Despite the item description which says "by Namco" this product is actually an unlicensed knock-off using cheap construction and components.Nowhere on the machine will you find the word "Namco," though this isn't something buyers would think to check on until it is too late.Mine broke within a short time, after which I discovered that I could not get it fixed because no one authorized to repair game machines would touch a pirated product.Since the game was offered through Amazon I assumed it was reputable, but that was a mistake.
It is truly a thing to behold. I remember playing hours upon hours of "Ms. Pac Man" in the arcade of an ancient bowling alley in my hometown, and hitting the "Start" button on this baby and playing a quick round brings back waves of nostalgia.
It is a faithful port of the game, too -something a lot of the home-console modern "anniversary" upright versions found in newer arcades sadly failed to replicate. This is fast 'n furious "Ms. Pac Man" as it was meant to be played: with jangled nerves while trying to outrun quick, smart and ruthless ghosts.
The inclusion of "Galaga" is nice, but I never played that game much (and am still terrible at it). But as the title of this review says, just having a faithful port of my favorite videogame, in all its cocktail-table glory, in my friggin' house, is worthy of five stars.

We bought this PAC-man cocktail table and within 2 months it was broken. Took months to find someone who knew how to fix it and once we did he was appalled at the quality of work inside the machine. Old computer monitor was installed in the unit which was not meant for it. We replaced the monitor with one meant for the gaming machine and shortly after the power supply went out as well. We contacted the seller repeatedly with questions and it was up to us to pay for repairs. The game technician couldn't believe we had been so badly taken advantage of. Not sure if seller was aware of the poor quality he was selling us, but saddened he provided no help or reimbursement for poor quality product.
As a kid, I dreamed of owning an actual arcade machine in my own home. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would actually happen! The "Ms. Pac-Man/Galaga" combo cocktail table is perfect for those of us who grew up playing these games, but don't have the space for the full-sized uprights. You can even play the original Pac-Man, once you learn the secret joystick "code" to call it up. It has many different user-adjustable options for all three games, including regular or "speedy" play for the "Pac-Man" games, and regular or "fast fire" for "Galaga". This unit really brings back the memories, and is a fun item to have at parties!
