Price is way out of wack. Emulation issues with screen tearing. I thought I noticed the bilinear filtering still on this. It is used to mask the emulation issues(screen tearing….etc). Great review and much respect for buying this to show the reality of the situation.

Rolling Thunder is really fun. Just started getting into it. Very hard but fun, and some of the best music ever. This thing is a glorified plug 'n play with a cheap pillow slapped on it, and charging $180 for it is absolutely insulting. It should be $50 tops. I don't like when A1Up does stuff like this that feels slimy and predatory.

I bought the Atari one...that list of games, so easy to access with the specialty controllers was just too much to pass up. I knew I would regret it if the product disappeared and I didn't get one. I'll wait on the Pac Man one, those games are not as big a deal to me (except Galaxian and Dig Dug)

[@lovetheblue6659]

Yeah … I like the concept and the presentation (except for the optional side bars - agree that they should have been customized for each included game.). I think this thing will sell to people who just want a convenient way for their kids to play these classic games and aren’t interested in cabinets. The initial price is a little high, but I bet WalMart will be selling scads of these things ‘discounted” to $99 by Labor Day!

[@TyG2k9]

As a long time Pac-Man fan, I thought $180 was insanely steep for that stick. BUT, I was willing to still buy it BECAUSE it's Pac-Man. I was disappointed because there was no speed settings for Galaga or Pac-Man, but I figured no big deal since there was a micro SD card slot allowing for me to add games. Once I saw that you couldn't, there was no way I was buying this. Thank you for the video!

It's stuff like this is why true Hobbyist don't take A1Up seriously and that theyre just a toy company . Don't forget Micro Center released their Atari themed Pi3 couchcade version with fight stick, trackball, and spinner for $199. It's also a way better built than this A1Up version.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Lol they should just stick to arcades but pacman pays the bills

[@uphilliceskater]

It's looks nice, though. Just look at stuff as a modding opportunity.

[@puertoriconnect4611]

Woah. $180. Just goes to show A1U is not shy about ripping off their customers. I’ve gotten similar things to this in the past for my mom for less than $50. Makes me question their pricing on everything. Like those damn stools being nearly $100. I’ve seen stools with the same exact design going for less than half that price which means it probably even less to manufacture them. So A1U has like at least a $70 markup. I get they have to license the graphics and share profits but that’s still crazy high. Especially since the stool is barley comfortable.

[@Frank_D]

I really don't like that this thing uses disposable batteries. It's one thing for devices like flashlights to use batteries, since you want an easily swappable power source for emergencies, but there's no reason for a recreational item to ever need them. In an item like this, the need for batteries just creates waste, and that can be a problem if those batteries aren't properly disposed of.

Fair play to you for going out and buying this so the rest of us don't have to. I really think the absence of a rechargeable battery pack is either lazy or cheap, the USB is on the back on the control deck so it must have been though of at one stage and then they decided not to. Like you say, the price is WAY too high for what it is and there are other devices already established in the market that do things much better. Not only is this a waste of money to buy, it was a waste of money for Arcade 1up to design and manufacture

@@PDubsArcadeLoft haha its funny but really why wouldn’t they include Ms Pac Man on this?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

@@literallyunderrated nobody knows

@@literallyunderrated Cash Grab. Why pay for 1 when they could make twice as much on 2.

[@literallyunderrated]

@@abcdq2 But even things like Namco Museum for Switch, no Ms. Pac Man. Its weird

Hey pdubs is it possible to take your old control box ( the one you can add games to) and use it with the pillow controller?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

I tried and could not get it to pair

[@Ty26917]

Do you think this is good for someone who only likes pac man. Or could you suggest some other options. Thank you!

[@razzieputin]

"... other products that do the same thing but 100 times better." Such as....? I'm kind of interested in buying something similar.

[@chrisstory563]

I don't understand why many of your would suggest Pandora's box. I heard about some of those have kinky Japanizes games that are not suitable for kids.

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

My channel is meant for viewers ages 14 and over this is not a kids channel.

Question- is it possible to pair the couchcade control panel with the older pacman console (the one used to access dual boot mode)?

[@PDubsArcadeLoft]

Nope
