Thanks for the great review Bill. Looking for something fun to add to my sister's 80's themed bday party, this seems like the perfect gift! We loved playing Mappy, centerpede, smash tv together.
I found this for just $80 locally near me on a marketplace app. Totally in love with Super Pac Man partycade. I originally only wanted it to play the original Pac-Man which is included, but found myself finding a new love for 'Super Pac Man' the marquee title which I had never played before. Discovered a new classic, it plays just like Pac-Man but gives you more to do with these objectives of finding the keys and new abilities. Tons of fun!
Agreed! Super Pac-Man is one of my favorites. Sounds like you found it for a sweet deal - Congrats!!
Thanks for a good review. I bought this one to go with my Ms. Pacman partycade. I chose it over the standard Pacman to have matching lighted marquees. It's a great looking machine, and still gives me Pacman, so it's a great match with the Ms. The partycades are wonderful, but $150 is probably the price point for them. (I paid $125 for Super and $150 for Ms.)
One little tip:
We made a "Pacman Party Table" by mounting our two units back-to-back with the included legs. Even more steady than just one! Found a steady table at the thrift store for about $8 and painted it yellow and gave it some LEDs.
Hey Bill, nice review. I always wanted the Costco Arcade 1up Super Pac-Man 3/4 cabinet but missed it. When HSN discounted this partycade, I just knew it had to be mine. Love the artwork and light up marquee (which does look much better from a distance) and most of the games are winners. Wish it had all unique games from the 10-in-1 Ms. Pac-Man (instead it shares four games - I especially don't need a repeat of Rompers on more than one cabinet). As you brought up, it makes no sense that you can't use the left side button on some of the games. Funny that the Costco 3/4 cabinet had a button issue but it had a reversed button layout for Galaga and Galaxian (and was fixed with a firmware update). Still a great cabinet for the price and really love this form factor. Thanks again for the review!
Nice review… It helped me realize that a few of the games are in portrait mode so you get big black bars on the top and bottom which is unfortunate. Also as you probably realized if you’ve ever tried to mount it on a door that it is somehow designed to be mounted extraordinarily low and there is very little adjustment to make it higher… not that big of a deal because I doubt very many people want to mount it on the door anyway. Great video keep up the good work !
Great video! Buying these 3/4 scale arcade cabs is excellent for building a home arcade. I made my room an arcade.
Hey Bill, really great review! I liked your layout and explanation. Showed a little bit of each game and its features.....everything you want in a review. Looking forward to more reviews in the future!
Thanks Nick - as always I truly appreciate the support!!
I have the same one and I love it. I am bummed about the gun sound being so low in rolling thunder though. It was the reason I bought the cab
I bought this off of EBay. I paid 249 for it. I do agree with the buttons. I like to play with my right hand on the joystick and I can't do that with most of the games. I think it is a good cabinet and just recently put it up on my wall instead of the kitchen table. They should have the same layout of buttons on the left as they do on the right. Outside of that I think it is a very good machine.
I was glad to get this particular partycade of Super Pac-Man. Unlike the original Super Pac-Man arcade first Gen model, this partycade has three more games than the previous cabinet and I can play Super Pac-Man in this cabinet with the button setup just like the original arcade version. This machine is great but I only wish that it had Galaxian, Galaga and Galaga '88 or Pac-Man Plus instead of Mappy, Rolling Thunder and Rompers but it is fantastic nonetheless.
This is an awesome arcade machine. I have several of these and love them.
I have the super pac man countercade, it’s very similar to this one. In fact, looks just like it. I think I got mine for $100 and has the same games I believe 🙌 except rolling thunder. Great cab! I also have the ms pac man partycade as of last week and love it 😊 great review
Bro share the link please I am looking for the same version as yours
Bill, The version of Pac-Land here *DOES HAVE* Ms.Pac-man, thats how she look in the hanna barbera cartoon.
Could be. I was going off of footage I'd seen of the original version of pac-land compared to recent releases. I guess the coloring threw me as I thought in the original arcade her bow was red, not pink. But if that's the case, then I stand corrected!
@@BillsRetroGamingShow No.. in the japanese version she has a red bow IN the american version she has a pink bow and hair
@@BillsRetroGamingShow Heres a comparason: ua-cam.com/video/YI-1_sf7H40/v-deo.html
@@theluisman250 Very cool. Thanks for the update!!!
Honest opinion: ITS PERFECT (super pac-man is one of my personal favorites and this looks soo cool plus its cheaper than the 3/4 sized cabinets)
Cool I have that exact same one
It’s perfect but has one fatal flaw, no Galaga..
Agreed. But there is a Galaga partycade that has some great games on it. If I find it at a decent price I'll probably pick that up as well.
thanks for playing rolling thunder. the black bars are kind of ehh but it looks like a good time. Cant wait for my super pacman to arrive
Great Review! I have this partycade and it's pretty cool! Are you going to get the matching barstool?
Only if I find a good deal. I refuse to pay 90 for a stool lol. I have a few but i paid 50 or less for them. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
Just get it for 95$🕹️😁
Holy trackballs!
Where'd you score that deal!?
At that price, I would have bought 3 or 4
Does anyone know if there is a way to turn off the light up marquee? It makes it really annoying to play in a dark room.
There isn't a built in way to do it. Your options would be a) open up the back and unplug the wire coming from the marquee to the pcb or b) splice in a switch between the pcb and the marquee so you can turn it off or on as you like. The first options pretty simple if you always want it off. But if you want the option to turn it off and on you'll have to know a little about modding and wiring to add a switch. It's not my expertise so not something I can help you with. But I think those would be the options.
Hi bill. Just picked one and loving PAC Man. lol. One thing I can’t figure out is how to get back to the main screen from a game in play or ended game. Very puzzling. So far I am shutting it off then back on. Any help and thanks in advance.
Hold the player 1 button for 5 seconds. That will return you to the main menu.
@@BillsRetroGamingShow Thanks for sharing. I’ll try that tomorrow. Happy new year too. I hope I hit the thumbs button up.
Pacland is based off a cartoon look at the designs and jr pacman was never in pac land and the cartoon versions are used on orginal cabinet thats the orginal rom
Can you adjust volume?
Yes
Informative review, thanks for sharing! Just picked it up from ShopTamFam for $79 out the door 😳 subbed and looking forward to more content.
Thank you!
This is where I leave your post, I thought you were going to play super pacman only ,,,, see ya
Can you save the high scores in pac-man with Initials ?
No. It's exactly like the original arcade where it only saves 1 high score at a time and if you beat that it just replaces the old score with the new one.
@@BillsRetroGamingShow Thanks for your answer, I wasn't sure if the original arcade machine had a highscore list.

Too much tuna
Bro you purchase at a discounted price, deal with it. These partycades aren’t that bad. Terrible & boring review
