Review on Quarter Arcades Official Cabinet Numskull by Chris Lacasse

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Funny but not perfect

I ordered one of these for Christmas a few years ago and had to send it back because the joystick didn't work. I love old slot machines and even restore and build my own slot machines. This is unique because of its size. I tried again and this time the joystick works. So playable? Yes, it even works with a tiny joystick and the screen is nice and sharp. It almost takes me back to when I was 13 when I bought a Coleco desktop mini version of PAC MAN. The Numbskull version is much better, but Pac Man was still in arcades back then and it was special to have him at home. I am happy with the purchase this time. The sound isn't perfect, and I wonder if the processor isn't quite up to the task. I find that MiSTer is still the best way to play Pac Mant at home if you don't have a real one.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Damaged
