Tiny Arcade Pac-Man 3.5" Mini Retro Game - Functional Arcade Cabinet w/ Real Gameplay & Sounds - Classic Game Fits in the Palm of Your Hand (Ages 8+)

I recently decided to give this mini Pac-Man game a try. I am an old-school child of the 80s, and I have a full-sized arcade machine of Pac Man, so I am well aware of how the real game plays. This little game is darned close to the original, and overall is an amazing and fun little device for the money. And when I say little, I mean it is less than 4 inches tall and literally has a key-ring on the back (but I removed that as it really is too big to serve as a keyring, but just realize that the buttons and joystick on this thing are tiny, but they do work). Note that there are several 1 star reviews; most of these are unhappy about the small size, but the dimensions are in the description of the product (and again, part of the appeal IS the small size). What I love: - The game is recreated (or mostly likely just ported) over accurately, including the levels, different "fruits" on different levels, and even the cut screens. - The screen is very bright and sharp; the resolution could be a little better, but it is so tiny that overall it looks great and very much like the actual arcade version. - The cabinet design is nice and colorful; even when the machine is off it makes a nice little conversation piece. - It uses 3 AAA batteries that are accessible and replaceable from the back by removing one screw, so this unit in theory should last a very long time if treated gently. - Despite the tiny size, it really is playable! However, it isn't perfect, so if you are an arcade snob or perfectionist, here are a few issues: - Playability is good, but the game play feels slightly slower than the original on earlier levels, and much slower on the more advanced levels. I can play this game almost indefinitely without dying. - High scores are not stored after you turn off the game. - Joystick placement is not consistent with the original game (but now we are really nitpicking). - Volume is not adjustable and there is no "mute" (makes it tough to play in the office!). But overall it is a neat little collectible and a perfect gift for anyone who loves arcade games from the 80s; again, this is an amazing little device for the money.

I had to get one of these since Pacman was big back in my day. I already knew it was super small and tiny and controlling it wasn't going to be easy so I won't give bad reviews for those. I had to play the game with my glasses removed...because I needed a very up close view of the screen! It is tricky to manipulate the tiny joystick, but once you play it long enough, you will get the hang of it. Ghosts move slow, that's ok, you can play longer! I scored 40,500 on my first game out of the box. It's something I won't play marathon games on, looks nice displayed. It's a curiosity object and would surprise people to know that it actually plays the game. Once in a while I'll play a game for fun. I wish in this case the joystick was centered on the console and the buttons on either side. That way both left & right handers can feel comfortable with it. What's nice is the original artwork for the side panels and front panel are like the original game. Sound is ok. The siren background sound remains constant throughout the maze, doesn't increase in pitch the more dots you eat. Has a keychain attached, but I wouldn't attach keys to it though and haul it around, could get dinged up and possibly broken.

I added a magnet and stuck it to my fridge in my vintage bar. Makes for a great conversation piece and it goes with all the other retro items in my bar. It is the REAL game ROM. So cool.

It is tiny and plays pac-man. Cool novelty. Marquee lights up. Fun. Wish I could find the Frogger one.

Yes if you just gotta have it get it. But it's over priced. It's too small , even if you have normal sized hands it's too small for you.

This has the look of the arcade and the authentic sounds as well, with full color and contrast on a screen that resembles the arcade original, which are all very important qualities, so you don't feel like you're playing an NES port version or a low quality knock off, but I'd say 99% similar to the arcade original with 1% off for the tiny size required to fit into the screen as well as the only flaw, the ghosts move slower than in the arcade version, so the game is on the easy side, which I honestly don't mind considering how tiny the game is. Even so, it's very playable and the tiny size is a major part of its appeal. I find it easy to play with the left thumb, which controls Pac-Man really well. The controls are tight and responsive, so I feel 100% in control of Pac-Man as he moves through the maze. Like the original, there is only one maze in the classic Pac-Man, but it does include the cutscenes with music. I'm very impressed by this Tiny Arcade series, and putting these next to each other, side by side in the dark, it looks and sounds like you shrunk the arcade cabinets down to about 3.5 inches tall. Amazing.

I bought a couple of these mini-arcade cabinet games for Christmas. I figured that even if they were flimsy, they'd be interesting to take apart or use in other electronics or audio projects. I shouldn't have worried. They're build really well for their size, and the tiny controls respond cleanly to touch and motion without feeling like they're going to break or fail. The sound is correct, the cabinet lights up just like the real arcade classic, and the gameplay is smooth and clean. There's no way in the world I'd ever be able to get two full-size arcade cabinets into my house without making a mess, but thanks to these miniature cabinets, I can have all the fun without any of the hassle. The portability factor is also great, they pack easily. I wish it had a jack for earphones/headphones, but I can add that myself in the future if I feel like it. I absolutely recommend this Tiny Arcade Pac-Man Miniature Arcade game!

I absolutely love mine. I had a Miss Pac-Man before and it finally started to glitch after 5 years. This is actually more accurate than some of the larger ones. This one is a key chain! How crazy?!?!

Well made and a lot of fun to play. Ordered the rest of the set from seller. Audio - Clear and bit on the loud side. No audio off button. Picture - Vivid and easy to see despite its small size. Controles - Work well but my thumbs are way to big.

Excelente reproducción de la "maquinita" clásica de Pac-Man. Me gusta cómo los laterales de la máquina son tan coloridos y llenos de detalle; quizás habría sido mejor que le quitaran el llavero ya que luce mejor en una repisa o como decoración en mi escritorio. La pantalla es de buena calidad y el sonido es fantástico. Un tanto incómodo para jugar pero aún así es un digno artículo de colección.

Stuart Ashen had one of these on one of his YouTube videos and I got it for my partner's birthday - it's got all the levels and sounds and is great fun. The screen is about 1x1 inches, though, so not one for those who need but haven't got glasses!

Se trata de una Maquinita árcade con el mítico pacman. Consta de una pequeña pantalla y unos mini botones y un mini joystick. Pensaba que sería injugable pero los peques juegan sin problemas. Eso si. Como tengas las manos un poco grandes olvídate. Esta pensado para niños. Viene en formato llavero para poder colgarlo. El mayor lo lleva colgado de la cartera y de vez en cuando se da un vicio jejeje. La construcción del cacharrin la verdad que está muy lograda. Para lo pequeña que es esta bien hecha. Hace que la tiene más de 6 meses y sigue como el primer día. Por lo que cuesta es una buena compra. La recomiendo sin duda. El servicio de Amazon de 10 como siempre

このシリーズを知って、一気に揃えてしまいました。 外見もリアルで、このサイズで実際に遊べるのは素晴らしいです。 ただ、筐体に貼られたシールが以外と雑な物が多いのが残念。 自分で綺麗に位置を決めて貼りたい(苦笑)。
