Summary
There’s no question that Arcade1Up is doing great work. Not only does it provide opportunities to have arcade games the way they were intended to be played in your own home, but in some cases those games are at risk of being lost to time as arcades continue to become a thing of the past. What might have put you off pulling the trigger on an Arcade1Up cabinet of your own is the price. They’re understandably pretty expensive. However, there are cheaper ways to hop aboard the Arcade1Up bandwagon, and right now one of those ways costs even less than usual.
Arcade1Up has a countercade range. Smaller versions of its five-foot arcade cabinets that are designed to sit on a desk, table, or as the name of the range implies, counter. Ms. Pac-Man is one of the arcade classics that has been given the countercade treatment, and right now the smaller cabinet is on sale at Amazon for $119.99. The Ms. Pac-Man tabletop arcade cabinet is usually $179.99 when bought on Amazon, so now’s your chance to grab one and save $60 in the process.
If you’re seeing this article too late and the Ms. Pac-Man cabinet has returned to full price,you can get it straight from the source at Arcade1Up for $149.99.
Like most other Arcade1Up machines, the Ms. Pac-Man countercade has more than just the game it’s named after included with it. There are five games on the Ms. Pac-Man countercade - Ms. Pac-Man, Super Pac-Man, Galaxian, King & Balloon, and Rompers. There’s only one control panel as opposed to two or four like Arcade1Up’s bigger cabinets, and it also has a smaller screen. You’ll be sitting closer to it though and even at full price, the cabinet is less than half the price of a regular Arcade1Up cabinet.
