Galaga

Got this for my mom, whose favorite arcade game was Galaga. She was really surprised when we turned it on, and it was totally really Galaga, just smaller. The graphics are great too, even on the little screen (she was a little worried she'd have a hard time seeing the screen as her vision is getting worse, but it's been fine so far, great color contrast). My kids love it too, and play with it almost every day after school. It takes batteries, or you can plug it in with a charging cord, which is nice. This was a cute, fun little gift that definitely overperformed on my expectations.

The company that makes these makes quite a few of the classics, this one is like my 2nd fave, the best one is Space Invaders. Having said that, this is a great replica of the original game, the sound effects are dead on, the game play is spot on. The USB connection works great for those who don't want to go through the batteries all of the time, but it doesn't seem to stress the batteries too much, but then again, I've only had time to play for about an hour so far.

I love this little gadget. It plays exactly like the original and has the same feel and everything. I also like that when you are not playing it plays the preview of someone playing which makes for a great display piece. Highly recommended. Ms.Pac Man on the other hand not recommended. No preview on the screen when not playing and the joy stick action is lacking - doesn't feel like the arcade - I guess because of the up and down portion of the action.

I’ve been on a Galaga grind lately and figured it would be nice to snag one of these mini arcade machines I’ve been seeing around. Mine came in the mail very quickly and I’m pretty satisfied with it. I grew up on this game so naturally I’m in love with being able to take it anywhere I want. One issue I did notice right off the bat is that as I play, the screen progressively drifts to the right and wraps onto itself on the other side. I don’t know if this is a problem with my specific unit, or if it’s a problem with the NES port of Galaga which is what these machines have on them. Just a minor issue that confused me a bit but isn’t anything to throw the unit away over. However, if it does turn out that I just got a bad unit I would definitely like to see if the seller is willing to send a replacement. Other than that weird little bug, this is a great addition to your collection as a serious gamer or even just for decoration. I can’t wait to get a few more of these and show them off to guests lol.

This brings back a few nostalgic memories. :) Been playing with the video game for a few days. 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 see people are mentioning there is a problem with the firing noise or other audio problems. The firing noise and music sound fine to me. It could be you are using too much power and are frying the audio circuits. 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. Cons: 1) It doesn't save the high scores when you turn the game off. 2) It doesn't save the volume setting when you turn the game off.

I bought this for for my sons GF as a gag gift seeing she loved the game at the arcade. Little did I know it would be played everyday by everybody who came in contact with it and is still running solid !! Great gift and more than I ever expected out of it so much I’m buying her a back up one!!

Does exactly what you expect it too: play a mini Galaga. The high score resets if you have it battery powered and you reset it. I thought it was super nifty that you can play with or without the joystick and that the “on” button looks like the coin slots on classic arcades. When I’m waiting for my other games like GTA to update or on a boring zoom meeting, I’ll play a round or two. The volume can also be adjusted and is quite loud for such a tiny arcade. If you want, you can even plug in headphones.

Very much like the original. Wish the screen was a little larger.

Great quality build.

Never thought I'd be playing these games again, then these masterful devices come out. It is designed to look as closely to a real machine as possible. One thing I don't like is it doesn't save the high score. It would have been nice if as long as the batteries remain undisturbed the high score would remain for next power up. Guess it just copied the original too good lol I enjoyed this buy and I think you will as well.

This mini arcade machine is larger than some others, making it much easier to use. The machine looks just like the original arcade cabinet, stickers and graphics look great. Powers up with a USB cable or batteries and the coin slot lights up, pressing it starts the game which is a nice touch. The game looks and plays just like the arcade and is great fun. The controls are good, the removable joystick is nice if you prefer to just use the dpad, and the buttons are big and positioned well enough for adult fingers to use easily.

Die My Arcade Micro Player sind eine tolle Reihe von Spieleklassikern, die wieder zum Leben erweckt wurden und an die Arcade-Zeit der 80er Jahre erinnern. Trotz des relativ kleinen Displays lässt sich durchaus vernünftig auf ihnen spielen. Das diese Micro Player nicht für stundenlange Spielsessions geeignet sind dürfte allerdings klar sein - und dafür sind sie auch nicht gedacht. Aber für ein oder zwei schnelle Runden sind sie ein echter Spassbringer. In erster Linie sehe ich sie allerdings als Dekorations-und Sammlerstücke an. Und die kleinen Arcadeautomaten sehen einfach toll aus, sei es auf dem Schreibtisch, im Regal oder als Gameroom Dekoration. Als Jugendlicher habe ich viele Stunden in Spielhallen verbracht; Spiele wie Galaga, Donkey Kong, Pac-Man an den großen Arcade Automaten gespielt und da so einiges an Taschengeld in den Coin Slots versenkt. Diese Mini Arcades erinnern mich an die gute alte Zeit und zaubern mir ein Lächeln aufs Gesicht. Habe mir nach und nach schon einige zugelegt und es ist dadurch eine kleine Spielhalle entstanden, die hübsch aussieht und nicht nur bei mir selbst gut ankommt. Was gibt es noch grundsätzliches zu sagen: Die kleinen Arcadeautomaten werden mit 4 AA Batterien oder über USB betrieben. Auf der Rückseite befindet sich eine Laut und Leiser Taste. Der Einschaltknopf befindet sich auf der Vorderseite unten, da wo sich bei den großen Vorbildern der Münzeinwurf befindet. Das Sammlerherz wird auch zufriedengestellt, denn die Reihe wird immer wieder erweitert, in naher Zukunft sollen etwa Space Invaders, Streetfighter und Contra erscheinen. Ich kann die My Arcade Micro Player für Retrospiele- und Arcadefans empfehlen, auch als Geschenk für jemanden sind sie durchaus eine Überlegung wert.

Buena máquina para pasar los ratos libres, me gusta el detalle que prenda el área de "monedas" también me hubiera gustado que encendiera el nombre "Galaga". Espero conseguir más pronto
