My Marvel cab has the spring and the action is reversed. Thought it was shipped broken until I tried turning it off and it turned on. Not too big a deal just odd
Thanks again Fox for the Mortal Kombat screen Mod tutorial. Don’t know how I got so lucky but scored the monitor off eBay brand new for 50 bucks shipped - Well worth it!
@19kFox Thanks for the review! I just received my Dig Dug legacy cab and I can say the same about that monitor and marquee. Outside of that this cabinet is fantastic and plays well with a great game selection.. I hope your next video with the monitor swap is thorough with the instructions. I've never modded anything to that level of a screen swap before, so more detailed steps would be appreciate if so. Thanks in advance, love your channel!
Well, I just got Dig Dug in recently, and it does have the TN monitor, but I have to say, for whatever reason, the 16:9, vertically oriented TNs at least look a little better than the 5:4 landscape TN in the Centipede Legacy cab. So, I wnt ahead and ordered the Pacmania cab when it went on sale for 300 at Bestbuy. I did come back and finished watching this video. Not sure that Dell monitor will work with this particular cabinet. You may have to consider purchasing a 16:9 BOE from A1up to replace the existing TN with, unless you can find the 16:9 Dell variant. Again, thanks.
Ive had my 2 arcade1up cabinets for a year and I'm only now learning that the plastic cover that you put over the control panel has a protective piece of plastic and that's why it looked bad
Just got this on sale at best buy for $399. It is vlcurrently still on sale there as of 8/3/23. 2 other cabs on sale, too. Street Fighter Hadouken and MK3 Legacy, I think? Idk, I was in the market for a Pac-Man Cab, lol...
I ended up with this cab because I love the artwork as compared to other Pac-Man variants, but good god is the screen trash. I had an old gen 1 street fighter that I was planning to get rid of and did the monitor transplant, and that mostly fixes it, but again, god damn.
19kfox, Awesome review! Yeah, seeing the dots turn red and the ghosts discolor in Pac-Man on that horrible monitor is a no go for me. I already have that bad quality on the countercades I stupidly kept buying. I would've LOVED to have the extra games Pac-Mania comes with, Rolling Thunder and that sweet Galaga 88', but I'm kinda done with eyesore monitors in my home arcade. Glad I was able to get the Pac-Man Legacy 12 in 1. Great monitors do make a difference :) Savin' me money Fox! vgv
Assembled mine today and two minutes in it froze up. I powered off and then back on and only the riser lights up. Otherwise the screen stays black (not even lit up) and no sound. Unplugged and replugged in everything and nothing is working. Any thoughts?
Still thinking over maybe getting the Joust cabinet for Shits... I'd probably just play Joust and Tubing thou still using my Midway Legacy Mortal Kombat cabinet as a Nintendo Switch cabinet with a mini fridge
19K being critical of A1Up and releasing a negative review? But Rexxer says you’re a shill who can’t be trusted. Guess he’s just exaggerating for views. Who woulda thought.
I'm sorry. I had to stop the video when you showed that horrific TN monitor. What are A1up thinking!? Such a gorgeous looking cabinet, and they just HAD to go and biff the deal with that monitor. Just took that one off my want list. Geez. Thanks for the review.
Its s shame this one using the same monitor as the MK30th. Believe or not, I haven't gotten a Pacman cab yet lol. May just got with the Class of 81 or the new Ms Pacman Legacy Edition, which does have a BOE monitor
A major disappointment for three reasons: 1) The TN monitor is horrible because the games look faded and it has poor sound quality; 2) The joystick is not that good nor the buttons; 3) It doesn't have the star quality to make it memorable like Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man. Pac-Mania is good as a supporting game but not on its own.
I don't love the spring on/off buttons, there's something about a hard click that makes me feel like my arcade is going to last longer
Why do some spring and some click LOL?
My Marvel cab has the spring and the action is reversed. Thought it was shipped broken until I tried turning it off and it turned on. Not too big a deal just odd
Great tip on the plastic washers. That's what I need for my cab👍
Thanks again Fox for the Mortal Kombat screen Mod tutorial. Don’t know how I got so lucky but scored the monitor off eBay brand new for 50 bucks shipped - Well worth it!
You've got balls. I would never take a drill to a cabinet. I'm too paranoid. LOL
🦊👊🏼
Excellent review as always!! Thanks so much!
@19kFox Thanks for the review! I just received my Dig Dug legacy cab and I can say the same about that monitor and marquee.

I've never modded anything to that level of a screen swap before, so more detailed steps would be appreciate if so. Thanks in advance, love your channel!
Yeah, I hope it is a very detailed video. Would consider doing it for the Dig Dug variant!
Looks pretty good Fox! Cant wait to see it with that new screen. It might be time to do an updated arcade tour.
Terrific review 👍
Great review as always. Shame they went with that monitor. Looking forward to the next video!
I'm going to wait for the inevitable next new Pacman release. Definitely want the online leaderboards, BOE, and regular Pacman art
It's a nice looking cab for sure 👌 , to bad for the monitor tho. Great job on the review
Great content. Quick question please. How long did it take you to assemble? Many thanks! 🤝
Great review as always battle, would recommend change out TN monitor for BOE? Is it that bad?
I think I know what I want for my birthday next year
Great review! This cab….NO. But, Double Dragon cab….YES! Go Double Dragon!! 🐉🐉🐉
Just bought the pac-mania for 330 cad, hope that’s a good deal.
I'm thinking too buy it it's 299 right now at Walmart
I just got 2nd invoice for countercades. I only have room for one 3/4 arcade (mvc2) or 3 2player countercades $90 each which would you go with?

Don’t worry, many people have made that mistake.

should’ve waited man
just got it for 299.99 as of 12/04/2023
Yet another cabinet where smoothing is an option but scanlines don't appear to be configurable. So random.
I ended up with this cab because I love the artwork as compared to other Pac-Man variants, but good god is the screen trash. I had an old gen 1 street fighter that I was planning to get rid of and did the monitor transplant, and that mostly fixes it, but again, god damn.

What's your top 3 favorite Arcade1up cabinets?
I thought the pacman characters light up on side of the screen and the cab ? I seen another video where it did
Assembled mine today and two minutes in it froze up. I powered off and then back on and only the riser lights up. Otherwise the screen stays black (not even lit up) and no sound. Unplugged and replugged in everything and nothing is working. Any thoughts?
If everything functioned as normal for two minutes then I suspect a bad PCB. Contact Arcade1up for support, they’ll should send out a replacement.
Still thinking over maybe getting the Joust cabinet for Shits... I'd probably just play Joust and Tubing thou still using my Midway Legacy Mortal Kombat cabinet as a Nintendo Switch cabinet with a mini fridge
I bought the new Miss Pac-Man legacy because it fixes all the problems that this one has plus I like Ms. Pac-Man better so it’s a double win.
I did the same!
I was considering buying this but I maybe better off buying the older Namco Legacy
Great review wish we could have gotten a BOE, now it’s making me just want to go back and get the legacy 12-1
Cool game
A licky boom boom down

He’s a real one I’ve always liked fox

The marquee and monitor is a bummer. I really wanted this on but might pass for Ms Pac Man
I stopped buying the Pac-Man machines once I bought the 60 in one for my miss Pac-Man.
How many different ways do they think I need to play Pacman? This is getting ridiculous.
No offense Fox but your background music is as bad as that TN monitor:/

That screen is ABSOLUTE trash....damn thats a shame!
