3.0 out of 5 stars Fun, but could stand to be more functional, January 27, 2008

I wanted this because Pac & Pal and Pac-Man Plus have never been released on consoles, so these Jakks plug n play controllers are the only way to get them at home. This one is a better deal than Jakks Super Pac-Man TV Game, since it has all its games and all the ones from the first Jakks Pac-Man PnP. The games all seem to play well and are pretty accurate to the arcade originals.

The problem I have with it is the joystick. It doesn't move as smoothly as it ought to, and it feels like it could break if you're a little too rough with it (though mine hasn't, so I could just be overreacting).

5.0 out of 5 stars Takes me back to 1983, April 2, 2008

This is so much fun. And it is just boring enough that you are not going to get addicted to Atari again like you did in 1983. This is a great gift for those friends who grew up in the 80s. No complaints. Fun toy.
Oh, I think this has a limited audience though. Don't try to give this to a 10 year old today, they will laugh at you.

This review is from: Jakks Pac-Man Gold TV Game (Toy)

I was hoping the old patterns worked, but no such luck. It is tough to relearn everything from scratch. Three weeks and the wife just beat my high score today, now at 29,000. It has brought a lot of fun into a house with 4 computers, PS, PS2, GameCube, XBox, & XBox360. I already bought a second one of these as a spare, just in case the first should break. As we were teens in the 80's, we love this game. Throw on your favorite 80's Pop or Hair band and have fun all night!!!
