Bubble Bobble

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.

My arcade is making some of the best retro gaming systems out especially this one I keep this one on my coffee table and it gets played Non-Stop exactly like when you played it as a youth

As an old school arcade game player, I really appreciate and am grateful for all the hard work the My Arcade team put into this premium edition of their Space Invaders handheld! It duplicates the original Space Invaders experience so very well. Even the semi-reflective space background effect is well replicated here. They also use the original arcade ROM so the play experience is spot on. While the speaker is a little soft, that does not detract from a fantastic experience. This is highly recommended for its build and design quality, original arcade playability, and overall attention to detail. I really hope My Arcade will continue to produce more premium units as they are really great. Sure, the cabinet design is not exactly perfect. You can look into the Numskull's premium effort...and pay 5 times the price for it. But, this is such a great value for what you pay for. Again, highly recommended!

Lots of fun, good graphics, good for smaller kids, a little to small for adults

Works as should. Pretty big too!

I've seen complaints that the game won't work on batteries. Mine works on micro USB or batteries. I tried it on micro USB (no batteries installed), and it worked fine. I installed 3 AA Alkaline batteries, and it worked on batteries alone. Then, I plugged in the micro USB, without removing the batteries, and had no problem. But honestly, I think if you're going to use micro USB power, I'd remove the batteries, just to make sure there's no problem down the road. Many times electronics like one way or the other. The game is as I remember from 40+ years ago, including the sound. My playing definitely has not improved with age! But, it's a lot of fun. I plan to order the Galaga next. It's such a cool game, and a nice miniaturized size.

As a big fan of myarcade and the micro arcade cabinets they have been making, I was looking forward to the release of the premium street fighter cabinet ever since it was first announced. It looks and sounds great, and re-creates an authentic experience from my youth when I would hang out at arcades for hours playing any and all challengers. However, it suffers from a flaw; one that might not be a significant issue in most other games, but is extremely serious in a game like streetfighter which relies on responsive input and the ability to execute precise directional commands: the joystick. After my initial frustration with unresponsive/inconsistent input I opened it up to see if I could determine the problem. The joystick is a + shaped piece of plastic that has 4 arms that extend outwards towards the 4 directional input switches. Unlike a regular joystick which can only tilt from the center, this one sits on top of a small vertically aligned spring; this is what re-centers the stick after movement. Consequently, it only takes a very light nudge to push it in any direction. Motions that involve pulling the stick in a single direction easily result in the stick tilting towards an unwanted direction because the spring offers little directional resistance and only functions to re-center the stick. The largest problem with this design is that there is nothing that prevents the user from pushing down on the stick from above which can result in pressing all 4 directional switches simultaneously. Since the game's rom does not register more than 2 directional inputs at once (ex. up + forward), triggering one of the other 4 inputs by accidentally pressing on the stick results in only the 2 most recent inputs counting while the rest are discarded. This can be observed when trying to perform an input with a rotation: pressing too hard during this motion can trigger one or more extra switches unintentionally, resulting in a portion of the final input being discarded. This is most noticeable when trying to perform a move such as [F->D->D+F] as it will frequently discard the "down" portion of the final input and instead treat your input as though you had pressed [D->D+F->F]. A similar problem occurs when trying to move from [back->forward] or [down->up] quickly, quite often the stick's spring offers too little resistance to prevent nearby inputs from being pressed. Having built my own full-sized arcade stick controllers before, I was familiar with a few different stick designs, but I've yet to see one like this. Given the obvious inherent flaws it doesn't make much sense why they went with this particular design, either. The directional-pad "stick" found on all other myarcade cabinets would have been a lot more responsive. The alternate design was probably supposed to give it a more "authentic" arcade feel, but unfortunately, it greatly limits the playability of the game. Considering the $60-70 price tag attached to it as a premium model, this is kind of unacceptable. I managed to resolve this design flaw for my own micro cabinet by replacing the original spring with one that is slightly longer and considerably stiffer as well as by padding the interior of the stick-base with some soft foam to add extra resistance directly under the stick. I still get the rare unwanted 4-button-stick-press, but it is now much easier to pull the stick in a single direction without accidentally pressing the nearby directions. Without the kind of custom-modifications I made; the bare minimum of which would be replacing the very weak stock spring with a stronger spring, the device is good for little more than indulging nostalgia once or twice before collecting dust on a shelf. Post-modification I consider it well worth the money, but I expect most people won't be interested in tinkering with it the same way. A final thought - I have not observed the kind of frame skips or stuttering that other users have described apart from the slowdowns that occur after chaining multiple hits together in sequence, which is a quirk of the original hit-cancel combo system that was also present in every port of SF-II world warriors or champion edition I can remember. _-Overall recommendations-_ If you are a vintage gaming enthusiast who primarily wants it as a display piece or a collectible: although it's pricey, it looks quite nice and sounds great, and is worth buying. If you are also a serious gamer who wants something that is just as 'playable' as it is 'displayable': you should probably be prepared to make your own modifications. If the gameplay matters to you, but you aren't comfortable with the idea of opening the cabinet and messing with the internal parts: I would strongly advise you to reconsider your purchase.

