Finally, somebody on KZbin coming out and saying that one of these is not good. So many videos from retro gaming channels hyping up all the Myarcade products and they just aren't usable or fun? Who is actually going to play this for more than 30 seconds? No one. So thank you for actually saying that out loud.

Gorf would have been fantastic with this configuration. Agree, Galaga and Glaxian, nope. Really funny that the stick clicks up/down, they could have saved some in the manufacturing cost if they knew how the arcade versions played. Also not a big fan of MyArcade. Great review PDubs, appreciate it!

PDubs, Why did you buy this? It's simple. It's cheaper than the one from Numskull :D But in all seriousness, before New Wave Toys and Numskull, back in the day, this would've been the cat's pajamas. I remember when I was a kid and to find anything like this wasn't an every day occurrence. Anything that had even an arcade logo, no matter what it looked like, me and my buddies jumped all over it. I remember discovering the Glen's Retro Show channel before all the home arcade hubbub and we had all sorts of great discussions about any manner of these miniature machines. We reminisced about collecting these cheaper looking and playing home versions and Glen kept taking them apart and making them play actual arcade roms. But fast forward to today. The market is SO HUGE and now we have companies who actually care to make these classics all they can be. After buying my first couple New Wave Toys and Numskull machines, companies like My Arcade became a joke to me. No longer did I have to settle for whatever was available. Sure, I'd have to spend WAY MORE money, but DUDE, what a great time we live in! I still have some My Arcade's for display purposes only, I love my Bubble Bobble, Mappy, and Karate Champ just to name a few, but each time I get a great replica from New Wave Toys or Numskull, the cheaper stuff gets relegated to the back. My Arcade actually made a cool looking Elevator Action, but if you have the doe and the patience, Numskull will have you covered soon. I really don't look at My Arcade's products any longer. This silly Galaga didn't even skim my radar, but I think there's a market for everyone. But now that I no longer have to settle for the chintzy stuff, I'm a happy man. vgv

PDubs, And that's the smart play, wait for products that speak to you, whether that be quality or novelty. I know you probably had an inkling that this product wouldn't be the be all and end all Galaga experience, but it's quirky and it made for an entertaining video, I enjoyed it :) vgv

I got the normal galaga my arcade version 2 and pacman version 2. I was very happy with them, they play nice and maybe more accurate than arcade1up versions which is weird but excellent because they don't cost much. They go well next to my attack from Mars pinswitch mini.

I like this as a cool looking toy! By no means is it a substitute or competitor to even a “home arcade” product. But I hope I get one for Christmas for me and the grandkids to play with. It’s better than my classic Colecos from back in the day as it has the actual arcade game on it. So it’s not a home arcade but it’s a fun toy

I like the MyArcade cabs, but not for actually playing with. I've got a bunch of them set up on a shelf with some 6" figures. I call it Lando's Space Arcade because Lando Calrissian's the owner. I grabbed one immediately after seeing it on Super GameRoom Dudes. It's a fun little toy, and I do like the flight stick idea. I don't see myself breaking too many high scores with this though. The screen's really small for my old eyes. lol I can't make out the enemy space ships' bullets half the time. I think if A1U were to put a flight stick on a countercade or a partycade, that would be an interesting way to play.

My biggest error was buying a My Arcdae Bubble Bobble mini cab and finding it was not an original rom. Stayed in the box and never switched on. Keeping it just for the cab look value.

I agree this is silly and overpriced, but I have seven of the micro players, including the Namco Museum. They're cute, represent the art of the games, and don't take up much space. All nicely presented on a 3' bookshelf. I would not game on these beyond novelty. Added: Aterburner would have been cool with this design, but Galaga???

Personally, while I am a fan of Galaga, enough of the Ms Pac-Man/Galaga combo units, or even the stand-alone units. The entire business model of these companies is selling you the same Intellectual Property over and over again. Nintendo will never license their IP, so we will never see Donkey Kong or ANYTHING Nintendo. Excite us with some ZAXXON already.
