Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fun, but probably wont last
My only complaints about this game is that the controller isnt very sensitive. It is hard to get Pacman to move where you want it to (especially up and down). I wish also that they wouldve put more of the better games on one system. I am enjoying the games, but I doubt the controller will be durable.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Ms. Pacman, #2, Mappy, #1!
you may like pacman and ms. pacman, but they don't deserve the place of the star game. play mappy! it's so cool!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - What happened to the sound in Galaxian...?
What happened to the sound in Galaxian...? They totlaly messed it up. The bulet sound is just plain wrong and there's no woo-woo background noise. The game plays ok, it's just the sound that puts me off.

Pacman seems pretty authentic but the other three are dross (depending on your wiewpoint - some people like Dig Dug, I never did).

$18 is cheap enough not to complain too much but I wish they'd put the "good" games from their two sticks in a single unit and sold it for $40. I'd be a lot happier.

Oh, and fix the Galaxian sound.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - loved it but doesn't hold up well
Our whole family loved playing the games. However, about a month into owning the game the push button on the games quit working. Thinking we had a defected game we bought a new one and the same thing happend. We are on our 3rd one and fear that it will be short-lived as well.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - good collection, but I was very disappointed by Bosconian
The collection should have been good, but the versions of the games are not the exact arcade versions, so they just don't feel right. Bosconian is the worst offender. I was going to buy this gadget just because it had Bosconian, which was one of my favorite games when I was a kid. However, when I finally found a place that had one connected to a TV, I discovered that it was a console version! It had no speech, the ships were out of scale (the bases weren't huge compared to ships), the sound effects were weak, and (as I recall) it didn't even have squadron bonuses or mystery ships. Although I played Pac-Man briefly, I was disappointed by it as well.

If this toy was re-released with emulated versions of the original ROMs instead of the console versions, I would definitely buy it and give it 4 or 5 stars, because it would be a true sample of arcade history.
