I bought this more than a week ago and very pleased with my purchase. Beyond the first step of putting together the arcade, I had no issues following the manual. But would highly recommend that you have a second person assisting with the instructions. This arcade offers it all - larger monitor, superior speakers, better quality controllers - compared to what I have found all Arcade1Up machines I have bought. Plus, you get bluetooth, Wifi and the ability to add games beyond the 350 preinstalled. If you can't buy in store, I would recommend examing all pieces and plugging in the arcade to confirm the technical parts operate correctly, before building the base.

The design and functionality of the unit is pretty good for the price. Because of the weight of the unit and the fact that the cabinet is made of a Masonite/paperboard material, it is heavy but cracks/breaks easily and doesn't hold screws very well. When my shipped unit arrived, the box looked good and undamaged. I assembled the cabinet and nothing was broken so I thought I was one of the lucky ones but when I went to place the console head on top of the cabinet, I realized the monitor was not attached to the head unit. I opened the back panel and looked inside and the monitor had ripped out of the frame and pulled all the screws out of the paperboard leaving divots where they were ripped out. because of the weak paperboard, the weight of the monitor can pull out just by dropping the last few inches with a hand truck or when a fork lift drops the pallet of them on the ground. I looked at last years model and it was held by angled aluminum brackets at each corner of the monitor and was held by 6 screws in each corner. In this years model there is just 6 screws holding the entire monitor to the frame. They cheaped out this year in that area. That may also explain the light bleed problem some reported. I contacted ATGames through there email system (the only option) and haven't heard a peep back from them yet. I am a Electromechanical Engineer by training and I can see they didn't take into account some of the inertia loads that occurs from shipping. I prefer not to have to disassemble the whole thing and drag it back to Sams, I would just like to exchange the head unit but I'm thinking I won't hear back from support(not)@ATGames so I may have to do that.

This Legends Arcade is phenomenal! The box it is shipped in is VERY well padded inside. They obviously go through a thoughtful process to package these up well. Assembly was very straightforward and the instructions were very easy to follow. It comes with extra hardware bits too, just in case. I'd say it took me maybe 40 minutes time to assemble it and that was going slow, paying attention to every step. The gaming is as good as you can imagine. The first thing I did was download and install CoinOpsX 4.5 that has over 1600 arcade games. You will need to YouTube how to do this and at least a 64GB thumb drive. The build-quality of the cabinet, hardware and screen exceeded my expectations. I honestly don't know how the company can make much money on these, especially when you consider all the licensing fees they must pay. If you're on the fence I'd say just do it! This is one seriously top-notch addition to anyone's home or mancave.

Recently purchased and having zero issues. Setup was very easy, but recommend 2 people and be very careful to slowly hand tighten screws. The particle board feels unforgiving and could break with too much pressure on the dowl screws. Make sure you read up online about the CoinOpsX options available for this. I now have over 5000 games added via usb and am in arcade heaven. Highly recommend for the features and price!

It took me forever to be able to order this from Sams Club as it was constantly out of stock. The photos make it appear that the side panels are all one solid piece but there is both an upper portion and lower portion of the unit that get assembled. The entire cabinet is made from a cheap particle board material and screws are easily stripped, so extreme care is required during the assembly. After a couple of hours worth repairs, I finally got it together and in working order. The only reason I recommend it is because the game play is fun and the ability to add games is great. I'm just disappointed with the quality of the build and the condition in which the package arrived.

This cab has made me sell all my 1ups. Company is doing free updates allowing you to add your own games, stream (anything) locally from pc and even play from a pi with no mod necessary. More updates coming. This thing is a no brainer. Company is taking requests from users for new features. Just get it. Nothing comes close to this cabinet and at this price point its a steal.

I recently got this at sams for sale price 449.00. This is an outstanding cabinet. As an avid gamer I can tell you there’s no other system out there that matches titles, internet capabilities but most of all it’s ability to let you add your own rom games which is why I bought it! You wont be disappointed. I’m already playing all of my games from my MAME arcade library on this thing! I’m blown away how much this company has packed into this unit. Extremely happy gamer!

Great Arcade, it many great games to play.

This is a Christmas present so it has not been given to my grandbabies.

Awesome arcade, great delivery by Sam's Club staff!
