Pros

The basic fun arcade series takes your retro arcade games from the early 80s and recreates them in miniature form. The basic concept is the same as the original arcade ms. Pacman love story from the original. If u like miss pac man, well, this is a mu...  Read More

My fav thing is you hear the coin drop when you press start. Music is great, albeit really loud.

This handheld device is compact and portable. I just wish that it wasn't so difficult to navigate the corners, unlike the big pacman console. The games are shaped like retro arcade cabinets coming in at a decent handheld size of 6 inches by 4 inches b...  Read More

It is a little harder to control and see than the stand up, larger version. My reflexes are a little bit slower, but i still have had a lot of fun playing the game and reliving my childhood.

Adults love borrowing, this nostalgic toy. My granddaughter loves it after she realized the concept of the game.



Cons

The little joystick is stiff, awkward-feeling, and has poor response. It's hard to know if it's the hardware being unresponsive, or the game being slow and not reacting to input. The animation is at such a low frame rate you feel disconnected from the...  Read More

Quality


Although it can be hard to control with the tiny joystick its still fun to play


The mini arcade joystick works fairly well for the purposes of the game


The arcade game is powered by 3x aa batteries which are supplied with the game


Otherwise it is a fun experience and very good value for the money

Packaging/appearance


The game comes with three aa batteries already installed so its ready to play right out of the package


  it came with batteries so it is ready to play right out of the box


I dont remember because we threw the packaging away

Competitiveness


One final note is the coleco units werent exactly cheap in the 80s but now they fetch hundreds of dollars on the secondary market

    If youre looking for an arcade accurate version of ms pacman then look elsewhere


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is an approximation of the 1983 coleco tabletop arcade version of the game


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That said this does get knocked a few points for not being a faithful reproduction of the original units


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The new unit has a much slimmer profile with scrunched artwork and only has one joystick compared to two on the original


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The actual screen size however is quite small at just 2


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    To replace the batteries you will require a small philips screwdriver to take the battery door off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Operation of the game is as simple as hitting the power button then pressing the start button
