not to mention, they come with a 16" LCD screen.  Guess things are really about lessening manufacturing expenses.  I've always felt the artwork could have been a bit more in style with the older machines as well.   :dunno

I think the artwork is awesome.

It is the way that it is put together that is ugly!

Not even a marquee !!   :(

I could not find a single picture of the Galaga side of the tabletop.  Everyone seems to be using exactly the same picture.

The first time I saw a prototype of this product, they were hacking galaga and if you fired more than two  bullets it would erase the oldest bullet and fire a new one.  It has numerous inserted bugs too (bad hacking).

It seems the cabinet design suffers the same problems.  They wanted to do too much.  It'd be better with one side that looks like the original pac-man unaltered, and the other side galaga unaltered.  Why they need to put both on each side makes sense, but there's something to be said about not adding crap that isn't part of the original.

Basically, the winking pac-man has nothing to do with either pac-man and is the more modern pac-man artwork.  I think it has no place on this product myself.

The price is outrageous. $2,100 dollars,  drop $1500 of the price and it still ugly.

I think it looks cool...but only maybe $200 cool...so they are over 10x overpriced.

I can appreciate the look - they scaled down (sort of) a full size. I don't think it looks so bad. However, I would have included a marquee, and of course the price is outrageous...

Could have and should have. I can't imagine anyone dropping 2 grand on that.

The full-size arcade version of this is just as bad in my opinion.
The cabinet style is ok, but the artwork and colors were poorly thought out which also makes them ugly.

That tabletop version is just a joke..........period.
