Data East Hits Micro Player

The games are definitely fun and the control stick and the shape of the mini cabinet feels and looks like the full scale!

As a longtime MAME enthusiast and custom arcade cabinet modder and builder, I was pleasantly surprised with the My Arcade Data East Hits Micro Player with 308 games. The games are all playable, it has a usb-c port for power without batteries, using four AA batteries lasts a LONG time, it has volume buttons and a headphone jack. It's also tough. We got this three years ago for our at the time four-year-old and it's withstood dropping and rough use (he did peel off the marquee sticker at some point). The packaging is very nice and if you are purchasing as a collectable and want to keep it NIB, it will look nice on your shelf with rest of your sadly non-played My Arcade units. The game selection isn't an all-star lineup of arcade greats, with a lot of weird titles mixed in, but it was interesting to play games I've never seen and my kids didn't care if they were big in the 80's or not. Pro-tip: To power on the arcade, PUSH IN the little fake coin insert box below the control panel. You may want to also apply a tiny bit of Loctite to the joystick screw or just take it off...or superglue it in, if you really want it to stay. Due to size, I found some of the games more playable without the joystick and just using the D-Pad, but YMMV. At $30, it's well worth the price for potentially thousands of hours of gameplay for gamers young and old.

Item arrived quickly, well packaged and is exactly as described. Thank you

Well I have a few of these micro arcade and this one I thought was interesting cuz it came with a couple titles, that are available on solo units.. and it came with a bunch of extra bonus games (which turned out to be all terrible hence the four-star review)

La verdad me gustó bastante para lo que es, es un pequeño arcade muy curioso que brinda buen entretenimiento a la hora de jugar sus múltiples juegos. Aunque solo los primeros 8 son con licencia y los otros "250" son versiones genéricas de 8-bits, si no eres muy exigente se disfrutan bastante para pasar el rato o mantener como un juguete de escritorio. No me terminó de convencer a primera vista el plástico con el que está hecha la máquina, ha probado ser bastante duradera. La cruceta, aunque a veces no muy precisa con los movimientos, me gusta la sensación de hacer clic al igual que sus botones A y B. A comparación de los precios de éste tipo de arcades que había logrado ver en otros lados, se me hizo buena oferta por lo que es. Definitivamente lo recomendaría como un regalo para un aficionado de los videojuegos en cualquiera de sus diseños.
