When we were growing up in the '80s we all said the same thing, "Man, I wish I could have my very own arcade game!" Well, it only took us 30 years. Check out Jon's obsession with mini arcade cabinets as he takes a look at Mini-Burgertime, Mini-Dig-Dug, and Mini-Galaga in his review of the My Arcade Micro line of toys!
Oh yeah, then he drives to Walmart and buys more!

They have my favorite arcade game (Mappy) as one of these, and it works pretty well! Sadly it's the Famicom version loaded onto it, but for a portable way to play one of my favorite games ever, I'll deal with what's arguably the best copy of the game in a mini arcade machine.

@RetrospillBlogspotNO 2 года назад

Thanks for the video! I've got a couple of these as well.. There are 18 in total according to their website - and you also left out that the joystick is detachable - so you could play the game using the dpad, which people may enjoy more (although less arcady). They also sell a 4 way splitter for USB power - Which make these perfect to place on a shelf with power - for that Arcade Ambience (That's what I use them for) in your home-arcade. Compared to the other even smaller mini-arcades, these are my favourite lineup..

@GenXGrownUp 2 года назад

Thanks for watching. I mention that screw-on/screw-off bat-top stick in many of my subsequent reviews of these units (and I've done a lot). I never found playing with the d-pad on these as comfortable as just using the stick, but it's a nice option.

All the My Arcade individual games have a 4:3 squished screen, making the games look bad. This is why I got the Namco Museum My Arcade instead.

@elzibiel 5 лет назад

I picked up another MyArcade Galaga recently and found no audio issues. I had purchased one earlier and had this same problem, with the firing sound effect going bad. My guess is that it was a wonky first run or two. Lousy business if you ask me, but seems like it's fixed. These MyArcade units seem to have dates on the back of them as part of their serial number, being the last six digits(MM/DD/YY). The one that works was probably made in July of 2018, as its number was something like 913070518. The number on the problematic unit was something like 856041518, so maybe from April? Or this could just be speculation. Bottom line, the Galaga units are not all faulty.

@GenXGrownUp 5 лет назад

Well, that's good to know, elzibiel. I did a My Arcade/Basic Fun comparison here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yaRUDsNHWSQ.html and you can more clearly hear the audio cut-out in the My Arcade. Doesn't make it bad, but it is certainly noticeable. It's certainly encouraging that the recognized the problem and addressed it, even if it doesn't make my unit any better. 😝 Glad you found us and hope you'll subscribe to check out much more of our GenX-inspired content.

I got Burgertime. I think the game might be a slightly modified version of the NES game. Not sure. Anyway, the battery storage on my unit is faulty. I think one of the positive contacts doesn't make "contact" with the battery. So it doesn't complete the circuit. Might have to mod it...

I know Sega like Nintendo are not really into liscensing for handhelds anymore, but it's a shame to let a classic like this one be forgotten.

@jimmykannibal9901 5 лет назад

The only thing that bugs me its the fact that if they flipped the screen 90° they could fit the game screen to be just like the arcade (kinda), the question is... why they didnt? the shape of the mini arcade, would be more accurate too.

Yep, as you've already noted! NES is a bit after our time. I was in high school during the NES era, and my girlfriend's little brother had one. I'd graduated to an Amiga by then.

I feel like you have gotten stingier with your tokens in recent years!!! I guess the novelty has worn off and the market is more crowded.

@GenXGrownUp 10 месяцев назад

That's an interesting observation, and I've thought about that a bit. Reviews are kind of a snapshot of the time I did them. When these were brand new, the market hadn't seen anything like it in quite some time. Over the years, as more products come out and technology advances, I have a broader range of comparison knowing just what is possible. It's kind of like the very best of show are wrecking the curve for all the other products! 😀

Those larger ones might be okay. But those really small ones are just tat.

@GenXGrownUp 2 года назад

Don't follow you. These are all the same size - which larger ones are you referring to? Also, not familiar with "tat" (outside of body ink). Typo? Cool kid slang? 😀

Since you're gen x like me, skip these and get the old coleco tabletop games. And dont forget q bert by parker brothers or the nintendo tabletops.

@GenXGrownUp 5 лет назад

Hey, 17.28, I have a Donkey Kong Coleco tabletop, and while it's wonderful for nostalgia, the gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. These may not be arcade accurate, but they're a far sight better than the static LCD in those wonderful old 80s tabletops! 😀 Glad you found us and hope you'll subscribe to check out much more of our GenX-inspired content!

At least put the arcade versions on these otherwise they are pointless to own

@GenXGrownUp 2 года назад

Not the arcade ROMs? Definitely disappointing. Pointless, though? Hardly. I've found these great fun to collect and review, despite the lack of original software in the early ones. Later versions (and some of the larger collection units) did go the OG route, however.

I can’t believe people still buy these trash games they shouldn’t even be called my arcade you’re playing Nintendo 8 bit graphics on these for $24.99 waste of money go buy the real arcade machines if you want arcades the coleco was the first that started it they were a failure

@GenXGrownUp 2 года назад

Those Coleco "failures" are still in high demand, so maybe that's an indicator of why we enjoy collecting these "trash games." 😘

@@Suhadisgood That's a gross generalization. The Coleco units have held their value and even appreciated across the board wherever you find them. If you have them and hate them, send 'em my way! 😀
