For those of us who have a bar with an LCD or small tube TV, this wireless product works great as a tabletop arcade. Looks fine on a 13" or larger screen, though the text can be a bit fuzzy (but the graphics look fine). Lots of fun with friends over a few beers or cocktails.

This game is for kids in preschool, and I don't think that even they will like it. This game has 101 games of pure crap. I played it less than an hour and after that, I knew I'd been had. I like the idea to try and compact several games into one system but, man... whats the point if they all suck? ... 101 games and you'd think that you'd find at lest one of them you'd like. You know games like; Mario, Pong, or somethin' along those lines. Instead they put in a game that is obviously a ripoff of battleship except that its called "submarine war", it's just like battleship except there all submarines, oh and the CPU launches 4 bombs at a time while you stuck with one, and no you can't urn them either, the sound is repetitive to the point where you put it on mute. Another one called "wondering bunny" where the background is strait off of Mario 2, and the bunny looks like Yoshi, and no to don't eat, you just spit fire. I can go on and on, but that is just the tip of the iceberg.

The company is called "dreamGear", well you'd think that they'd dream up some better names for these poor games that rip'd from, or better games at all.

product works without any problems. Based on the previous reviews i read in amazon, I expected lot from this product. But this is very ordinary. Games are not interesting at all. Not sure if kids will like this or not. I personally did not like the games.

HOW THE HECK DOES THIS WORK ?
1. CONTROLLER NOT AS REFINED AS IT COULD BE.
2. MOVEMENTS FROM JOYSTICK TO REACTION OF GAME ICON TOO SLOW AT TIMES.
3. NO ICONS ON THE CONTROL PAD WHAT-SO-EVER. SO U KEEP PUSHING BUTTONS ON THE JOYSTICK, HOPING TO GET LUCKY. EACH GAME ALSO USES DIF BUTTONS CONTROLS IN DIFF ORDER. ITS AGGRAVATING AS HE**
4. MFG LACK OF SUPPORT OR CONCERN. I CALED THE MFG AND A RUDE GIRL SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANY EITHER. WELL HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT THE CONTROL BUTTONS DO IF THEY ARE NOT EVEN LABELED ? THE SALES PERSON SAID " I DON'T KNOW "
5. BY THE TIME YOU START GETTING THE HANG OF ONE GAME, YOU'VE MADE MISTAKES, SO ITS GAME OVER, AND YOU START OVER. THATS A CRAPPY WAY TO LEARN AND ITS TOO TIME CONSUMING AND FRUSTRATING. ITS JUST NOT FUN.
6. FOR A COUPLE DOLLARS MORE THEY SHOULD INCLUDE AN INSTRUCT. SECTION.
MAYBE ITS OK FOR A 5 YR OLD TOO KEEP 'EM BUSY, FOR ME--NOT SO MUCH. I WOULD DEFINITELY NOT BUY ONE ANOTHER OF THESE. ITS JUST NOT FUN BEING FRUSTRATED !
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY A MORE SOPHISTICATED UNIT.
