A look at the tiny but fully functional collectable mini arcade machines.
Available from Amazon US:
Ms Pac Man amzn.to/2AnMWwe
Space Invaders amzn.to/2i7cFR2
Pac Man amzn.to/2jCjURD
Galaxian amzn.to/2jAuSXO
**LINKS: All Amazon/eBay links are Affiliated where possible.**
Pac-Man & Space Invaders can also be found on Amazon UK.
amzn.to/2AuRtx5
Note - if you are thinking of importing to the UK - not all Amazon resellers send outside the US. I used a store called -importcds (if it doesn't default to them, look in the 'Other Sellers' drop-down box in the right-hand column).
Be careful not to confuse these with the various non-playable replicas and inferior games from other manufacturers. These "Tiny Arcade" machines are made by a company called "Super Impulse" and as yet they only make the four machines shown superimpulse.co...
I anticipate I'll get lots of comments stating the 8-Bit Guy did videos on these and whilst he has done a video about mini table top arcade games - they are a lot bigger than these and are made by a different manufacturer. He's a patron on my channel as am I on his, so we get to chat about these things sometimes, and I checked before I started making this video that I wasn't repeating something he'd already covered. Here is a link to his video • Mini Tabletop Arcades ...
UPDATE - I have been informed (in the comments) that these are also available in the UK through the retail chain Menkind. - They also have a website that shows they stock two of the range of four machines (Pac Man & Space Invaders) - here's a link to PacMan www.menkind.co...
You can also find them in the store Red5 in the UK (which MenKind owns)
Update 2 - all four games are contained within each cabinet and can be activated by soldering the appropriate points. Here is a guide t.co/o0FRaGAx9f

A friend of mine has one and he had the issue that it didn't save high scores, so I took it apart, added a 1 farad super capacitor across the battery input and now it saves highscores for up to 8 hours after removing the batteries, would have been nice if they put one in while manufacturing them.

FYI - All four of these use the same exact circuit board. The game playing is done by a jumper setting. So if you were so inclined, you could just by one and still play all four games. There are videos showing how to mod this with an external switch to make it easier, as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNx4n92gmd-vYoE.html

I'm glad you're doing more video game related stuff lately. I know it's a long shot but I hope one day you do vintage console/computer tear-downs and retrospectives. I know there's a million of them already but it's not so much the products as it is the personality of who's presenting it that makes it enjoyable (or not from some peoples perspective I guess). Products that I either have no interest in or have heard about them a million times I still usually enjoy watching if they're put out by one of my favourite content creators. I'd be happy to give you some suggestions! Lol

If Sega did some tiny versions of Outrun and After Burner (complete with the back-lit marquees like these ones) I would be all over those, even it the practicality of playing on a tiny screen with a tiny steering wheel or joystick isn't really ideal.

@RedMageGaming 6 жыл бұрын

and the best part, all four games are on each of them. with just a simple jumper soldered to the board telling it what game to load when powered.

@WalcomS7 6 жыл бұрын

These seem somewhat better than those Arcade Classics mini arcade machines because these actually keep score when those don't, but these don't seem to run at full speed and they're considerably smaller. Hard to say what's the better buy.

@wingwong1910 4 жыл бұрын

I personally found the joystick to be somewhat stiff and hard to operate. On the other hand, as someone else already mentioned, since the motherboard actually contains all four games, if you have a bit of soldering skill you can open it up, and hook up a slider switch so that you can choose which game to activate on power up (you just have to make sure that you buy the model that has the fire button, in my case Space Invaders). It certainly saves you the money of buying the entire set.

@runetech 6 жыл бұрын

I saw a tear-down of a couple of those, and apparently they are all identical. The difference is a jumper on the main board which determines what game will be started. So theoretically you could mount a four-way switch on one and attach it to the jumper-pins and you would have all four games. However, it might have been another version. But worth checking out.

@Diabolos1 6 жыл бұрын

The 8-bit Guy also did a video on these and some vintage ones. These new machines are apparently hackable and may actually contain several games. Game selection can be changed by fiddling with the circuit board inside.

Kmart, Australia, sells three mini arcade machines, from the same range: Pac Man, Galaxian, and Space Invaders. I haven't seen Ms Pac Man, in their stores, but they do have Frogger. They're rather cheap, too, at only AU$20 each! :-) (Although that does add up, quickly) Last year, I bought a "Retro Arcade Machine". It's about the same tiny scale as your machines. This one came with about 300 built-in games. Realistically, about 1/3 are just variations of each other. There's probably about 30 decent games, making the AU$50 price a good deal. I've seen several other multi-game mini arcade machines. I haven't been able to find out what games are in them, though. From their packaging, they seem as if they're like the one I already have, only with different decals and less games.

The units ship with all 4 games built in, but a solder joint across 2 pads determines which game it plays (saves on manufacturing costs). if you remove the link (across pads labelled A B C and D. then wire up 4 wires to the joystick control wires (first 4 nearest the LCD screen ribbon) when you power on with a direction held, you get a game, if you power up without holding a direction, you get a test rom that lets you check the buttons and screen are working (I guess included as part of the manufacturing process).
