Standing at this cabinet

The Pac-Man Jr Series Free Standing Machine is a retro arcade machine for the home: a Junior Series floor cabinet, 37.5 in tall, with an 8 in screen, and one player, with three difficulty modes.

Junior Series is the full cabinet shape at a height a child can stand at without a stool. It keeps the base, the marquee and the vertical 8-inch screen, and it keeps the stick — a real microswitch joystick with the click, not a soft pad. What we added is three modes: Super Easy, Easy and Normal, so the first maze ends in a cleared screen rather than four quick deaths.

Three boards share the cabinet and they teach different hands. Pac-Man is pattern and nerve, Galaga is timing on the dive, Dig Dug is planning a tunnel before you fall down it. It arrives flat and needs assembly — body, head, adapter, twenty minutes on the carpet — and then it stands on its own feet in a bedroom corner for years.

What we built in

Three arcade boards in one junior cabinet: Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig Dug.
Super Easy, Easy and Normal modes, so a new player finishes a maze instead of giving up on it.
8-inch full colour vertical screen under a lit marquee, pixel art at the size it was drawn.
37.5 inches tall, free standing on its own base, assembly required and an AC adapter included.

The retro arcade machine for the home that was designed for a child's room

Junior Series is a full cabinet shape at 37.5 inches: it stands on its own feet, it has a lit marquee and a proper control panel, and it is built to be the right height for someone who is not six foot. We did not make a short adult cabinet. We moved the panel, the screen and the speakers to where a kid's hands and eyes actually are, which is a different machine, not a smaller one.

Three classic titles and three difficulty modes

Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig Dug sit on licensed boards, three authentic arcade games on one panel. The part parents notice is the difficulty setting: three modes, so a first maze is finishable and the game stays fun instead of turning into a lesson in losing. A high score is only motivating if it is reachable. Dig Dug in particular rewards patience over reflex, which makes it the title that usually holds a younger player longest.

Space, build and the plug

It takes a corner of a bedroom rather than a wall of a game room, and it wants a hard floor instead of a rug edge so the base stays steady. The body is wood with laminated custom side art, the kind of durable shell that survives a room being rearranged twice a year. The AC adapter goes into a standard socket, there is no coin-operation and no account, and the attract loop starts the moment the power is on.

Who this arcade machine is for

The Junior Series exists for one situation: a kid wants an arcade cabinet and the room is a bedroom. At 37.5 inches this is a free standing machine that goes straight on the floor, with the stick at the right height for a child standing at it rather than an adult stooping over it. The board is licensed and official — Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig Dug, four timeless arcade games rather than one — and the three difficulty modes mean a six-year-old can actually finish a maze. Nothing about it is coin-operation based, so there is no jar of quarters and no limit on how many turns a child gets. Find a square of floor, look at the plug, and that is the whole setup. For a first arcade machine in the house it is the one we hand to families most often, and the nostalgia tends to land on the parent rather than the kid.

How it fits across our collection

Above this sits the Ultra Series, a 61-inch full size floor cabinet for a dedicated game room; below it sit the 16-inch Counter Series for bars and desks and the 6-inch Handheld Series for a pocket. Same business, same durable build, same licensed boards, four heights. We do not do custom work and we do not build pinball — a small, fixed collection is how we keep the quality and the controls consistent across every size we make. The practical thing to weigh up is whether the machine will be used sitting or standing, because that single question decides the height more reliably than the titles do. Thousands of hours of free play come as standard on every one of them, which is the part of the arcade experience we actually wanted to bring home: endless fun with no coin slot in sight.

What players said about this cabinet

Nice arcade game
This is a nice arcade game and perfect size for smaller kids or sitting, this classic is great. The assembly did take two people but easy to follow the instructions to assemble

Perfect as a gift
There are so many parts to this thing that you have to assemble, but it's fairly straightforward and there are decent instructions included. It's quite a collector piece. The screen isn't huge but the arcade frame is fairly large. Incredible games, incredible gameplay, good connectivity for powering on. Would make an awesome gift for the nostalgic game player in your life, or a modern day nerd who wants their own at home arcade. Perfect gift. Highly recommend, was very loved by my husband (who is a gamer). Worth the purchase even at its expensive price.

Nice smaller size game machine
This arcade classics Pac-Man Junior series was perfect for my son. My son is seven so we did put the arcade machine on a little stand to help him reach it comfortably. It was a smaller size, and the screen was no bigger than the average tablet. It did have a variety of games that my son absolutely loved. This was fun to play and it was smaller than your average game machine, which made it great for small rooms. For the most part, it was pretty simple to put together if you followed the directions. This was a great value and would make an excellent gift.
