    Set up is simple, just plug and play. You get the classic Pac-Man and other versions of the Pac-Man game. I wish it had Mrs. Pac-Man. There is a lag in the response of the joy stick, I would have returned it but my daughter wanted to keep it.

    This is an amazing game! It's just like the old school games and addicting. The only reason I did give 5 stats is because the cord is kind of short so you sit a little close to the tv. Other then that it's great!

    Especially for the price, this is a fun game collection. There are several different versions of Pac-Man, along with other classic games. What throwbacks!! Lots of fun, and just what you'd expect for these good old games. The only downside in my opinion is that the unit itself is kind of bulky and awkward to hold while playing. Other than that...bring on the ghosts!

    I love all these arcade games. I was disappointed with the super pacman because in this game, if I become Super Pacman courtesy of eating the Green super pellet, I had an irregular feeling when I want to execute going faster on the controller in pressing the button. When the button is pressed in this sequence, that when you can control pacman in a faster mode.

    I have been considering this purchase for a long time, but hesitated as many people have complained that the stick is unresponsive. However, I also am quite familiar with the arcade versions and it seems to be inline with them. My biggest complaint about the Super Pac-Man arcade game is that it was difficult to control ... especially in "Super" mode. Pac & Pal, which is quite similar, is just as bad. So, I don't think it's the stick, but the games themselves. All of the others are easier to control and pretty spot on to the arcade versions sans the orientation. I'm very happy with it. It would be cool if it didn't require batteries, however, but so far I haven't needed to replace them.

    Great game, a lot like the old PAC Man. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a good Pac Man game for the price.

    I was disappointed that it had no HDMI capability and my big tv has no RCA inputs. I used a small old TV for the RCA issue. But it still works

    Lots of fun. Huge throw back. My only complaint is that the cord isn’t long enough to reach my couch. Returning to the main menu is a little funky - you’re suppose to press A and B at the same time. I can’t call that a problem yet since i haven’t had a chance to give it another try.

    Super fun toy! It has around 10 classics with countless hours of fun. My favorite game is mappy, but the system has way more to offer. My favorite part about it is; I bought it a while ago, I use it regularly, and it still runs and functions phenomenally. Definitely worth my money.

    This is great for young kids who never saw the originals. The joy stick is a little cumbersome but maybe the old ones were too.

    My 5 year old loves to play video games, but xbox and playstation are a bit much for him. This is perfect, we can take turns playing galaga, dig dig, pacman, etc. All authentic games just like the original video console.
