I own four of these cabinets (did not know about Galaga, Dig Dug or Frogger until just now), and I will say that it is simply more of a novelty to have. A cool little collectible for those interested in retro arcade games. They definitely feel like they were different builds from the original, but they can still be fun to mess around with on occasion. I would definitely like to grab the other three cabinets I didn't find. I found the four I own at Toys R Us last year, but they've been appearing at Walmart as of late. I might check back again to see if I can round off the series.

It would be cool to have a bunch of these decorating a game room, just running through their attract screens.

Thanks for the review. These are amazing! :)

I don’t think they are meant to be played anyway. The fact they are playable is awesome enough. I have them all and they are sitting on my shelf as decorative pieces. Turning them all on and leave them playing their demo is so awesome.

Pretty cool stuff! And for some people the reduced resolution only adds to their charm

My wife got me one (Ms Pacman) back in December, I like it! Good coverage Shane

You should look at the comment of Cube It will be useful

regarding frogger, they probably changed the music because of licencing issues. in the original arcade version and some of it's contemporary ports, the game start music was a cover of the japanese childrens song "inu no amawari san" which was written in the 1960s.

Thanks for the detailed review. I may snag a couple at Wal-Mart. They'd look cool on my shelf and fun to play sometimes

I started collecting these recently because I love how the cabinet looks and the marquee lights up. Pole Position is pretty neat because it has a tiny steering wheel instead of a joystick and it says, "Prepare to qualify." when you start a race. I love it. Pac-Man is great. Tetris is great, has the original music. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Not so much. Cabinet looks awesome, but the gameplay is horrendous. I still like it, but it's like a 2 out of 5 for me.

I love collecting these. I have Pacman, Ms.Pacman, Galaga, Galaxian, Tetris and Ninja Turtles. I also have the bigger tablt top arcade games of Pacman, MsPacman, Bad Dudes, Galaxian, Galaga, Burger Time, Dig Dug and Karate Champ as well as table top games made by another developer which includes Tetris, Contra, Fixit Felix and Mortal Kombat. I only ever opened the MsPacman one being that it was my first but I think I'll keep the rest of them boxed. Hopefully they will be worth money some time in the future. But mainly for collecting purposes. I have plenty of other platforms that play these same games anyway.

Regarding Frogger - no re-releases use the original music, because the ones in the original arcade release and early home release were taken from other sources and used without permission. One is a Japanese children's song, and two others are from anime. All are still under copyright.

The Frogger music being different is a license issue. As it's also different on the Bridge Direct mini Frogger arcades as well. As far as the last ghost in Pac-Man not coming out, That is normal behavior as when you have eaten half(or more) of the screen of pellets and you die, then continue the board, if there isn't enough pellets left to eat, the 4th will stay in its box. Try it out on mame. These are based off of the original arcade rom. (minus the frame rate issue of course). Thanks for the review!

I got the Pac Man one a while back, I love the thing! It looks neat on my gane collection and it's fun to play these from time to time

That’d be really hard to make, or even play the game

Those tiny arcades are really Interesting.

Awesome video! You should check out the mini-arcade systems by Basic Fun. They're not as small as these ones, they're about 6 inches each. I have 6 of them (Space Invaders, LCD Frogger, LCD Centipede, Asteroids, Q*bert and Colour Pac-Man) and they're pretty great, although some are better than others. They are, at the very least, pretty interesting.

I thought the space Invaders attention to detail was pretty impressive... The fact that they try to mimic the overlays is pretty cool. I'm definitely going to need to order the whole set

Can confirm these little arcades are built to last. Well, for what it's made out of being rather cheap plastic. Bought the Mrs.Pac-Man version for my Mom for Xmas years ago. It still sits in their garage on the work table. Covered in dust and probably random oil speckles ect? For sure. Does it still fire up and run just fine? Definitely. Obviously don't drop them or abuse the machine. These are just a cute collectable with a bonus being able to play the game considering the form factor.

