Picked this up for my son. I remembered a plethora of such devices back in the early 80's (I had a Pac-Man watch!). This performs well enough for the price and intended use. Don't expect much though, this is simply a fun 15 minutes.

I remember one day, I happen to find this hanging around in a GameStop. I bought it because, hey, it's Pac-Man (I don't think I bought it at THESE prices, though). But as you play it, it's not only Pac-Man. It's Pac-Man reprogrammed faithfully onto an LCD screen on a handheld miniature arcade machine.

The model design is another reason why I bought this. As I've already mentioned twice, it's a mini arcade machine. You can find Pac-Man machines in a lot of arcades. However, how would you like to have your own portable one? And not only that, but how about for the cost of about $40? Okay, maybe that is asking for a little much, considering it's a standalone version of Pac-Man, but it mimics the life-size machines, complete with joystick and a couple buttons for options.

The game itself is pure Pac-Man. Even though it's replicated onto an LCD screen, nothing has changed. You must eat all the dots, while being chased by ghosts, but you can get Power Pellets to eat up the ghosts. Is that a bad thing? OF COURSE NOT! It's Pac-Man! How can you go wrong with that yellow muncher??? The game is fun and addicting, even in today's standards.

I purchased this item and loved it. Then I looked more online where I can get similiar and older types of handheld games. I found this one website called ElectronicHandHelds.com. This place has over 1,500 inventory of every classic arcade game that I was looking for. I definitely suggest you buy this item and check out;

I was very excited to receive this toy, when it arrived batteries were placed and the controller which is seperate in the packaging was put in place. The game powered on but the contoller does not work. Now we have a worthless game.

This game is perfect. Works well and gives hours of fun!!!
