I got this off Amazon (paid more but needed it within a certain timeframe) and love it. I have almost no space available but always wanted some kind of Ms. Pac-Man I could play with a true arcade feel. My biggest "complaint" is Galaga is not in the line up of games I'm assuming because it's a seperate partycade. That would have put this over the top for me.
For the second generation they want to sell a seperate Partycade for these most famous titles. So they are not included in the others. Why would you buy another Galaga Cade if you already have it on MS or Super Pacman Version. I don't like that, too. But the salesmann in you thinks: Yes they are right.
I have the Defender Partycade and a Pac Man one that I made a 60n1. Pros. They have the 17 inch screen just like their bigger siblings. They are totally portable. Desk top or hang on wall or door. You can take this thing on road trips or to parties. They play really nice. Cons. The screen is kind of straight up in your face. I like to tilt it back a bit. I use the rubber things they have on the back of the cab. I put them under the feet The play deck isn’t really large enough to rest your hand on it completely. You end up with you hands on the edge. It’s not the end of the world. You get used to it and it doesn’t effect game play but the bigger play decks are better. I have the Tempest Legacy cab and it is a bit more immersive with the tilted recessed screen and sitting at a stool. It has a little more real arcade feel than the Partycade for sure. All in all I think they are great for what they are. I love how you can just move them around.
I liked Rally-X so much, I wrote a paper on it back in grade school and aced it! His gripe in the video was that RX and a few other games are horizontally oriented on a vertical screen.
Well that's a heck of a deal too! I dunno, for $130 you get a perfect "wow" present for the arcade fan - no muss, no fuss. I wouldn't pay $200 for one. but $130 seems fair considering all the hardware you get and how slick the cab is.....
Looking for advice.... I've seen some videos stating that you can add games to the SD card. If that's true, even if you spend a little and replace the joystick and buttons with a higher quality version, you're still only $300 - $500. I'm looking to do just that. Anything I'm missing that might change my mind? If I couldn't add games, that would be a deal breaker, as Ms Pac Man is the only game out of the games that are on here that I like. Thanks
It is possible to add games to some cabs. A1up themselves did so w/OUTRUN, allowing users to add a 5th game, RAD RALLY. You can apparently add some games to THE SIMPSONS... but I've never heard of anyone doing it to a partycade. It might be possible, but I haven't personally seen it done. Plenty of people had replaced the CPU w/ a retro pie setup though.
If yiu could help me out i wouid greatly appreciate it...Im stumles to devide what one to get thwres a 300$ one and a 500$ one at Walmart i dunno what ome to get
@@evilgeniusentertainmenthi mate can you please tell me what monitor is in the machine please all the seriel numbers please ? Also 19K fox has bought certain dell monitors for Arcade1up machines that work in them is there a dell monitor that would work in the ms pacman partycade ? I’m only asking this because I have the pcb for this and want it to work in my gen 3 ms pacman machine from 2020 , thanks 😊
I actually don't have that partycade; gave it to a friend for a housewarming present. But it was a BOE screen for sure. The Dell I'm using in my 1up multicade is the 20" version. As long as you have the right vibs board thingy, it should work. No guarantees, but this is the one I bought: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JCQCQH6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
@@evilgeniusentertainment i know but the Walmart in my area had one left and couldn't sell it so they marked it down and literally got it two days ago so I got a amazing deal on it.

Yup - if GALAGA was in the lineup, it'd be a no brainer for sure.
Galaga in on my Ms Pacman and my Pacman partycades

@@SoulforSale That was first generation. They didn't had a Galaga Partycade than... Now they want you to buy a second.
Are you guys interested in the partycade form factor? I dig them....

Agree on all points - they're not quite as good as the full size machines, but considering everything (including price!), they're pretty dang cool.
Not every classic arcade fan has room for a big arcade. The partycade fills that gap perfectly.
I got mine for $150 and think its about the right price for what ya get. You got a great deal
Yeah, $150-200 is a good price for these... $300 not so much. But if you're pressed for space, these partycades can be a great option.
They're on clearance right now on QVC for $131
Love your Arcade content, keep it up!
Thanks Saul; more coming soon!
I have this one and the Defender version. It’s nice that they don’t take up floor space . I hung mine on the wall of my basement arcade
IF space is a factor, they're a no-brainer.
Don’t forget about Rally X which is excellent!
Yeah, it's too bad it's not on more A1up cabs
RallyX my favorite all time maze chaser
I liked Rally-X so much, I wrote a paper on it back in grade school and aced it! His gripe in the video was that RX and a few other games are horizontally oriented on a vertical screen.
It feels steep to me but I just got a legacy midway for 125 brand new in the box
Well that's a heck of a deal too! I dunno, for $130 you get a perfect "wow" present for the arcade fan - no muss, no fuss. I wouldn't pay $200 for one. but $130 seems fair considering all the hardware you get and how slick the cab is.....
I also grabbed the Capcom legacy on sale for $219
These partycades are 🔥
If you can get them for $140 of less, they're pretty amazing.
@@evilgeniusentertainment not gonna lie. I've paid $200+
Love these. I woulda spent $140 all day!
Got one but won't power on it's not even a 1yr 1/2. But the full size 80s made cabinet work adter 30yrs.
I'd try another power supply - they do die on a fairly regular basis....
@@evilgeniusentertainment i used a multimeter and it shows the exact voltage that it needs.
That sucks man. I guess you could try doing a ticket at A1up, just to see what they say....
@@evilgeniusentertainment yea will do
@@fernandosalas8589Did you ever figure it out?
At 140 shipped, I would have snagged 3, 4 of them.
Keep one or 2 stock, multicade the others

Everyone talking about crazy deals but they go for $250-350 now lol
Yeah, not exactly cheap!
They have this in the break room at work but the joystick sticks like crazy. Ms Pac-Man is unplayable
Easy enough to replace if it can't be cleaned... considering that they're now going for $300 new now, it might be worth it.
spray it with deoxit
If yiu could help me out i wouid greatly appreciate it...Im stumles to devide what one to get thwres a 300$ one and a 500$ one at Walmart i dunno what ome to get
I'd say get the one that has your fav game on it; if you like them equally, go for the cab that has the most games!
Can you make Ms. Pacman go faster during gameplay?
As far as I know, no you can't... hope that helps!
@@evilgeniusentertainment 😭
Sorry brother!
Before you launch the game press the player two button and you can change settings works for all games.
Just got this for 99 at Walmart
I haven't seen them less than $219 in months, so I'd say you got a pretty good deal!
@@evilgeniusentertainment just opened checked, seen you can hang on the back of a door which works perfect for me too!
200 bucks on amazon
Yeah, they've completely disappeared at $119 - and mostly gone any way.
Got it on QVC for $39.99
Best deal I've heard of!
