Great if you are in your early 30s then you probably were the first to play Pac-Man in the arcade like me. Well this game very inexpensive but if you could have gotten in twenty years ago it would have been thousands of dollars probably. It is very much like the actual game I cannot tell the difference. The big arcade games from the 80's only had 8Mb of ram if you can believe that. Those huge games were less powerful than a graphing calculator today most cameras and cell phones probably have more speed and memory than the old arcade games.

as far as the last persons POST (post's are from the OLDEN days like in the 1980's from the BBS days of fido net mail and so on..
anyway in the previous post the person noted the reset button is in a bad spot whell I never have these problems w these mini games cause like the Atari 1 player paddle in less than 5 minnutes I had it ripped apart to "see HOW BIG THE chip blob of epoxy was and as expected like Atari 400/800 PITFALL 2 it was a epoxy blob ... anyway I expected that!!! but I DID NOT expect a
2 player jumper nor extra pot connections for 2 players!!! this only saved me $5 to $10 and wasted a REAL pair of Atari paddles BUT NONE THE LESS I liked the way they let me modify pretty mutch a discposable game!!! so I would for youre problem TO NOT DAMAGE THE UNIT just take the remote control rubber for the reset button out and leave it inside the case somewhere This will allow you to leave the button intact but keep for later use if you have to reset WHELL USE THE MASTER CLEAR like on a 386 JUST POWER OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. .
LATER AFTER I FINNALY GET A REAL ARCADE cabinet AFTER I PUT A REAL pacman BAORD INTO IT I might make a mod to run a mini game in it if i can figure out how to use r g b.. I might have to replace the arcade monitor w a expensive LCD monitor in the r g b mode IMAGINE playing this game on a mspacman JOYSTIC from HAPP CONTROLS AND ON A 19 inch arcade monitor!!! that would rule. anyway $9.99 is a REAL good deal for a TV game perfect for portabllty.
