I have been searching high and low for this for a long time. Until now, could only find used ones, or if they were still in the package, very expensive. My sister loves Pac Man, and I was more than glad to get it for her. It has a lot of other games too. Seems very well made. So easy to install, your mother could do it. If you like the retro arcade games, then this is the one for you.

I love the latest edition of the retro arcade plug and play. The joystick and buttons are much better than previous versions. I only wish Ms Pacman was included.

I loved this game collection, and there are twelve in all. This has a great joystick, though it made my hand tired. The games are all awesome, and fun. It's great for parties and for kids.

I do have one complaint, though.

It's very close to the logic of Pacman, but it has different logic than the arcade version of Pacman. In the arcade, the orange ghost follows random patterns that are close to you but isn't chasing you directly, but in this version, the orange ghost chases you directly.

It does visually resemble Pacman exactly, but the ghost's logic is off. If you're just playing for fun or getting this for your grandkids, nobody will notice. But if you're trying to beat some world records on Pacman, then this product will probably throw your game off.

All of the games are:
*Pacman
*Galaga
*Galaxian
*Dig Dug
*Pole Position
*Super Pac-Man
*Pac-Man Plus
*Pac & Pal
*Xevious
*Bosconian
*New Rally X
*Mappy

Pros:
+All of the games appear to be a faithfully cloned, except Pacman
+Has a lot of old 80s games
+Lots of Pac-games
+Good, solid hardware

Cons:
-Isn't a true clone of the regular Pacman artificial intelligence
-There is only one audio out, so you either need a splitter, or sound will only play from only one side of your television

Very nice game for the price. The build quality is a lot better than the older versions. The joystick and buttons give you the arcade feel. Unfortunately theres no Ms. Pac Man but I can overlook that on account of theres basically everything else on here including other pac man versions. If you like these games this is well worth the money.

I was hesitant to order this because of the joystick. My husband is the greatest test on 'tough' of any thing. I want to tell you, this little machine is a tough little bugger. Well built. I watched him attack this all night tonight, and it held up surprisingly well. I'm impressed. If it only holds up to his abuse for a few months, I will still purchase another one. It survived his trial-run. Great product for the fun memories. The joy on his face -- Priceless.

Great fun just like the old days when games were less intense but fun . Recieved game right away from seller in orgl. pkg. Would recommend even for the new kids on the block.

I really enjoy this game. Simply plug into your tv, and its just like u remember at the acarde! I only wish it had centipied also, I bought another game with that and it was NOTHING like the old centipied! This pacman is true to what you remember and you'll really enjoy it. The other games are also fun!

pacman is as legendary as superman.gobble the dots to enter the next level while avoiding the ghost monsters.there are 12 other games as well such as the classic, pole position, or the crazy mousey like game mappy.great fun for all ages.the joystick brings tear like memories to my eyes.a must for collectors or just something to pass the time. this will do it.the games are all arcade quality so its just how you remember them.5 stars for all games except bosconion.

We used this for an Office Party recently and it was a huge hit. I love the portability of this unit and the price was very reasonable.

This is a fun game. Brings back the joy stick feeling of the stand up games from the 80's. Really enjoy this and so do my teenage kids!!!
