This is a perfect example of a product that looks great in the store and completely STINKS when you take it out of the box and actually use it at home.
In theory, I love it: all my fave old games in one nice tiny package and oh so cheap!
In reality, the joystick is ABSOLUTE JUNK, and this is what ruins the whole gaming experience. The graphics and sound effects are very decent, but what's the point if the controls are constantly screwing you up? The joystick is totally sticky, random, imprecise and with a mind all its own. Even worse, there is no comfortable or effective way of using it since the bottom of the joystick is one big clunky square box housing the actual game console...maybe if you nailed the darn thing down to a wooden board with some U-brackets it might work, but holding it in my left palm while moving the joystick and fire button with my right was a biomechanical nightmare.
Also keep in mind that unlike the original Atari consoles that had AC adapters, these clunky all-in-the-lousy-joystick devices are battery operated...better invest in some rechargeable ones!

...there's one drawback other than the behavior of the ghosts...SOUND! 3 of the games have inaccurate sound. Pac-Man's intro music is in a slightly lower key(I can tell, I take piano lessons). The eating sound isn't the best "wacka wacka" I've heard. Dig Dug's music is VERY different. Galaxian's sound is the same concept,but different sound. The ones I'm not sure about are Rally X and Bosconian. I've never seen the original versions. If you're not picky about sound(and what Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde do), enjoy!

the only weakness is the joystick action is not like the full size video game, but it works well enough to play a good game.

I bought this for my young brother and it worked once, after that when he tried to play it it would work for about 2 mintues and then turn the TV fuzzy so u could not see it. Afterwards I found out this had happened to several people who had bought this item. If u buy i hope it works.

Ummm... There really isn't much to say. It does exactly what it says. Five games, all of them are good. Good battery life. However Dig Dug No longer has demo animations. But the games are all still fun and then controls are responsive. So who cares. It's good old nostalgic fun
