The one A1UP I do own is disassembled and in the garage in a box. I bought it and swapped out all of the controls, bought a riser, got a video board to add HDMI in and converted it to a multicade. When Atgames came out with their Legends Ultimate I bought one of those and added a $20 USB stick and I have a multicade with thousands of games. The monitor is larger than the Arcade1UP's, the AtGames controls Aren't the greatest in the world but are high enough quality to not need to be replaced! The sound is superior to Arcade1up's and just overall a better experience.

Lo and behold, AtGames itself ended up buying that royalty interest, meaning that, going forward, if Bandai Namco released anything with Ms. Pac-Man (or Baby Pac) in it, it would owe residuals to AtGames, the people they were now suing. (Note: These rights are to be paid whenever the work is used; Bandai Namco still has full ownership and control of Ms. Pac-Man as an intellectual property, and can unilaterally make any product including her.)
Bandai Namco alleged some other unauthorized uses of their intellectual property; AtGames said Bandai Namco was punishing it for a private deal with rights-holders who weren't happy Bandai Namco weren't making anything with Ms. Pac-Man in it. The lawsuit was settled in November 2020, but AtGames still owns the royalty interest in Ms. Pac-Man.

"The matter was eventually settled around 1983; though by all recounts, the royalty plan effectively stayed the same. Under the revised agreement, GCC would earn royalties from any Ms. Pac-Man "coin-operated machine" sold; this did not include any home console ports or merchandise.
…
The original contract - which had in no way been updated since 1983 - was analyzed by the court. The arbitrator noted that GCC's royalties, judging by the text, explicitly applied to "coin-operated games". At this time, Namco generally sold Ms. Pac-Man cabinets in two forms: models with coin slots, and "home" models without coin slots (meaning they were free to play). Because of this, the court ruled that GCC could only receive royalties for the coin-operated models, and not those without the function.
However, due to a strange case of wording in the contract, a bizarre ruling was made. The contract defined "electronic distribution" of Ms. Pac-Man as "[...] any use in which [the game] is broadcast or in any other way transmitted [to] other receiving devices." With such broad wording, the arbitrator felt this would qualify for numerous things; in particular, devices such as cell phones and products with general internet connectivity. Generally speaking, while not directly coin-operated, these devices can usually accept payments (e.g. via credit card) as well. The newest game consoles at the time - and pretty much all game systems going forward - would also apply to this."
These can only impress a tiny portion of neckbeards, but any neckbeard worth his salt will turn his nose up to it.
Plus do you have no better use for that space? I have over 1,000 hours (wasted) in Rising Storm 2: Vietnam but I don't want a dedicated, huge piece of furniture just to play it.
