toiletunes Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Spotted at Cracker Barrel. $19.99, looks, sounds, and plays like the real thing (as far as I can tell). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 update: They also had Pac-Man. Sound was accurate but play seemed slow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamrodHare Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 That's pretty cool! I really like it when they make these look like shrunken arcade cabinets. My only issue would be using the controls at that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletunes Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Galaxian wasn't too bad with left/right and fire, but Pac-Man was difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The games struck me as choppy. They're getting closer, though! I think a cabinet roughly that size with faithful emulation would be possible... just maybe not at that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Man, if they'd just make these a useable size--like Coleco tabletop size--I'd be all over them. Even for more $.Love me some Galaxian. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wood_jl Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 That's pretty cool. If only it was Galaga instead of Galaxian, I'd be after it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Phruby Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I wonder if a Raspberry pi zero could fit in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Havoc 2049 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I have both Pac-Man and Galaxian. They also have Space Invaders and Ms. Pac-Man. I actually prefer Pac-Man, as it controls better and is very playable. Galaxian has a glitch where your ship stops moving for a split second when you fire, so you can't shoot and move at the same time. ;-( 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love me some Galaxian. Can't remember the exact link, but someone does convert the old Coleco's into MAMEcades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iesposta Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 (edited) I love the mini-Galaxian! Worst thing is it halts player ship each fire. Other poor elements are that fps is low, making movement very jerky. And of course it is very small. Sound is spot-on. This is from Taito. I bought a Galaxian to keep stock, and the Space Invaders to mod with 4 wires to select Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaxian, or Space Invaders. Of all 4 games, Space Invaders plays best with the low frames per second (fps). They are all fun and NOT Nintendo-on-a-Chip remakes. I wonder if a faster crystal would improve fps? Probably will speed up the perfect sound... Edited December 27, 2017 by iesposta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
