Mini Arcade Machine, Retro Gaming Console, Handheld Game Console with 156 Classic 16-Bit Video Games, 2.8 Inch Color Display, Rechargeable Battery, Support for TV Output, Birthday Present for Children

My adult son loved this from the first time he saw it. He only played with it for a little while and said it was just like playing the old-school games, except it's so small that it's hard to play with adult-size fingers. He said it definitely has a good selection of cool games, and it made him long for the full-size arcade games again.His 10-year-old was dying to play it as soon as he saw it. He's the one I actually bought it for. He said it is "awesome, " a really cool little arcade," and that it was "very fun playing the games my dad used to play when he was my age." He said it is easy to operate, except that the buttons aren't labeled, but it doesn't take long to figure them out. It's easy to switch games even though he sometimes had to click the reset button a few times to switch. Other than that, everything works great and he is absolutely sold on it!His twin 4-year old brothers are also dying to try it, but they'll have to grow up a bit more because it wouldn't last long in their little hands. Instead they like to watch him play and can't wait to get bigger so they can do it themselves.As for me, it's a unique and cute little game system that charged quickly and easily.

I bought this as one of the Bday presents for my boys white and green. They can’t stop playing with it. My older son connected it to the TV and says he really likes how when he loses the game does not start over but continues from the last point reached. My younger one said this game is favorite becomes it has different sonic games including 3D. He also loves the Guku game. Makes me feel so good when my boys think I’m a cool mom for finding what they enjoy and surprising them. I totally love all of the options like the flat rectangle battery,(comes iwuth the game) or USB (also comes with the game), or conventional batteries, and connectors wire for TV play.

I thought that an arcade-styled gaming device holding 156 SEGA games would be a gimmick (and probably not officially authorized), but considering its low price, I thought I'd give it a try as it would make for a nice, novelty gift.PROS- Retro arcade design with joystick and 6 buttons- 156 SEGA games- microUSB rechargeable- Roughly 1.5 hour play time and 1 hour charging- Connect the arcade to a large TV screen using an RCA-style connectorCONS- Volume button did not adjust the loudness at all- Volume starts at a high loudness whenever you turn on the arcade (it does not remember the last setting)- Joystick is not of a high quality (it's more like a directional game pad in the style of a joystick)- Game selection could be a bit tedious to scroll through- Screen is not the best at most viewing angles, and as such, gaming on it for a long time could be a bit of an issue for the eyes- No ability to save progressGAMES- The star of this game collection is, of course, Street Fighter- My other favorites were Tekken, Alex Kidd, Mortal Kombat, and a racing game I could not remember the name ofWhether this game collection is authorized by SEGA or not, overall this is a multi-game compilation packaged in a neat, retro-inducing arcade cabinet. Although I would not recommend it for extended play, it is fun nonetheless to play some old games. It also makes for a GREAT gift idea for nostalgic reasons.If you found this review helpful, please click the "Yes/Helpful" button below to encourage me to write more. Thank you!

Grandson loves this. We were impressed at how many games he could play on it.

I am not an IPAD mother. My kids do not own them so I am always looking for ways to allow them to play games, as well as still feel like they're in the electronic world in some way. This has been awesome for my Son, but also the girls as it has some barbie games and Little Mermaid! Tons of fun with Sonic, Mario, Tetris and some games I have never heard of! The only thing that I personally wish it had was Donkey Kong haha, but beggars cannot be choosers! Overall great buy with a surprisingly good display - especially if you like to travel and not stick your kids in front of screens!

This product only worked when plugged in. My son was disappointed.

Game selection is nice, but what good is it if the machine stops working in 2-3 days? Lithium battery lasted only 1 day, then it was gone for good. Joystick goes out first, and it's near-impossible to do fighting game special moves on it. If joystick works, then the machine freezes randomly and you still can't play. Sound is too fast in most games. Volume control wheel did not break, but volume control button on front suddenly became Start button. Power cordis really short. Gift value is not there if it stops working. Graphics quality wasn't bad and the screen was actually good! Can't enjoy it when it completely stop working, though. I really wanted this machine. The design is cool. It looked so cool, but it let me down so bad. So disappointing.

After putting in the rechargeable battery and charging it up, I was pretty excited to try it out. It's a portable emulator box with some boot leg ROMS (which is illegal to sell these licensed games...), but I had some issues with the controls.The volume button doesn't function. It does the same thing as start for me and doesn't actually change any volume at all. So It's kinda loud and the speaker is a very cheap small speaker, so it doesn't sound good maxed out.I'd love for this function, and that would make my review better.
