The screen on these Pac Mania units is pretty terrible. It's an edge lit design, which is kind of crazy in this era. Black levels are pretty bad, and viewing angles are extremely narrow.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean by full size but my local Costco has the Arcade1up Pac-Man XL for $600. It's also available on their website for $630.
the cabinet on the costco arcade1 is legit, felt like the real thing.. Next to it they had a short pinball machine, at full height and well done https://www.costco.com/arcade1up-...94310.html
Every time I get one of these and assemble it, I swear it's the last time. Six cabs (including two different PacMan cabs), here I am trying to justify another purchase with all my Nordy notes.
Just emulate on your pc. You'll get more authentic emulation on a better screen with better speakers. Pull a CRT monitor off a curb and you'll be light years ahead. Put that $250 toward something important, or buy/build a top-quality arcade-style fightstick with that money.
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.
I agree 100 percent!
I enjoy arcades in a man cave as much as the next guy but a way better option is a higher quality multicade, maybe a quality Vpin and you could still have room for a bar, pool table, air hockey, a lot more variety than a room full of cheaply made 3/4 arcades that are short even with a riser (and I am average height not tall).
If an arcade1UP feels legit that means it has been too long since you have put hands on an actual arcade!
Don't even get me started on the mini Arcade1UP Pinballs that are 720P and 24 inch monitor. They have bad mother boards and are known to self destruct! For a bit more money (like $50 more) you could get an Atgames Legends Pinball that is way higher quality. Of course real pinball superfans will still snub their nose at the ALP's but for casuals like me they are just fine. AtGames have a 24 inch HD monitor backboard, a 1080P 32 inch playfield, come with 22 games and you can add something like 108 more for $250 ($125 during their bi annual sales)

Yeah I saw the techmoan video reviewing the Atgames pinball and it all came off as a nice piece of equipment.

Wow, you're very condescending. This has been unhelpful to say the least.

For me Arcade1up's a kind of junky and if I got one for some reason I would immediatly want to start replacing things like the typical washed out marquee, the controls for sure, larger monitor probably have to hack into the thing and add some games to it. This is especially true if it was a game with a trackball or spinner (Arcade1up doesn't even try on those)!
Atgames Legends products are just acceptable from the start, they aren't amazing, true arcade quality controls that you could stand on or rage on when you die and they are going to still work but they are of decent quality and they provide decent gameplay out of the box. So much so that I haven't bothered to replace them and I have real arcade quality joysticks (Ultimarc brand, and Happ) laying around from the arcade1UP that I modded and is now in the closet.

because we all have 25 hours to waste building and testing this with a CRT monitor from 2001!
