Bought the 14” fold up arcade system with the optional Sanwa joystick and buttons. Shipping was fast and arrived in no time. It was just as advertised. Been playing all my favorite games non stop! I o... See more

Remember the good old days
I am overv56years old. I remember when I was just a kid at eleven or twelve years of age my mom made me a spider man birthday cake. Then I went to games emporium, yes the same one that was in unsolved mysteries. It is now called Rackem. Then it was full of old arcade games which me and my friends played all day. Well this game system is awsome. It has all the great ones. Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Pac Man, Centipede, Astaroids, Joust, Defender, Dig Dug. And many more great and exciting games to play and replay. It is very worth it. This lap top box of games is not an emulator. It is already loaded with tons of games. A must have to play the old games that you miss.

It arrived quick and works great
It arrived quick and works great. It took a minute to figure out how to navigate everything, but even that was quick and painless. Very fun product!

I like that the console doesn't need to be plugged in all the time and it has all of the arcade games that I loved as a kid and thought I would never have the chance to play again. There are also a lot of games that I have never played and am eager to try. The search feature lets me go right to the game that I want.
I feel the games in large part are good…
I feel the games in large part are good and solid. I am not thrilled with the pinball game options and feel the flipper action is lacking. The classic games I have my tried from the 80s (my youth) are on target with what I remember. I feel the construction of the unit is very solid, possibly more solid than my laptop computers. The unit does not get hot from my experience. Due to the weight of it though, it may be hard for me to take with me to places like the mall. I do not want to carry that weight around. Overall I am well satisfied with it so far. I just wish there were more instructions that were in large print for the individual games. I have some sight issues and that would help me.
a journey down memory lane
Stuffed full of classic games. The joystick is responsive, the buttons are clicky, and the hand controller is excellent.
Next best thing to a Time Machine!
This incredible product has taken me back to my glory days of the 1980s and a little town arcade in a little pocket of Canada.
The authenticity of those amazing games are spot on. The audio and visual created instant flashbacks to the countless roles of quarters spent having some of the greatest fun of my life.
Literally every game I could possibly think of that I played is on this console.
From when I first ordered until I received it and the many questions I had were answered within a few hours.
I mean until Time machines are invented to go back to the 80s. This is pretty darn close so thanks so much for helping me resurrect some of the glory days.
And I’m still going to get my high score back on Robotron 🙂🤖
The suitcase simplicity was a brilliant idea. Keep up the great work cheers. Wayne T
Birthday Gift
Bought this console for my bday and it arrived super fast! I upgraded the video game library, extra controller and better joystick and buttons! The quality is very good with a very sturdy case. The games are even more fun! So many!!!! Transported me back to my childhood. And best of all my 10 yr old kid loves playing with it as well! All in all great purchase!!!
Took me back to 90s
Bought this 14in arcade console recently with upgraded Sanwa joystick and buttons. Met my expectations completely, fast shipping, a lot of different games, and overall nicely built machine. Soon will buy another controller for some 3 player games.
Great product
I love the game selection and the stability of the case itself have recommended it to friends.
The box works great
The box works great. Among the litany of these options now on the market, I chose this one because I really wanted to have a full joystick experience like the arcade. It delivers this! The joystick feels a bit loose when you install it, but I've found it to be precise and a good one for all the games I've tried so far.
I have no complaints. It arrived faster than I expected and works well. The battery seems to last long enough when you're off-power. The screen looks good, and attaches easily to a larger tv (I used HDMI but there's VGA out if you really want to go old school to an older monitor/tv). Only thing I would like different? Sound routing to my home theater when using HDMI & 2nd screen. If that's possible, I couldn't figure it out!
So many gems from my youth!!
So many gems from my youth!!! This was a great purchase. Good search functionality, very expedient shipping and equipment in perfect condition (as expected). If you grew up in the 80s, I dare you to not love what this has to offer!!!
Great machine - Just a great machine.
Great machine - just love it :)
ONLY one BIG part is missing: I can create a favorite list (or better: more than one list!) - It remember the recent played games (only 100) but delete older played games - and with 5000+ games to try then the list is quickly overwriten.

poor quality product
machine arrived anfd keen to set up and play but very dissapointed at the response time of controls on machine, on occassions response time effects the actual game hence many games are not fit for purpose, done a little reserarch and established controls are dependent uypon electronics and internal components, guess old adage, if it seems too good to be true , it probably is not true, price seemed excellent but product clearly is poor quality and on most games not workable unless you are willing to accept poor response times from controls, i have contacted company but not evcen the common courtesy of a response, will need to seek legal actions
Great arcade experience.
Solid item. The upgraded joystick is great. Lots of games but many are redundant.
It's a fun system
It's a fun system. 5000 games. The customer support is excellent. If you have any questions , you will get a very quick response.
Love this
Love this, all the arcade classics. Great layout and all the games work well. Great purchase.
Amazing experience from the start
Amazing experience from the start. Fast secure shipping and setup took minutes. Great selection of games, so much fun!! Thanks for a great product.
Great retro games from my childhood 70’s & 80’s.
I love playing Phoenix, Seawolf II,Galazaga, Ms. Pac-Man, & Donkey Kong. Brings back my childhood.

I really enjoy how easy and steady of the direction of the joy stick. I also enjoy the old school games I played back in the day!
