Fantastic device with more games than expected

Bought for my 9 year old son who is very fond of "retro games" which I grew up with. It has a few games that surprised me because I was only expecting Pacman. I think I misread the description but I was pleasantly surprised. It works great, just plug and play and that's it! My TV is a few years old so I was worried it wouldn't work but I had no problems. Some reviewers complained that it was difficult to hold. I didn't have the problem at all. I held the flat side lightly with my left hand…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Doubtful

Neither good nor bad

I don't like it, but I don't hate it either. It's not as good as the mid-2000s Ms. Pacman plug-n-play that now sells for over $100. This is a cheaper alternative if you want to play Pacman, Galaga, Mappy and Xevious on your TV. In addition to these games, there are 4 other versions of Pacman, as well as Dig-Dug, an updated version of Galaga and Bosconian. Technically, there are more games on this console than on Ms. Pacman, but these games are very similar to each other. Pole Position, which…

  • Amazing
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Neat retro device

Bought this as a gift but still had time to play with it. For anyone looking to go back to the old school or want to relive the old school games, this is for you. It has a small but decent selection of games, including several different Pac-Man games. Although the item contains some images, I always found it very small. boy was i wrong! This gaming device is quite large and not very comfortable to hold unless you place it on a small table or desk. Since it has right angles and edges, if you…

  • Free for educational purposes

  • Empty

Good for the price, but questionable joystick.

I bought this mainly because I wanted to play Super Pac-Man and it was cheaper than any copy of Namco Museum Volume 2 for PS1 (the only other compilation I know of with the game) . I think for $16 I got my money's worth, but as many others have pointed out, the joystick is fine. The joystick feels pretty loose, which isn't great for any form of Pac-Man that requires precise maneuvering. In addition, the stick makes a clearly audible click with every movement, which makes me think of the…

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • Negative is present

Works well but difficult to use

I got the 5-in-1 Jakks Plug and Play Ms Pac-Man (is it selling insanely over $150 now?) when it went to came out for the first time, mainly for Galaga. With age and new technologies, that no longer works. I've seen this work well on newer widescreen TVs so I decided to buy it. It contains seven other games, which is good, but I'm only going to play Galaga. And possibly Galaxian since he is there. Connection is via the same RCA component jacks, one for video and one for audio, but in widescreen…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Frequency
