Tiny Arcade Pac-Man 3.5" Mini Retro Game - Functional Arcade Cabinet w/ Real Gameplay & Sounds - Classic Game Fits in the Palm of Your Hand (Ages 8+)

I added a magnet and stuck it to my fridge in my vintage bar. Makes for a great conversation piece and it goes with all the other retro items in my bar. It is the REAL game ROM. So cool.

I recently decided to give this mini Pac-Man game a try. I am an old-school child of the 80s, and I have a full-sized arcade machine of Pac Man, so I am well aware of how the real game plays. This little game is darned close to the original, and overall is an amazing and fun little device for the money. And when I say little, I mean it is less than 4 inches tall and literally has a key-ring on the back (but I removed that as it really is too big to serve as a keyring, but just realize that the buttons and joystick on this thing are tiny, but they do work). Note that there are several 1 star reviews; most of these are unhappy about the small size, but the dimensions are in the description of the product (and again, part of the appeal IS the small size).What I love:- The game is recreated (or mostly likely just ported) over accurately, including the levels, different "fruits" on different levels, and even the cut screens.- The screen is very bright and sharp; the resolution could be a little better, but it is so tiny that overall it looks great and very much like the actual arcade version.- The cabinet design is nice and colorful; even when the machine is off it makes a nice little conversation piece.- It uses 3 AAA batteries that are accessible and replaceable from the back by removing one screw, so this unit in theory should last a very long time if treated gently.- Despite the tiny size, it really is playable!However, it isn't perfect, so if you are an arcade snob or perfectionist, here are a few issues:- Playability is good, but the game play feels slightly slower than the original on earlier levels, and much slower on the more advanced levels. I can play this game almost indefinitely without dying.- High scores are not stored after you turn off the game.- Joystick placement is not consistent with the original game (but now we are really nitpicking).- Volume is not adjustable and there is no "mute" (makes it tough to play in the office!).But overall it is a neat little collectible and a perfect gift for anyone who loves arcade games from the 80s; again, this is an amazing little device for the money.

Gave this along the Tetris one to my neice for Christmas, she loved it

It wasnt as big as i thoughr

This is a fun, playable tiny arcade game which is very realistic. Although it would be eye straining to play for more than a few minutes at a time due to the tiny display. I was pleasantly surprised the marquee actually lights up when powered on. For this version it is pre-selected to play Pac-Man. But it can be modded to unlock all four games on the circuit board (Ms. Pac-Mac, Pac-Man, Galaxian & Space Invader. For those interested in the mod, search "Tiny Arcade by Super Impulse 4 position DIP switch modification" in Youtube for the instruction video.

Coming from someone who loved going to arcades back in the 1980's with only $5, this really brought back some great memories that can never be made again. All I know, I wasn't too happy about the size when I saw these on the store (I almost didn't buy them), but once I saw it in my room, OMG, I was super extremely happy to have a Pac-Man cabinet (albeit small) in my house!This is the closest I'll be, to be able to get to owning my own arcade in my home. I honestly wish they would have went just a couple inches larger, but no other company has been able to replicate Pac-Man or any arcade game port proper.The other thing I wish this had, was the glass cover with the artwork that went over the screen, the artwork that was on the joystick table, & the coin slot.The last thing I wish this had was the correct cabinet shape for each game and correct joystick positions. All of these Tiny Arcade cabinets look identical, something only a few arcade games were like back in the day.Despite the size, identical cabinet shape, and some missing artwork, this really bought back some wonderful memories. Also, I didn't think it could happen, but my heart warmed up with joyfulness. It's like that smell that brings back good memories of a great time you had.Please make more arcade ported versions! I want a complete arcade!Asteroids (with a trackball please)Centipede (with a trackball please)Super PacManFroggerMr. Do!Mr. Do's CastleBurger TimeDonkey KongDonkey Kong Jr.Donkey Kong 3and more! more! more! now!:)

I had to get one of these since Pacman was big back in my day. I already knew it was super small and tiny and controlling it wasn't going to be easy so I won't give bad reviews for those. I had to play the game with my glasses removed...because I needed a very up close view of the screen! It is tricky to manipulate the tiny joystick, but once you play it long enough, you will get the hang of it. Ghosts move slow, that's ok, you can play longer! I scored 40,500 on my first game out of the box. It's something I won't play marathon games on, looks nice displayed. It's a curiosity object and would surprise people to know that it actually plays the game. Once in a while I'll play a game for fun. I wish in this case the joystick was centered on the console and the buttons on either side. That way both left & right handers can feel comfortable with it. What's nice is the original artwork for the side panels and front panel are like the original game. Sound is ok. The siren background sound remains constant throughout the maze, doesn't increase in pitch the more dots you eat. Has a keychain attached, but I wouldn't attach keys to it though and haul it around, could get dinged up and possibly broken.

They are happy.
