What We Love 👍
Super Responsive Joystick This is a big deal. The joystick on this unit is WAY more responsive than some of the other Arcade1Up machines we've tested. Makes gameplay smoother and more enjoyable — especially for a precision game like Ms. Pac-Man!
Mounting Options Galore This thing is versatile! You can:
- Set it on a table
- Mount it on a bar
- Hang it on a wall (if you've got power nearby)
The wall-mount option is a hit in our house — even the wife approves! 😄
Portability At only 28 lbs, you can easily toss this in the car and bring it to a friend's house for a New Year's party or game night. Try doing that with a full-size cabinet!
Speakers Aimed Right at You The speakers don't need to be cranked up loud because they're positioned to face you directly. Smart design!
Things to Consider 👎
Hard to Find New These units are getting tough to find brand new. If you spot one, grab it! Most are now secondhand — but that's where we come in. 😉
Refurbished Units Available The unit in our video was actually a return that we rebuilt for a customer. It came back virtually brand new — just needed a little TLC to get it running perfectly again.
Pro Tip: How to Return to the Main Menu 💡
On most Arcade1Up machines (including this one):
Hold the Player 1 or Player 2 button for 5 seconds → You'll pop right back to the game selection screen!
The Devil Dawg Verdict 🐕🦺
All in all, a great purchase!
If you're looking for a compact, portable arcade experience with a killer game lineup and responsive controls, the Ms. Pac-Man Partycade is a solid choice. Perfect for game rooms, bars, man caves, or anywhere you want a quick hit of retro fun.
