Well, after $500, weeks of waiting, and 90 sweaty minutes of assembly-work done on an empty stomach, I finally have my Ms. Pacman arcade machine! I picked it because it had yellow trim, four games that I didn't already have on my 40th anniversary Pacman arcade cabinet, and was a sit-down machine...
And it turns out either I'm terrible at those games, or those games are terrible in comparison. I mean, if you play Galaxian after getting used to Galaga, it feels awful---simpler enemy movements, a much less forgiving hitbox for your ship, fewer projectiles on the screen at once...! And you'd think I was a moron from watching how I play Dig Dig 2!
Hopefully, I'll get better as time goes on!

Some arcade machines are better than others. What got me hooked on arcade1up's work is actually their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles machine; I was afraid that machine was going to be discontinued, and I LOVED that game when I was a kid. So when I saw one TMNT box for sale at Walmart, I bought it, mostly out of FOMO. But for some reason, I find myself going to that arcade machine the least out of the four that I now own...
