Pac-Man side's bright colors are impressive, but the bigger improvement comes on the Galaga side. I was able to do this eventually, but did split a few of the many MDF boards inside the cabinet while doing so, as it's really meant for someone to line up all the holes while a second person sets the pieces into place. Because of the riserless design, there comes a point when you line up a whole bunch of dowels and screw-holes to sandwich the system in place and then join the top and bottom halves together before connecting them on the inside. I did have a hell of a time getting the machine assembled and certainly recommend having two people work together if you have the option.
Pac-Man and Galaga, both of which look gorgeous. Class of '81 features split artwork of Ms. The system isn't actually one continuous piece on the side panels-it's two that are slotted into each other at the end of the build-but the small connecting line isn't distracting and looks much better than the old cabinet. The most obvious of these is the riserless design, which gets the cabinet to just over five feet-a few inches taller than the previous cabinet. That being said, the changes made here are welcome pretty much across the board. The 12 games on this particular system were previously featured in Arcade1Up's standard Class of '81 cabinet, but this is now obsolete, further emphasizing that the Deluxe line is more of an improvement and revision to some of the most popular cabinets rather than an entirely new experience. There are certainly a few here that I wouldn't consider winners, especially The Tower of Druaga, but almost everything is at least worth giving a shot. The other Deluxe cabinets feature similarly prestigious games, so your choice will really come down to genre preference and nostalgia. Pac-Man and Galaga-as well as Galaga '88 and Dig Dug. There are a few absolute classics in this collection, including the two marquee games-Ms. The Pac-Man and Mortal Kombat II machines each include 14 games, and in the case of the Class of '81 Deluxe cabinet, I got 12: The Arcade1Up Deluxe lineup-despite its name implying a high price tag-is actually more in line with the company's cheaper Legacy cabinets, packing a variety of games from a particular publisher into one system for around $500. Even better, it's just one of several changes that will make longtime home-arcade players very happy. Arcade1Up smartly decided to ditch the risers for its new Deluxe lineup, and after spending time with the Class of '81 Deluxe cabinet, I can confidently say it was the right move. The risers don't look particularly good, break up the artwork on the cabinet, and add another step to the building process.

With the exception of its expensive Killer Instinct Pro Series cabinet, however, all of its 3/4-scale systems have required a separate riser to reach a good standing height for adults. Just food for thought.Arcade1Up has been producing home-arcade cabinets for more than four years, releasing titles from hit classics like Pac-Man to racers like Out Run and even lightgun shooters like Big Buck Hunter.
#GALAGA 88 CONTROL PANEL FULL#
You can get full 60-in-1 "kits", including the buttons, joystick, power supply, and wiring harness all for about $100 if you decide to go that route.
I'd make the board decision first, since that will dictate what power supply, wiring harness, and controls you'll need. You'll have to add a couple more buttons to be able to play all the games in the 60-in-1, also. The 60-in-1s are a good alternative, just comes down to if you want this as a dedicated game, or more games to get more use from it.

Plus there's less resources out there in fixing them when they go bad.
Bootleg boards are notorious for having just enough missing or changed that it just doesn't "feel" like the real thing. I agree with what was previously stated in getting either an original board or going the 60-in-1 route. Always good to see a game come back to its original shape. I also have some spare parts left over, so just PM me what you need and I'm sure we can work something out if I have it. Pac restore, so if you have any questions during the process let me know.