I love my Ms. Pacman tiny arcade aside from one thing...no mute button. Since this is sort of a keychain I’d love to play this waiting in line without bugging everyone

I bought my dad the Space Invaders one for Father's Day and he really enjoyed it

I'm not certain as technical details are hard to find for these, but displays of this size usually rely on an IC2 or SPI interface which is fairly slow. They're usually intended for Smart watches or little embedded displays. That's probably what's limiting the framerate as all of these seem to be about the same. I think it's ok though. They're amazing pieces of technology honestly. A replica arcade machine that plays something close to arcade game, miniaturized to just a couple a inches tall and all for 15 bucks.

I remember having one of those things... Except it wasn't the technological marvel those were. it was an LCD replica of Missile Command. It was more calculator-like in terms of graphics and controls in the fact that you can only move to specific spots, but it was still all in good fun nonetheless.

those look neat! definitely might want space invaders or ms. pac-man!

I just bought the space invades one I love it

I love these! I have space invaders and I'm trying to get dig dug and galaxian. I hope to get them all soon and I heard that rally x might soon

Just ordered the Ms.Pac-Man one for my wife, the Dig Dug one was temporarily out of stock. But upon doing so, I came across a competitor brand called My Arcade that puts out a 6", palm-sized variation of a tiny arcade machine, except they offer Burgertime, Bad Dudes & Karate Champ as other titles besides the classic Namco games. I was thinking I'd love to see you do a side-by-side comparison video review on BOTH brands to see which is the TRUE arcade experience in the palm of your hands. What do you think?

I got a Bad Dudes My Arcade for $15 instead of $30 when Toys R Us was going out of business, all sales final. It was dead on arrival, not sure if due to poor build quality or being old, mishandled stock but for me it's nothing but a nice piece to look at.

They're mainly for novelty purposes . Looks cool on a shelf. I have 3 of em. But if I wanna play, I'll fire up my mame

There just novelties. I don't think they are made to play like an originals haha! Would like cool on the shelf.

I love all of theme

Man, I love these things. My Cousins have a tiny arcade system of Pac-Man.

I actually like these Tiny Arcades even though they do have a few minor issues. I reviewed some of these on my channel.

I have Space Invaders, Ms Pac-man, Pac-man and Galaxian and would love to own the whole collection of this. There's even new ones like BurgerTime, Pole Position and Rally-X

This has been a closer look

I have the "Space Invaders" one. It's awesome. Also, got the Pac-Man one, it is pretty good too, even if it's easier. (Not a bad thing.) Though, oddly the SI one saves the high score, but my PM one doesn't.

"Its got bits!"

We sell these at the Wal-Mart I work for. I was wondering if they were worth the 12.97 we sell them for. By your review I would say yes.

You should do a quick review of the Tetris one!

I wish they would make a tiny bubble bobble one.

I'd still want that Galaga machine :P

These are some neat looking mini arcades, but from a practicality stand point I'd stick with the Game Boy versions of the games. I'm not knocking Rerez for liking them, I do think they're neat display items (I have a Pac-Man one and Galaxian one myself because I love both of those games) but I meant if you're want to sit down and play one of those games just for fun then the Game Boy versions are great for it.

And, if you're creative enough, you can probably turn the Gameboy (assuming it's an Advance SP) into its own mini arcade cabinet. I can't imagine it being that hard.

I remember buying something like this from a distribution store in the late 80's or early 90's. It was for Bad Dudes. The catalogue even had the little arcade machine showing a COLOUR SCREEN, but when I got it I found out it was basically like a Tiger handheld game. Annoying.

I actually own all of these!!! they are amazing!!!!

Oh man they're so adorable looking 😍 Id love to be able to get them where I live. But sadly no. I live out in the middle of nowhere which makes it impossible for me to get them.

Love it :). Unfortunately my local Wallmart only has Galaga and Ms. Pac-Man. Saw the demo moda gameplay and picked Ms. Pac-Man - really fun to play. Only wish I could control the volume, although I understand at such a small form-factor, that hardware most likely would not fit :|

2:37 Ahh my favorite company,tatio corp

Hey Series 3 has been just comfirmed for April. The next games are going to be: Tetris, Q*bert, Rally X and finally Pole Position. You can see the machines on Super Impulse’s web site.

