Arcade1Up’s recently released Pac-Man Plus Deluxe Arcade Machine is on sale for only $380 at Amazon for Prime members. Dubbed a “limited edition” by Arcade1Up, the full-size standing cabinet comes preloaded with 14 games and has a nostalgic wood-panel design. The Pac-Man Plus Deluxe Cabinet released on October 8 for $500, and this is the first discount offered since launch.
If you don’t have room for the Pac-Man Plus Deluxe Cabinet or want a more affordable way to play Pac-Man, Arcade1Up recently released a new Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga Countercade. Both cabinets will arrive before Christmas.
$380 (was $500) with Amazon Prime
This cabinet features a striking wood panel-inspired design, giving it an extremely retro flair. It’s a more minimalistic style than the usual Arcade1Up cabinet, but it does have a wrap-around scene with ghosts chasing the ever-hungry Pac-Man and an RGB light strip beneath the cabinet that produces an under-glow effect.
Adding to its authentic look is the faux molded coin door and light-up marque dubbing Pac-Man Plus an “Exciting New” iteration of the classic game. It also has a faux-molded coin door.
The control panel has a real-feel joystick, six buttons, and switches for power and volume. Like other Arcade1Up Deluxe cabinets, Pac-Man Plus has a 17-inch screen, dual speaker system, and stands in at 61 inches (just over five feet) without needing a separate riser.
Here’s a look at the games available on the Pac-Man Plus Deluxe Cabinet:
- Pac-Man
- Dig Dug
- Dig Dug 2
- Pac-Mania
- Pac & Pal
- Super Pac-Man
- Pac-Man Plus

Evercade Alpha: A more versatile countercade
If you like the idea of a countercade but don’t want to be restricted to a small number of games, Blaze Entertainment’s Evercade Alpha released on November 28 in two styles: Street Fighter and Mega Man. Each countercade comes with six games made by Capcom, but the big draw here is support for the 60-plus Evercade cartridge compilations. Evercade cartridges are themed around classic arcade, console, and handheld games for $20-$25 each.
