What game does this cabinet play?

It is built around Pac-Mania, the 1987 Pac-Man game with isometric mazes and a jump move. It is aimed at fans of that specific title rather than a broad arcade collection.

How does Pac-Mania differ from original Pac-Man?

Pac-Mania uses angled, isometric mazes and lets Pac-Man jump over ghosts. That makes it faster and more forgiving than the original maze chase.

Is it a full-size arcade cabinet?

No. It is a compact home cabinet in the Arcade1Up style, smaller than a commercial machine. That makes it easier to fit in a room but gives a smaller screen and control panel.

Do I need to assemble it?

Yes, Arcade1Up cabinets ship unassembled and are put together at home. Plan for some build time and a second person to help lift panels.

Can two people play at once?

The cabinet has a single control panel, so play is one player at a time in practice. The panel is cramped for two people standing side by side.

Does it need coins or a subscription?

No. It runs on standard power with no coins and no online subscription, so you just plug it in and play.

Our take on the Arcade1Up Pac-Mania Arcade Mac

The Arcade1Up Pac-Mania Arcade Machine is a home arcade cabinet styled after the 1987 Pac-Mania release, with Pac-Man's isometric maze chase and the jump move that lets him hop over ghosts. It is a compact cabinet aimed at fans of classic arcade games who want a working machine in a game room, den or office rather than a console hooked to a TV. Against other Arcade1Up cabinets it sits in the same family, so the choice comes down to which game library and cabinet styling you want. Owners of Arcade1Up cabinets generally like the look and the assembled feel, while the recurring complaints are the small control panel, the light cabinet and the basic controls compared with a full-size arcade machine.

What reviewers say

Owners of Arcade1Up cabinets tend to praise the retro look and the fun of having a real cabinet at home, and Pac-Mania's jump mechanic gets credit for being more interesting than plain Pac-Man.
