We recently purchased the Doc & Pies 412 game arcade cabinet. I may do an in-depth review of what we think in a later post. A few bullet points:
- It has a lot of the games we wanted. Of the 412 games we’ll eventually play probably 30-50 of them, and about 10-20 of them we’ll play frequently. Winners (for us) include Ms. Pac Man, Pac Man, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Galaga, Galaxian, Sinistar, Lady Bug, Bump n Jump, Tetris, Dig Dug, Raiden, Xevious, Zaxxon, Burger Time, and Mr. Do, as well as modified games like “fast shoot Galaga”.
- Any game that requires a “spin” controller won’t play well, to the point where they’re not worth bothering with. This knocks out some favorites like Tempest, Arkanoid, and Tron. There is no “roller” controller either, which knocks out Centipede and Millipede if you’re serious about them. Q-Bert also won’t play correctly — I think that’s because it’s a 4-way joystick and not an 8-way joystick.
- The volume controller can only be accessed by removing four screws on the back of the machine. There’s a significant difference in loudness between some games. We wound up setting the volume on the low side and leaving it.
- The games, annoyingly, are not loaded alphabetically into the machine. Because I couldn’t find an alphabetical list anywhere — below is a list of all games sorted with their associated game number. Ours is printed out onto four pages. We used colorful paper and laminated them, the lamination should dramatically increase the life span of the lists.
- Overall it’s not perfect, but it’s fairly reasonable considering the price point. It’s a fun looking box. We selected the Galaga stickers but it’s available with others:
It’s about 40-50 pounds and fairly substantial. We’ll see how it holds up — it coughed today when we turned it on, but so far no other glitches.
The list of games is below the break-

I wonder if you can get replacement buttons/joystick. I suspect the buttons especially will be the first hardware to fail (not due to poor quality, but due to enthusiastic use). I’d lay in a supply. hehe.

That’s sort of another blog post — I think all of the components are off the shelf or 3rd party and Doc and Pies just assembles them into the finished product. The processor box is manufactured by Game Elf. At first glance the power supply is an off the shelf solution as well. The monitor is Dell, so they probably have a Dell business account for a discount on those. (If they don’t, they should.) I believe the joystick and buttons are readily available, as are the decals… ultimately you’re paying for someone else to buy the wood, knock the holes in it, assemble and paint it, and neatly tie everything together. I’m sure they have a decent margin on the end product, but then, I shouldn’t be able to acquire the components at the cost that they do, and I’d rather spend a bit extra and pay them to put everything together.
The one bit of post-purchase interaction I had with them went well, and the insides of the box are put together in a clean and organized fashion, a couple of nits but pretty well done overall. I’m hopeful that carries through to longevity for the machine.

Hey AJ, I bought the same one in the Pac Man color. The volume was a pain, so I unplugged it, took the back off, unmounted the box with the white volume control and spun it around so the volume faced forward & remounted. Drilled a small hole in the front, inline with the volume control, and ran a long wood dowel rod with a rubber hose at the end over the white volume control. Screwed on a volume control knob to the dowel comming out of the hole in the front, and I can now adjust the volume at any time.

That’s a very smart solution. I may want to try your fix at some point. So far we’ve enjoyed the cabinet but it would be nice to be able to adjust volume sometimes.
