Arcade1Up Ms Pac Man Countercade Review!

In today's video we're going to take a look at version two of Arcade1Up specifically Ms.

Pac-Man 4 in 1 and we're going to find out if it's worth your hard-earned money. Going up right after this. the packaging is the same style of open face display box that we have already seen before in previous versions for counter kids, there is a styrofoam insert on the bottom and top of the machine to keep it snug inside the retail box and there is a large protective bubble wrap covering the front half of the machine to prevent damage to both the controls and the screen itself now this is the newly redesigned version 2.0 of countercade in which the proportions of the game room itself have been reduced while keeping the same screen size and full-size controls as before, this new machine measures 15.78 inches high, 9.57 inches wide and 11.42 inches deep, the price of Retail sale has also dropped, and now ranges from $ 99 to $ 149, depending on the retailer and the gaming lineups previously these machines. it was $ 199 retail for most outlets, this particular machine comes with four games built into our main game ms pac-man, of course pac-man plus ga laga and dig dug two, this version This four-in-one cabinet is adorned with a bright yellow trim along the side and control panels as well as the top of the canopy, which is a subtle visual difference from the two-in-one version of the miss machine. pac-man currently sold online that comes with a pink border and action button minus talking about buttons, we have the same full-size arcade buttons we've already seen and look forward to on most arcade 1up products until the date that are more than adequate to get the job done when playing galaga or dig dug 2, the joystick, however, appears to be different than other joysticks used in most 1up arcade cabinets that have an all-white base and restrictive plate diamond shaped pressed together and while this 4-way setup joystick is responsive and works well enough, most high score chasers and pac-man enthusiasts pu Eden wanting to replace this stick with a higher quality one of your choice on the back of the control deck is the volume adjustment knob that gradually increases and decreases the cabinet volume levels coming out of the single speaker located in the lower corner front of this machine and although there is only one speaker here, I can assure you that this machine still has quite a bit of Noisy across all four titles, it is exactly as expected and there are no new menu settings or game speed settings available to the user, so if you are looking for or waiting for an acceleration option for miss pac-man, you will not find it. Here high scores are recorded and maintained across all included games and this feature also works even after the machine is unplugged so you don't worry about losing your home's highest scores on top of this game room, we have marquee without original bally midway branding this marquee is not illuminated and currently at the time of this video there are no options available for a third party lighted marquee, but like the previous counters i am sure it won't take long to for these companies to bid for a smaller lighted tent to fit these new machines, the side panels are in the classic pink blue and the artwork yellow miss pac-man art that looks absolutely amazing in any environment, the monitor bezel looks nice and clean with the artwork, all the little instructions and graphics are clearly visible and easy to read on the 8 inch lcd screen inches here does a good job of displaying colors accurately without noticeable light bleed along the sides, however, viewing angles are a bit rough at this screen because as soon as you move your eyes off the center in any way or to me you will start to see the colors on the screen start to fade immediately though this is just an observation as when you are honestly playing with this machine as is designed, it won't be a problem for you in a nutshell, these are great gaming options for those of you who have space limitations or are looking to save some extra money from larger game investments 1up Cabinet Deals I really just I found a downside with this new smaller design for adult gamers, your left hand may inadvertently break on Player 1 and Player 2 home buttons during gameplay with the nature of the smaller control pad, space available resting your hand is quite limited and personally I found myself in more than one instance inadvertently rebooting my game active because of this, so at the end of the day I'm a fan of this new smaller sleeker version two vs kids now the original version one fall back, I thought it was a little too big in terms of its ratio compared to the screen, this still keeps that 8 inch lcd screen, however it doesn't look dwarfed in comparison because it doesn't have a hulking bezel around it, the 149 or 99 depending on how many games you get I think it is much more digestible than the retail price of 200 that the originals had obviously the best thing about this is 150 is too expensive for you, you can still save a little money, you can go two in a route and get around a hundred bucks depending on you knowing how early you got to the qvc offer, however you know these are big little ones The quality of the machines is good, uh, the screen, like I said, has some issues with washing and display. angles, but if you're playing it straight that's not going to be a problem, but if you have people standing on your shoulder trying to watch you play, they're not going to have a very good view, but other than that, the only complaint I had is that every time I take this I naturally want to reach out the back and put my hand on a handle that doesn't exist so that's something I really wish I had this is some kind of cut here or a handle of transport as the box itself has two handles on the sides, we have no handles on the sides, which I'm fine with because I don't want to spoil this graphic, but a handle on the back of this every time you move, it would be convenient to say the least convenient, that's all I'm looking for for convenience, regardless, I think it's a nice little machine and I think it will definitely be something that will work for you if you are concerned. space issues and filling a whole basement full of arcade cabinets and if you don't want to do that, this is definitely the option for you.