This brings back a few nostalgic memories. :) Pros: 1) Device itself is very well made. Not flimsy. Great miniature version of a full sized arcade game complete with artwork. 2) Sounds just like the arcade game. Volume control. 3) Display is nice and simulates the arcade game in all it's 16 bit animated glory. 4) Takes 4 AA batteries or micro USB connector for power. I would put a caveat here. If you intend to power it via USB, the user manual says the device takes 5V, 250ma. This amperage is relatively low power. Check your USB power. Most modern USB adaptors use 5V 1A or 5V 2A which will probably fry the electronics of the video game. If your game dies suddenly, this is probably why. I am using an adaptor from an old NON-smart phone. It outputs 5V, 500ma which should be OK. If you have a universal adaptor, you could go down to 5V, 300ma which is better. 5) It cost me $12 and change for this game. I'm guessing the low price is due to people wanting to buy the Galaga version of this game and not buy Galaxian. Cons: None. It's a very good product for this type of video game.

Normal bir makina muamelesi yaparak sert bir şekilde oyun oynamak gibi derdiniz olmasın bu ürün tamamen naif yapıya sahiptir bir köşede durması bile yeterli.

Awesome

Perfect 100 percent

Simplemente me Encanta! Es una gozada encontrar estos juegos de antes aquí. La pega que le veo es que no lleva batería interna para cargar por usb, y si la quieres usar sin estar conectada al cable, tienes que tirar de pilas. Una batería estaría genial para no andar usando pilas a estas alturas.

Il prodotto è giunto a casa in condizioni perfette, grazie ad un ottimo imballaggio. La sorpresa più grande è stata le dimensioni del mini cabinato, davvero generose. L'impatto da subito mi ha riportato indietro negli anni '90, quando Street Fighter regnava nelle sale giochi, ma la magia di quegli anni è diventata ancora più palpabile non appena l'ho acceso: luci della gettoniera e della scritta in alto, avvio della rom identica al cabinato, suoni stratosferici (le casse sono frontali, sopra lo schermo) e grafica meravigliosa. A tal proposito inizialmente ero titubante per lo schermo lcd; ai tempi era crt, ma grazie alle dimensioni contenute, la grafica non solo non risulta "schiacciata" o "spalmata", ma addirittura è identica all'originale. Oltre al tasto per inserire i gettoni, ci sono altri due tasti: uno per iniziare a giocare e l'altro il per le opzioni. La schermata delle opzioni permette di regolare la difficoltà del gioco, la luminosità dello schermo e se in modalità demo il mini cabinato deve anche emettere i suoni come in sala. L'audio è regolabile a parte tramite due tasti posti nella parte posteriore del cabinato, dove è presente anche il jack per le cuffie. È possibile alimentarlo con batterie, oppure tramite cavo mini usb type B (non l'ultimo tipo per intenderci). Che altro aggiungere? L'aspetto del cabinato è molto fedele, il joystick e i bottoni restituiscono quelle sensazioni e rumori tipici da sala (la manifattura dei pulsanti in particolare è eccellente) e sono comodi da usare, il gioco è esattamente quello che uscì nei mitici anni '90 e non appena si inizia a giocare, si è subito teletrasportati indietro nel tempo di circa trent'anni. Per chi ama Street Fighter e per chi ha amato le sale giochi è un acquisto dovuto. Questo mini cabinato mi ha spinto a cercarne altri per un full immersion.
