Imagine bringing these back to the 70's/80's

[ClassicGameHacking]

At least they are FAR better than TIGER games :D

[IronMadden]

I own four of these cabinets (did not know about Galaga, Dig Dug or Frogger until just now), and I will say that it is simply more of a novelty to have. A cool little collectible for those interested in retro arcade games. They definitely feel like they were different builds from the original, but they can still be fun to mess around with on occasion.

I would definitely like to grab the other three cabinets I didn't find. I found the four I own at Toys R Us last year, but they've been appearing at Walmart as of late. I might check back again to see if I can round off the series.

At Christmas, these can double as ornament gifts. They are awesome.

It would be cool to have a bunch of these decorating a game room, just running through their attract screens.

Now I can get my hamster to be a gamer! 😂

The Frogger music being different is a license issue. As it's also different on the Bridge Direct mini Frogger arcades as well. As far as the last ghost in Pac-Man not coming out, That is normal behavior as when you have eaten half(or more) of the screen of pellets and you die, then continue the board, if there isn't enough pellets left to eat, the 4th will stay in its box. Try it out on mame. These are based off of the original arcade rom. (minus the frame rate issue of course). Thanks for the review!

Regarding Frogger - no re-releases use the original music, because the ones in the original arcade release and early home release were taken from other sources and used without permission. One is a Japanese children's song, and two others are from anime. All are still under copyright.

Just ordered the Ms.Pac-Man one for my wife, the Dig Dug one was temporarily out of stock. But upon doing so, I came across a competitor brand called My Arcade that puts out a 6", palm-sized variation of a tiny arcade machine, except they offer Burgertime, Bad Dudes & Karate Champ as other titles besides the classic Namco games. I was thinking I'd love to see you do a side-by-side comparison video review on BOTH brands to see which is the TRUE arcade experience in the palm of your hands. What do you think?

[jamesesterline]

Try buying all of them and then growing them like in Ant Man.

These are some neat looking mini arcades, but from a practicality stand point I'd stick with the Game Boy versions of the games. I'm not knocking Rerez for liking them, I do think they're neat display items (I have a Pac-Man one and Galaxian one myself because I love both of those games) but I meant if you're want to sit down and play one of those games just for fun then the Game Boy versions are great for it.

[rolingthunder]

regarding frogger, they probably changed the music because of licencing issues. in the original arcade version and some of it's contemporary ports, the game start music was a cover of the japanese childrens song "inu no amawari san" which was written in the 1960s.

Pretty cool stuff! And for some people the reduced resolution only adds to their charm

[thiagovidal]

I don’t think they are meant to be played anyway. The fact they are playable is awesome enough. I have them all and they are sitting on my shelf as decorative pieces. Turning them all on and leave them playing their demo is so awesome.

[stevenwheat]

They're mainly for novelty purposes .

Looks cool on a shelf. I have 3 of em.

But if I wanna play, I'll fire up my mame

[Cyko..]

I started collecting these recently because I love how the cabinet looks and the marquee lights up. Pole Position is pretty neat because it has a tiny steering wheel instead of a joystick and it says, "Prepare to qualify." when you start a race. I love it. Pac-Man is great. Tetris is great, has the original music. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Not so much. Cabinet looks awesome, but the gameplay is horrendous. I still like it, but it's like a 2 out of 5 for me.

[ZRtheHedgehog]

Just think playing Street Fighter on one of those Tiny Arcades

[Retro]

I'm not certain as technical details are hard to find for these, but displays of this size usually rely on an IC2 or SPI interface which is fairly slow. They're usually intended for Smart watches or little embedded displays. That's probably what's limiting the framerate as all of these seem to be about the same. I think it's ok though. They're amazing pieces of technology honestly. A replica arcade machine that plays something close to arcade game, miniaturized to just a couple a inches tall and all for 15 bucks.

My wife got me one (Ms Pacman) back in December, I like it! Good coverage Shane

Can you do reviews of mobile gamepads? Like Ipega, Moga, and Gamesir. You would be surprised how unique they can be.
