My Arcade Pixel Classic - Handheld Gaming System - 300 Retro Style Games Plus 8 Data East Classics - Lightweight Compact Size - Battery or Micro USB Powered - Full Color Display - Headphone Jack

To me, this portable has one of the best looks I have ever seen. A job well done on the design. References to pixels are everywhere.The build quality is solid. Assembly fits nice. Plastic feels good. Not the best, but good enough. If it had been a little more thick, it would have been top.Size is kind of the first Nintendo's Game Boy - so it fits hand sizes from a 8 year kid and above.Screen is fine, graphics look very nice. I just have one issue here - it feels as if all the black frame surrounding the plastic screen cover was hollow...? - if you press that area, it feels/looks like the plastic bends downwards - you gotta be careful with this.Controls feel good. Everything feels the way it should. Diagonal button press can be easily achieved - no pain. This is very important and a very common flaw in many "clone" consoles out there.As for the games included, the Data East classics are there - 8 bit, NES versions. Of course, you have your usual emulation limitations - no "I'm bad" sound in Bad Dudes -, some graphics don't look the way they would look on an original NES setup...but overall it feels solid and playable.The rest of the games are different game hacks and clones - I wish DreamGear had requested other licenses instead of adding these - not many of them are appealing. It's however a curious addition to experiment.Works on 4 AAA batteries - which I find very practical. I really don't like to spend time charging a console, so to me this was fantastic.The console has a mode where action buttons light up - this is very cool!For no more than 20 USD this is a very nice portable gaming console.So far, I have played a run of Bad Dudes and Heavy Barrel, and I can say that, overall, it feels just the way I played them in the NES.I'm happy with the product. Could be better yes, but it's good enough the way it is.I liked it so much - I'm planning to get the other version (horizontal format) and perhaps another one of this kind.

The one my son bought works great. His son calls it "old time games", but he really enjoys playing with the classic arcade games.

Junk out of the box. Screen dims with sound then went black.

This makes for a great gift! It’s the perfect size to carry around in your pocket and This is a great traveling entertainment for kids. Highly recommend. I will be buying 2 more

There are things I like about this handheld game, and things that I don't. The eight Data East games are good. Those were one of the main reason I bought this game. Heavy Barrel & Burger Time were favorites of mine back in the day. And from what I've read on the internet, this game unit is using the actual arcade ROMs. I also like the look and size of this device. It fits in my hands and isn't too small. Being able to hook this up to a television is another plus for me.Now, for some of the issues I have. First - the screen outer cover was misaligned on the unit I received. I was able to carefully pull it off and correct the placement of it on the device. Second, this game system has two main buttons, A& B plus Reset & Start, along with a directional pad. Problem is, with some of the other games you are missing buttons that you need. For instance, with the Sudoku game (#266) you can't access the control buttons in the game to check the puzzle or get hints. I've got one of the My Arcade game consoles with the wireless remotes, and it has the same library of games on it and the same Sudoku game. The controllers for that system have more buttons, and you can access the controls for the game.So I like this handheld game system, but it's not perfect. The Data East games are fun, but I wished they had vetted the other games to make sure all of them were compatible with the two button configuration this system has.

I love it but battery doesn’t last long

Love it

Please, please, please save your money! This is beyond horrible and I'm terribly disappointed. I actually did not get this from Amazon, but felt strongly enough over this P.O.S that I felt I needed to try to save other people from making the same mistake I made. The controls are terrible and unresponsive. The games I've tried to play have no instruction whatsoever. It's just a horrible waste of money. Save your money for that Root Canal you've been dying to get. You'll have loads more fun with that than you will this game.
