Summary
Don’t ask me my age, but I’m old enough to remember a time when certain games could only be played at arcades. While I don’t long for a time when I had to leave the house to play a certain game to return, it is a shame that arcades are becoming more and more scarce. Thankfully, Arcade1Up continues to provide gamers with opportunities to bring the arcade experience to their own homes, and its latest release,the Pac-Man Plus Deluxe, is one of its best machines to date.
The Pac-Man Plus Deluxe is an arcade machine that looks almost identical to some of the machines you might have playedPac-Manon in an arcade three, maybe even four decades ago. Its wood paneling gives it even more of a retro feel than Arcade1Up’s other offerings, reminiscent of some of the earlier cabinets that filled arcades in the 1970s and 1980s. It’s nothing without the games it comes with, of course, andthis machine has 14 of them.
Leading the charge is Pac-Man, of course, and quite a few other Pac-Man games are joining it.Pac-Mania, Super Pac-Man, and Pac-Man Plusare all on there, but there’s more than just Pac-Man waiting to be played on this machine. OtherBandai Namcoarcade classics on the Pac-Man Plus Deluxe includeMappy, Galaxian, Dig-Dug, and Rolling Thunder. All of the games have online leaderboards too provided you connect the cabinet to your W-Fi, meaning you can finally find out where you rank among the world’s best Pac-Man players.

Arcade1Up Pac-Man Plus Deluxe Arcade Machine
Arcade1Up’s Pac-Man Plus Deluxe arcade machine is its best homage to a series that is synonymous with arcades to date. The wood-paneled cabinet is loaded with 14 classic titles from Bandai Namco, stands a little more than five feet tall, and has a 17-inch BOE monitor to make those games look better than ever.
Even though Arcade1Up is best known for cabinets like the Pac-Man Plus Deluxe above, it gave something else you’ll find in arcades the world over a try earlier this month -a claw machine. Arcade1Up’s claw machine is available now and comes with capsules you may fill with whatever you like that users must then try to pick up using the machine’s controls and claw. The machine has three difficulties - easy normal, and scam. I’m assuming you’ll need to have it on the highest difficulty to accurately recreate the feeling of using a classic claw machine.
