Data East Classics Mini Player - 10 Inch Mini Arcade Machine Cabinet - 34 Retro Games Included - Heavy Barrel, Caveman Ninja, and More - Licensed Collectible

I give this a B+ overall. These types of games are reliant on stick response. IF it is 1/4 second slow, the game could be ruined. I still like the nostalgic games I played as kid. Some games I never heard of. Graphics are as they were in the full size video game parlors of yesteryear.

If you love Burger Time, Shoot Out, Heavy Barrel, Karate Champ (or any of the 30 other retro titles) this tiny arcade game is highly recommended. The emulation is 100% faithful, and for 80s arcade enthusiasts like myself, that is very important. So many of these retro games are emulated with NES or Atari ROM sets. That doesn't provide a very good replication of most coin-op titles from my experience. Luckily, the Data East Classics mini player satisfies even the toughest critic when it comes to authenticity of emulation. The screen is decent, though the contrast with deep black leaves a little to be desired. Still, these 80s arcade games look very vivid and lifelike on the screen. The controls are remarkably responsive for being so tiny. Sound quality is excellent, plus you can adjust the volume or even listen through headphones if you prefer. One minor complaint is the display ratio adjustment. You can adjust the settings (Full Screen, 4:3, or Original) by holding COIN + BACK buttons at the same time, selecting the ratio, and hitting the B button. However, this can only be done from the main menu. Once you are in a particular title, you are stuck with whichever ratio has been selected. It's a minor gripe, but you'll find yourself constantly switching back to the main menu to adjust settings appropriately. All things considered, this is a great machine. I also highly recommend the Namco Museum variant by My Arcade. It has Pac Man, Galaga, Xevious, Mappy, Dig Dug and over a dozen other retro titles. Both of these machines sit perfectly on my desk at home, and transport me back to those carefree video arcade days of the 1980s and 1990s. Except this time, the quarters stay in my pocket.

Bought this mini arcade for my 12-year old grandson, who loves this and all of the included 35 video games. It's also great that it doesn't need batteries like most video games (it uses micro USB power adapter), and I was impressed that the sound was really good considering the size of the arcade.

I plugged it in and unit does not work at all. I am returning for a refund. I tried a different cable in case it was the reason for not working (tried the cable from my Namco museum Arcade mini, but doesn’t work still). Very disappointed.

Thought it was bigger like the others we have but a lot of games to choose from

Amazing! Check out my video review

All original code properly licensed. This is rare. In fact I think this is the pnly company that does it but you have to get the mimi players not the smaller ones.

Yep this is the real deal. It’s pretty much a larger version of the My Arcade mini cabs as you would expect. Same quality design and build, with a larger screen. Except this one is loaded with 34 Data East classics and not just the NES version like the smaller cabs, but the actual original arcade versions (yes!!!!). Most of the big ones are there including one of my all time favorite childhood arcade games ever : Bad Dudes!!!! But strangely, other good ones such as Ring King and Robocop were left out....oh well. Can’t have it all...or can we.......? Anyways what’s keeping me from giving it 5 stars is the lack of battery option like the smaller cabs. This one comes with a decent length micro usb power adapter that plugs into an outlet. You can also plug a regular micro usb cable into another power which can power it too. But does it really require a wired power source to run this..? Personally, I feel that small arcade cabs like these should be very portable and I tend to move it around depending on my mood and to have this plugged in all the time is a bummer. So I decided to get a cheap battery pack and Velcro it on the back of the cab. Problem solved! So if you looking for one hell of retro arcade trip with your very own arcade cab to bring with you where ever you go...get this. Now.

Arrived on time. Description is accurate

Os recursos são limitados, save point, por exemplo, não tem. Caro pelo pouco que oferece.

Cool retour en enfance. Prise en main facile.

Inutile dire che questo mini arcade lo si acquista perché sei uno di quei ragazzi amanti dei videogiochi che per poterli giocare negli anni 80/90 eri spesso in sala giochi o al bar aspettando con ansia il tuo turno con le tacche piene di monete da inserire una dietro altra nel cabinato dove avevano inserito il tuo gioco referito. Bene!! questo mini arcade ti ricorda tutto questo portandoti indietro negli anni, con sopra i tuoi migliori giochi preferiti di sempre, la Data East ha realizzato i migliori giochi di quegli anni, e qui troviamo molti titoli famosi come: Dragon ninja, Joe e Mac e molto altri. Il mini arcade e magnifico fedele riproduzione di un cabinato anni 80, piccolo quanto basta per poterci giocare anche sopra. I giochi inseriti sono molto e tra più conosciuti.

The only game that doesn't really work is midnight resistance. The arcade machine had a rotatable joystick which you used to aim. This sadly does not. The buttons to aim sucks. But nitro ball, two crude dudes ,magical drop,burger time,bad dudes,bloody wolf... If you don't remember at least a few of these games, you aren't gen x. It's marvellous fun, easy to use and a piece of art. I love it.
