Customers are saying

Customers admire the Centipede Countercade, but several have reported issues with the trackball. Comments suggest the trackball may stick, respond erratically, or lack sufficient responsiveness for optimal gameplay. The trackball's performance is a significant concern for some users. Improvements to the trackball mechanism are desired for a better user experience.

    Great item for 99 bucks. At 200 it's too much. Works as described. Only two games. Great vids online for simple mods.

    I was surprised by the movement of the trackball. Screen is a little smaller than expected but just fine.

    Bought w my savings for husband for Father’s Day. 1st time in almost a decade I’ve been able to afford to buy him a surprise. It wasn’t what I expected. It worked for 2 weeks maybe played 10 times & now it doesn’t power on. Calling customer service now to see what to do. To be continued

    I just received and the trackball control is not working properly to almost not working at all. I just helplessly watch as I get killed by the spider or the centipede. I’m so disappointed. :-(

    Extremely dim LCD and unplayably bad trackball.

    I have several of the Arcade1up full-size machines, including the Centipede one, and I like them. I was hoping this would be identical but smaller. Unfortunately, the screen looks horrible. It is so dark that you need a dark room to view it comfortably, and even then it is still do dim it's hard to see the red "bullets" you shoot in Centipede. And the trackball is so bad it is virtually unplayable. I got it at half price and I'm still extremely disappointed. It's going back from whence it came.
