I own four of these cabinets (did not know about Galaga, Dig Dug or Frogger until just now), and I will say that it is simply more of a novelty to have. A cool little collectible for those interested in retro arcade games. They definitely feel like they were different builds from the original, but they can still be fun to mess around with on occasion. I would definitely like to grab the other three cabinets I didn't find. I found the four I own at Toys R Us last year, but they've been appearing at Walmart as of late. I might check back again to see if I can round off the series.

But upon doing so, I came across a competitor brand called My Arcade that puts out a 6", palm-sized variation of a tiny arcade machine, except they offer Burgertime, Bad Dudes & Karate Champ as other titles besides the classic Namco games. I was thinking I'd love to see you do a side-by-side comparison video review on BOTH brands to see which is the TRUE arcade experience in the palm of your hands. What do you think?

The Frogger music being different is a license issue. As it's also different on the Bridge Direct mini Frogger arcades as well. As far as the last ghost in Pac-Man not coming out, That is normal behavior as when you have eaten half(or more) of the screen of pellets and you die, then continue the board, if there isn't enough pellets left to eat, the 4th will stay in its box. Try it out on mame. These are based off of the original arcade rom. (minus the frame rate issue of course). Thanks for the review!

These are some neat looking mini arcades, but from a practicality stand point I'd stick with the Game Boy versions of the games. I'm not knocking Rerez for liking them, I do think they're neat display items (I have a Pac-Man one and Galaxian one myself because I love both of those games) but I meant if you're want to sit down and play one of those games just for fun then the Game Boy versions are great for it.

Pole Position is pretty neat because it has a tiny steering wheel instead of a joystick and it says, "Prepare to qualify." when you start a race. I love it. Pac-Man is great. Tetris is great, has the original music. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Not so much. Cabinet looks awesome, but the gameplay is horrendous. I still like it, but it's like a 2 out of 5 for me.

Can confirm these little arcades are built to last. Well, for what it's made out of being rather cheap plastic. Bought the Mrs.Pac-Man version for my Mom for Xmas years ago. It still sits in their garage on the work table. Covered in dust and probably random oil speckles ect? For sure. Does it still fire up and run just fine? Definitely. Obviously don't drop them or abuse the machine. These are just a cute collectable with a bonus being able to play the game considering the form factor.

I only ever opened the MsPacman one being that it was my first but I think I'll keep the rest of them boxed. Hopefully they will be worth money some time in the future. But mainly for collecting purposes. I have plenty of other platforms that play these same games anyway.

I'm not certain as technical details are hard to find for these, but displays of this size usually rely on an IC2 or SPI interface which is fairly slow. They're usually intended for Smart watches or little embedded displays. That's probably what's limiting the framerate as all of these seem to be about the same. I think it's ok though. They're amazing pieces of technology honestly. A replica arcade machine that plays something close to arcade game, miniaturized to just a couple a inches tall and all for 15 bucks.

Playback issues aside, the music in Frogger is likely different because I remember reading that Sega/Konami never licensed the rights to the use the song in the original arcade version (which was subsequently used in the Atari 2600 version as well). The rights holder eventually claimed copyright, so reproduced versions of Frogger ever since no longer have the song. This is most noticeable in the version of Frogger that is included in at least one iteration of the Atari Flashback consoles, Instead of providing the original Frogger game ROM that Parker Bros. originally released, It has a somewhat "upgraded" version of Frogger with no music.
