It is all about looks and not about gameplay. Good job hitting that magic 8:00 minute mark! I want a Deluxe Deluxe Arcade1Up Class of 1981. I heard you can even play Pac Man on that one! lol

[@therexershow]

😂😂 only real gamers know you can do that Papa. The 1up guys still think that not only are the two games ms pac and Galaga completely different Roms on 1 machine , but they also think that it’s impossible to get Pac-Man on the same cab as ms Pac-Man 😂😂😂

[@ArcadeFreak-gw5rp]

Love it, I will tell you what that is a beautiful class of 81. Great video.

[@carlo1132]

Its a beauty for sure. I like the bullet holes, makes me think its been through a few wars.

Nostalgic bullet holes !!

The D-Lux D-Lux huh. I’m just gonna wait until the leaked Paperboy comes out. Also considering the Spy Hunter. The community is buzzing from all the KZbinrs leaked videos

[@therexershow]

But this is the D-Lux x2!! It’s more real of a 1up than the leaked x-men 6 player, the paperboy , the spy hunter. This is why I’m the #1 arcade 1up channel !! I have the leaks and the prototype.

[@mikeyyoon]

Rexer be careful… they may mistaken this for a real arcade-up ms Pac-Man and be sorely disappointed 😂

[@therexershow]

They love fake stories. I’m sure they can sell it as 1up prototype “can they do it “ sorta thing. They need topics.

[@Bo_Knows_Tecmo]

Looks great Rex. I miss my old class of 81. I had purchased one about 15 yrs ago and eventually I sold it when I moved into my first house. I wish I would have kept it. I never wanted the 1up version since it wasn’t the original version. I liked having mspac and pac with the cheat code on one cab and had the cheat for speed up.

[@therexershow]

Yup. It has it all, and has Pac-Man. Love this cab.

[@totalfugazi]

Comedy gold ! King of snark.😅

[@therexershow]

😂😂😂. Snark. All I was doing was a review and focusing on the talking points of all other 1up reviewers. I’m learning from the best.

[@Suhadisgood]

I own that arcade machine since 2004 cause the arcade rules the world of video games I no longer need it the best Pac-Man arcade machine is Pac-Man pixel that didn’t exist in 2004 I would of bought that Pac-Man instead of Ms Pac-Man galaga that includes only 3 games

[@therexershow]

I added misterCade and a switcher so I have all the games I need. The one issue is only 1 button so I can’t play a lot of games that I could with 2 buttons.

[@retrodeek]

We are going to stare at the screen until the 8 minute mark was priceless! LMAO

Best Arcade1up review ever!! That’s why you are the #1 place of Arcade1up news and content. Good stuff!!!

Can you believe I was the content creator that got the prototype and first build ? But you’re right , that’s why I’m the #1 arcade 1up channel

[@DoggyDog420]

Yes that’s crazy you got the first prototype. Glad to see they got rid of the bullet holes and are now using a better elastic band in the joystick lol.

[@RETROOBLIVION]

😂😂This video reminds me of the Konsole Fanboy days! I wonder what happened to that dude?

[@therexershow]

He’s out there. But changed his channel and stays away from the 1up community for the most part. Shills are missing him because he isn’t sending them Superchats as much anymore.

Real T-molding has my fomo meter cranked. This will be the 4th time I've upgraded my 1UP Ms.Pacman but I have a good feeling this one is a keeper. Wish I hadn't lost 75% of what I'd paid for the other 3 each time I sold my previous iterations.

[@therexershow]

The deluxe deluxe does have that tmolding !! I missed that on my review !! You have a choice on this. Preorder and get ripped off, or wait a couple months and get it at a fair price.

Shame on any of you if you bought one of these for less than $1000! Because you stole this epic fine piece! You need to do the right thing and send more money 💰 to 1up and not rip these fine people off! Having the real arcade experience in your home wouldn't happen without 1up! I'm waiting for someone to put one of these on location somewhere charging money just to cash in on taking advantage of someone's nostalgia. Next 1up contest for the best 1up home arcade the winner will get year's supply of 1up arcade polish stick-n-shine so you can keep your art pieces looking new for years to come it will look so clean as if no one has ever played it!

You forgot to tell us to pre-order now before we’re “ass out”. Also, where’s the e-begging for money so we can all enjoy watching you build out your own 1up arcade? That would have filled out your required eight minutes. You must be an amateur. 😂

[@therexershow]

Ahhh. Good points. I’m still learning. Maybe I should have told some sob stories and hyped a membership option.

[@Paddy_G]

Sad that you didn't review all the horizontal 8-way games that came pre-installed on that vertical 4-way system. Those horizontal 8-way games are the only reason I would buy this.

[@therexershow]

I didn’t review any games, it’s a Arcade 1up review, we don’t care about the games, we only care about how it looks.

[@multicadematt]

Gold!!! Got to hit the 8-minute mark. Have a good day Rex.

[@therexershow]

I can’t add more mid roll ads without it being 8 mins. 💁‍♂️

[@thepuzzledmagician]

I’m confused. Is this really an Arcade 1-up? Where did you purchase it? Thanks.

[@therexershow]

Not it’s not an arcade 1up. I built it myself. I’ll eventually show how in a video. This was a spoof review to show how Arcade 1up shills do reviews. All they do is talk about “how it looks”. They don’t care how it plays cause they are all fakes. And don’t care about playing games, they just care about free stuff., views, and subs on YT.

[@Baunzy68]

I like the screen upright so I can actually see it from across the room and since I already have a cheaper version of a 1up pacman I'm good. Done with buying anymore 1ups but I will keep the three I have.

[@therexershow]

You can keep buying the same reiterations over and over if you want to though .!!

[@show-me-retro]

"No bullet holes" 😂😅😂 and the plant 🌵. Awesome "cab" review brother 👏 BTW, I think they call this one the Deluxe Plus

[@therexershow]

Ahhh. Yeah, because this is the prototype , I think it was originally code named deluxe deluxe. But when it comes to market “deluxe plus”.

[@DrEd-th2lu]

Nice machine. We all know Arcade1up could never build something so perfect. Who built up that one? I am getting one.

Oh trust me, i'm ball washing every 1up employee I know for some merch! I learned that trick from the best.

[@Rebecca1]

Rexer….. If you ever start a business making cabs…. I will be right in line for it to buy for my husband…

[@therexershow]

It’s a lot of work to make them exact. I feel like I could do this one for $1100 total. with the $300 Unico LCd in it. But that would be zero profit. If I didn’t need to work a real job , I would definitely make them for people at a reasonable cost. The graphics and the monitors are the expensive part. But I could always use a basic LCD computer monitor and cut back on cost. Thank you very much !!
