Great choice!! I think that Pacman is the most recognisable of all arcade game characters and this cabinet is P E R F E C T!!! I actually played this as a teenager when it was just launched! You can probably guess my 'vintage'! Haha! Nicely done Arcade1up! Nostalgia in truck-loads! Mine is coming tomorrow - 23rd Dec 2022!! Yay! Pressie from my wife, an ardent Pacmania fan! I hope that I get a few plays on this! Hope it is giving you tons of pleasure a year on!
The artwork is what sold me. As far as I can see its 100% accurate to the original cabinet. Expecting mine this week. As far as the riser, I would have preferred all yellow, but when you look at it while Pacman is on its demo screen, it looks fantastic. Its a great matchup.
You’re gonna love it. I’m in 2 minds with the risers, I do like the ones that continue the theme of the cabinet like the Atari Legacy but I also like the contrast of them like with Pac-Man here. I would say the generic riser that’s on my MK one is my least favourite
@@CHQArcade Nice, thanks for the reply. Im excited to get it. Now I just have to get the courage to swap out the joystick. Im sure the one that comes with it will do for awhile but nothing like Sanwa sticks.
@@JTCT371 I must say I’ve never really noticed anything wrong with the sticks and buttons but over the weekend I spent about an hour playing MvC2 with a friend using my Legends Gamer Pro as the control deck, after that we had a quick game of TMNT and I realised the dip in quality on those buttons
@@CHQArcade I have an Arcade 1up Ms. PacMan countercade for well over a year now, and even though the joystick can be better, Im still able to obtain High scores....I beat the heck out of the thing. Lol...
Congratulations on finally getting your Pac-man cabinet! I don't understand why they bothered with that wacked filtering routine. I turn that off before I even start a game for the first time. I was going to go for the new Dig Dug cabinet, until I found out it has the TN monitor instead of the nice BOE monitor which is in your cabinet. So, to get Dig Dug in a cabinet, I'll have to get another Pac-Man (Namco Legacy) cabinet. Thanks for the review.
Thanks man, appreciate it. Yea the TN monitors on the new cabs are a big hit punch. Certainly putting a good number of people off picking up the new ones.
@@CHQArcade Indeed. I fear it'll damage Arcade1up's reputation, irreparably, and we could loose future cabinets, forever, even if they do come doe their senses, and halt the use of TNs.
I was really tempted by the original but held off as I really wanted Galaga on a machine. Glad I did, the games play so well on this. When it comes to more getting released and having to get rid of some I'm not sure what I'll end up doing
I'm up to eleven A1Up cabs now. Between cabinet design and game line-up, I think the Pac-Man Legacy is their best release so far.
11? Damn I wish I had the room. I reckon if I clear out I could make room for 2, maybe 3 more plus 1 Pinball table.
@@CHQArcade after my first three cabs, I thought the same thing. But where there is a will, there is a way lol.

Oh yea, still loving it. The game selection on this cab is just top notch

I’m need this one. I have the Generation 1 Pac Man. Having a hard time wanting to get rid of it. But this looks good!
