Micro Arcade Pacman, Multi

This thing is seriously the size of a credit card and about as thick as three or four credit cards. An on and off switch and a switch for volume off and on. Great quality! Love that it’s rechargeable.. I got it for my five-year-old son, and another one for my 12 year-old nephew… they both loved it, but my nephew doesn’t stop raving about it!!

I already bought the Tetris version of this game and I loved it so I decided to buy the packman version and I'm so glad I did! Its super small so you can put it in your purse/pack pack and play it whenever I love that its recharge able (a charger from dollar tree will work on it too). The only thing I would say is that the screen is not very good quality so its kind of hard to see but I got used to it! Also a great Birthday gift, both girls and boys would love this.

This is a great little handheld. I just got this today and my kids got to play with it for a few rounds and had a great time! The controls are surprisingly easy. The screen while being low resolution is still clear enough to play. I like the simplicity of the design. It makes it easy to put in a backpack or keep in a small box for storage. I got this on sale for $16 and feel like it was priced very well. I'm thinking about getting the Tetris one now. With all that said, I do have a few complaints. As others have said, it doesn't save the high score. This is kind of a bummer since it would be nice to have some family competition. I might create a score board that we keep and manually keep score. Another complaint is while the controls are easy to use, they are a bit clicky. My final complaint is the sound is a bit much. It's very chirpy and not pleasant on the ears. All in all a great simple machine and would recommend.

I really like this Pac-Man game. Think it's more of the nes game then arcade. You can hack it to get more games out of it but I did not. Really didn't want to mess it up.

Love my little pac man game! It’s a convenient size to carry anywhere you go playing your favorite old school game! I bought it to take to Universal to play while waiting in long lines not wanting to carry something big, heavy, or expensive in case i lost/broke it and this fit nicely in my fanny pack and no causalities occurred! The downside is it is small so be prepared for squinting if your eyesight isn’t good but I’m going to enjoy my moments of wrinkles playing one of my fondest games of all time and maybe I’ll eventually admit to needing some glasses lol. It takes a little getting used to small compact buttons too if you’re not a new gamer like me or have big fingers but it it’s easy to use and didn’t take long for me to master it for the most part. I’m adding this to my stocking stuffer list so everyone can have an old game they once enjoyed. I’m going to buy another game right after this 🙂 I may have just convinced myself to buy a set of all these games to be honest lol

The bad: * The screen resolution is way too low and looks blurry, and the game-play gets a bit choppy. * The screen does not look anywhere near as good as the product images online make it seem, which is misleading. * I won't discount it for having very basic sound since that's pretty much in-line with the Arduboy on which this is based and wasn't expecting anything (it does not sound anything like the arcade version). * It does NOT save your high score after powering the unit off. * There is no way to pause the game, and no suspend. * The ghost behavior is definitely NOT the same as the real arcade game. The good: * The lithium battery allows this thing to run basically forever. I have no idea how long you could play this game before it would die. It also charges quickly. * It has a real cool factor for being so tiny that hasn't worn off on me just yet. * I am enjoying the game in little stints here and there, and take pictures of the screen with my phone to save my score. It's more fun than I initially thought it would be. * The size of the unit makes it truly portable -- small enough to throw in your bag and forget it's there. You'll have something to play with after your phone dies and you’ve exhausted all other avenues of distraction. It will be perfect for when you’re stuck in a waiting room or lost in the woods. Other thoughts: I bet the versions with Centipede/Pong/Space Invaders will make better use of the tiny screen. At least I hope so. According to the pamphlet that comes with this device, there is even a Ms. Pac-Man in the pipeline for this series of handhelds. I REALLY REALLY hope a little more horsepower and a better screen goes into that device. This is, IMO, worth $20, hence 3 stars. The thing is, if this thing was vertically oriented, had passable sound, a flat sliding joystick like a 3DS, and a nice big OLED screen running the actual arcade ROM of Pac-Man, I would pay a lot more. This could be the blueprint for the perfect portable Pac-Man device.

these are great, long battery, clear bright screen. no brainer

How about a magnifying lens attachment for all of the micro arcade handhelds? That would be even dumber than an HDMI out, so I'm all for it.
