What do you think of the new countercades? What future titles would you like to see released? Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below!

Those little things make all the difference. I am gonna hold out for the 3/4 version of Ms. Pac-Man still.

Just watching this now! Great video and you made my choice rather simple! My mom use to be a Mrs. Pacman champ back in the day so this will be a sweet surprise for her 60th! 🤘

Thank you for confirming the lack of speed adjustments. That makes this machine a no go for me. I need my Ms. Pac-Man to be full v-chip quick! :)

My wife just got her 40th anniversary PAC-MAN today for her birthday, she absolutely loves it. Perfect size as she is stuck in a hotel room out of town for work. Keep up the excellent content.

I didn't realize how tiny that thing is, really haven't checked out any of the countercades. Great video and info as always, thanks for the heads up 👍

[TheDarkThunder]

Thank you for this review, was hoping there would be a speed option on Ms Pac-Man but oh well.

I got mine a few weeks ago and I love it. I'm a Galaga player and the game plays just like the old arcade ones. You don't need the handle on the back because there is a lip on the front where you can grab it well with your fingers.

Got my Ms. Pac man countercade replaced and now the audio works! Love it but now HSN has a Ms. Pac man partycade for sale. I had been waiting for the partycade because of the bigger screen. Hoping arcade 1up comes out with a Ms. Pac man game console.

Now we need a mini NBA Jam TE for $99 🇨🇦. Hope they fix the Start button location for accidental hit during play time. 👍👍👍👍

[GlensRetroShow]

That looks so much better in the new form factor nice job on the video master cooltoy

[kensappjr]

Mine gets here Tuesday. Wouldn't have pulled the trigger on this without your video. Thank you! Can't wait to get it

[KingD-light]

I've got this from Walmart the other day and love the feeling of it and it's lightweight. 💯👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Love the looks. Everything about this machine A+

Hey! When it comes to saving money and Space in the house I definitely take these countercades any day. The game lineup on this is fabulous. Pac-Man plus in my opinion is more challenging! Galaga that’s a major plus on this!

[guiltynessness]

I definitely like the size and having dig dug on it was a good call. Wish they would have added it on the Walmart 3/4 size cabinet

CoolToy,

Thought I'd let you know I got my QVC Ms. Pac-Man countercade. Thanks again for the early reveal, so I was able to get in on that low introductory price!

As you know, my biggest concern with the smaller size countercade was that owning the original Dig Dug it already had a marginally cramped button to joystick layout. Well, I have to hand it to Arcade1up. They somehow managed to shrink their countercade and give comparable button placement. In fact, on the Ms. Pac-Man, the action button is actually further from the Joystick than on the bigger Dig Dug 1st gen! Now granted, the original Dig Dug model had two action buttons, one on either side of the joystick, so you can play either right handed or left handed, but I'm willing to forgo that functionality to get a less cramped experience. That gave me the confidence to order the 4 in 1 Pac-Man 40th Anniversary countercade. It looks like that one also has the same less cramped joystick to button ratio as the Ms. Pac-Man! I had some Kohl's cash, so I got $5 off and free shipping and it came to around $152 with tax. I hope you'll be getting one of these as well as I'd like to hear your take :)

The only thing that I don't like about the countercades are their screen quality. If you sit directly in front of them, they're fine, but if you move a little to the left or right, or aren't sitting at eye level (especially on the Ms. Pac-Man), the view is less than appealing. On the 1st gen models, the screens are really washed out (blacks are greys), and on the 2nd gen models, they lean toward the darker side, crushing the image and making the colors inaccurate. I know these are cheaper machines, but I wish Arcade1up would understand that there are some things you can't skimp on. There are many great and cost effective monitors at this size out there and raising the price by $10 to $20 I think is worth doing to avoid another reputation hit. Arcade1up continues to improve, so I continue to support them, and they have proven to listen to their fans.

Thanks again CoolToy for letting me know about the early release!

Got my 40th Ann. Pacman version - These wave 2's do scale and look MUCH better than wave 1. And in 40th the player 1/2 button placement is in further and closer to the stick than the 4 game Ms. Pacman reviewed here, so my left hand tends to rest outside of those buttons nearer the control deck edge, and I've had no accidental button presses - great! I imagine the QVC Ms. Pacman w/ only 2 games will have the same button placement as the 40th since it only has one action button on the right, instead of 2 in the version that COOLTOY reviewed here. Problem arises when wanting to rest RIGHT hand when playing Galaga or Dig Dug - it falls off the edge and you have to hover your right hand instead. That's the one benefit wave 1 cabs have over these wave 2's, a larger control deck to rest both hands, and that's important for playability. But wave 2 LOOKS much better proportioned and is priced better.

Awesome review as always. Thanks again for the heads up today on the Ms. Pacman cabinet from Walmart.

I picked _One Up_ today as a belated birthday / early Christmas present for my brother. He's only been wanting one of these since the 80's. Ironically, at the end of checkout, my lady friend points out the woman ringing us up is wearing a Donkey Kong t-shirt. What are the odds?

I’m starting to get addicted. I’m picking up the sit-down Star Wars cab on Friday.
