believe they will never upgrade them because they want us to constantly by the next cab

no way...I missed this. It does have the Options to change Ms. Pac-Man to Fast Mod? that's been what I've been waiting for. How do you get the menu to change the options? guess I'll find out if I get it.

sharpie the top of the marquee

I would prefer more full sized cabinets of the classics even though this one does look nice but even when the actual class of '81 arcade came out I wasn't impressed by it back than. Guess that's what happens after you own a pool hall and arcade store.

I find it strange how this is the same price as the Big Blue when it has the same form factor as the previous Pac-Man cabs and it doesn't include a molded coin door or a stool. It honestly should've been the same price as the Namco Legacy ($450 USD) or max price at $500 USD when the only difference from the Namco Legacy aside from the games is the light up deck and leaderboards.

Fully agree, new marquees look like crap. My Turtles in Time is the worst of all 8 cabinets I own. I don't understand what happened...

Mine didn’t work. I ordered 2. 1st one didn’t work, Sent it back, Ordered another one, It didn’t work Incredible!

Nice ! Love mine and yes the marquee could be better but It doesn’t bother me . The games are great 👍

If you want to change the buttons, do you have to do anything elaborate or is it as simple as replacing each button and plugging them back in? Thanks for the video.

Can someone please tell me. Do these cabinets store high scores such as you can with emulators, or is it like the old skool cabinets where it wipes itself when you turn the power off? I am starting to look at 1Up now they are producing the deluxe cabinets with no riser, the thought of a more adult cabinet especially with that artwork is a turn on for me.

That’s a little disappointing they didn’t use the actual Class of 81 rom and decided to keep them as separate games.

Paying $100-$200 extra for live vs the other form factors isn't a seller, but if the other versions sell out of stock, sure the pacman Galaga combo cabs are neat items. This is pretty far back on my list in terms of styling.

What kind of monitor does this use? Boe? Or something else. Thx in adv

Can you change the ms pac man to the hyper speed mode like the original class of 81 split in the arcade?

12 vertical games? What about Rolling Thunder?

Did it arrive with that scratch or dent at 0:10 under the Ms. PAC logo? Any minor cosmetic issues with the cabinet?

Dubs, it's Mizz Pac-man, not Miss Pac-man.

I want the speedy version

The problem is most people already have a mix of these games on other cabs. You just bought the galaga countercade.. so now you own galaga, galaga 88, and galaxian for the 30th time...

600? Better off getting atgames ultimate legends. It's same price but can put like 10,000 games on it

Basically, Arcade 1up needs to stop playing around…give us what we want…Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man and Pac-Man all on the same machine, with Wifi, with ability for fast Ms. Pac-Man and fast Galaga….all in a countercade option…they obviously have the technology…let the buyer choose the games they want loaded onto the unit and also let us choose the size cabinet…and marquee…and screen options…geesh…charge for each upgrade if necessary…why does everything have to be one or the other…there are a lot of cool options on this ‘81 cabinet (but why no pac-man) I would buy it if this exact unit came in the countercade size…with pac-man…and pac-man is one of my least favorite games but to exclude it just feels like a scam.

Are they done with Pacman yet? Is there anymore milk left? Again, overpriced for what you get. The only new real option here is leaderboards. Are they with thus price?

Anyone else notice extremely bad input lag?

What is cool is you play against online players.

Sorry, I own three Arcade 1UP machines and this is the worst one I've ever bought and really the only one I've been disappointed in. The control input is extremely laggy and even after a replacement joystick from Arcade 1UP it's still not working. And yes, it's fully up to date. They keep closing my support tickets and telling me that the devs are aware of the issue but don't have an ETR. It's not an issue with the controller, it's the speed of the emulation. And I don't know what they're going to do to fix it. It makes twitch games where fast reaction time is a must almost impossible to play. You can see a visible lag between me moving the stick and the character moving on screen. Fast play Ms. Pac Man is impossible to play with this control input delay and Galaga is very difficult. Very disappointed and I do not recommend buying this machine unless you try it first and are okay with the speed of the input. I have played these games all through my childhood in the arcade so I know how fast the controls should respond, and this machine does not do it right. I feel like without a fix for this lag I kind of got ripped off. I'm glad other people are happy with theirs but it's virtually unplayable for me - maybe there's something going on with my particular cabinet. A few other people on reddit have reported the same issue, but others either don't have it or don't notice it. Good selection of games but it's very difficult to play with the input lag. 4/10.

You spent too much.
