Splatterhouse deserved it's own mini arcade cabinet with the 3 or 4 classic games on a proper 4:3 screen, having to play those games with such limitations on the aspect ratio it's a bit of a deal breaker 😢 Great review, thanks for going through all the games ❤

I really want one of these especially for the variety of games that it contains on it And the overall design of it Looks especially amazing I own the my arcade versions of Ms Pac-Man and regular Pac-Man so this will make for a worthwhile addition to my collection of Pac-Man merchandise even though this unit contains more then just Pac-Man titles on it what really surprises me is that Pac-Man 2 the new adventures is one of included games on this particular unit I wonder what version of the game this unit uses ? Also nice to hear that in terms of the arcade tiles included on this unit they all sound accurate to how the actual arcade machines sounded Witch is definitely a good thing

I really think there would have been better choices instead of this mediocre SNES/Genesis game: Gaplus, Galaga'88, Rally-X, Bosconian, Pac-Land, Metro-Cross, Motos... just to name a few. I understand that they couldn't add Pole Position or Final Lap because of the controllers.
@unconbentional2044 4 жыл бұрын
I have one. The audio and video emulation are excellent, the speakers are nice and loud, and the display looks great. To me, the weakest point is the controller. A dpad with a joystick screwed in just isn't very comfortable or precise, especially for a game like pacman. Perhaps someone will come up with a way to mod it with a better joystick.

Most games on here are in fact 100% arcade ROMS. I know because I just purchased one of these machines yesterday. Now, I say most as a few of them were never released in the arcades at all and those games are...Pac Man 2 The New Adventures (Genesis...I think), Rolling Thunder 3 (Genesis), and Splatter House 2 (Genesis). This mini cabinet is very nice and is headed for my desk at work on Monday. Addendum- I grew up playing these games in the arcade in the 1980's and 1990's. Not only can you tell these are arcade games by their incredible graphics (for the time) but their sound is also well beyond what even the 16-bit machines did in many cases. Phelios for example features full rotation, scaling, sprite warping, and 0 slowdown. The fully functional coin button is also a dead give away that these are not Nes ROMS.

My Arcade Gaming website has a few other products, including a retro gaming system... don't think it includes namco titles, though. There might be other options for that. If you have a Nintendo Switch, you can buy the Namco Museum app, and then play that as either handheld, tabletop or on TV. I bought a switch just for retro gaming. Nintendo also have bundles to play all the NES and Super NES games. In terms of retro gaming, the Switch is actually pretty good value.
