Pac-Man Miniature Arcade Game

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.

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