Playback issues aside, the music in Frogger is likely different because I remember reading that Sega/Konami never licensed the rights to the use the song in the original arcade version (which was subsequently used in the Atari 2600 version as well). The rights holder eventually claimed copyright, so reproduced versions of Frogger ever since no longer have the song. This is most noticeable in the version of Frogger that is included in at least one iteration of the Atari Flashback consoles, Instead of providing the original Frogger game ROM that Parker Bros. originally released, It has a somewhat "upgraded" version of Frogger with no music.

*Tatio* is my favorite video game company.

Do they have an attract mode? I can't see myself playing one of these for long but I'd love to have it on my desk running through its original Arcade demo.

I really wanna buy all of them! :3

How does they compare to the other line of mini arcades that's out?

Better than those older Tiger games.. I had one of Castlevania when I was little and it sucked lmao

I need the Rerez soda.

Technology is almost there it’s not perfect with these guys but it’s almost there

They've released a numnber of new games and some in a "tabletop" form factor, it would be interesting to see you review them.

I hope this company makes more of these. I am hoping they make: 1. Popeye 2. Arkanoid (with the knob controller) 3. Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr 4. Mario Bros. 5. 1943

I have the tetris one its awesome (especially because im good at it)

I grew up with the original arcade's. Seeing those little replica I have to say that they don't convince me at all. Portability is not all what matters.

They should do ice cyclone arcade as a keychain

1. This is quite impressive. On how they managed to make it work being so small. 2. I would never buy it due to it being that small. That is just asking for strain on the eyes. It is impressive, but it really should have been larger. At least the size of an average iPad. This way it is still portable, but it wouldn’t look so uncomfortable to play. Which is a shame, I really like playing those games from time to time. Now and then, it is nice to simply play something old.

btw...I think Superimpulse..the company who makes these tiny arcade games.. also makes the same game but on the credit card size..look at Pacman both the tiny version and the credit card version..the same goes to Tetris..

I really like space Invaders

I got a miss pac man one on Christmas

I wonder how many bits rerez pop has? Because any self respecting 90s kid knows that the more bits you have, the better it is. DO THE MATH!!!!!

these are so cute! i m growimh my own little arcade how about them putting out tempest asteroids tetris you ned to use a magnifier screen or glass

You could set these up with some vintage RAH G.I. Joes on the U.S.S. Flagg or the HQ.

I found the AI on the mini Galaga to be smarter than the original. For me the bees will kind of sit, and wait for me to move, and they will calculate which direction is the best to attack me from before they loop around me.

I don’t care about the flaws, I’m getting Dig-Dug and Galaga.

2020: TMNT ONE SUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKSSSSS

Pac-Man was probably running slow due to constant AI updates depending on where Pac-Man was.

These are awesome desk toys. For a gimmick or novelty they’re fantastic. I don’t think these were made with gameplay in mind.

Imagine if they did Mortal Kombat with this lol

The background music in galaxian sounds like fnf week 6 cutscene music

Hard to come by? I see some of Pac man at my Wal-Mart!

Can I subject-buy and have ez job making these? If this i have idea to Use Magnifying Glass At the Screen to Look Big and Mechanical Connection at the Buttons. After 12am Is Good Time Right?

Can you go up from every size of mini arcades , all the way up to those new half size 1up arcades??

I just want a Mrs. Pac-Man & Galaga

Thrre are some exclusive to Walmart that actually have really high def screens. Just avoid Pac Man and Asteroids. Those 2 use the outdated Game and Watch screen technology.

I own the the space Invaders one

GREAT THERE'S NOW 3 MORE TO COLLECT, and one is of course fucking Galaga. I wouldn't have even bought Galaxian if Galaga was already out.

And you can decorate your Christmas tree with them!

thanks rerez, I think you just helped me dodge a bullet for an upcoming trade.

I'm gonna get one for my cat.
