Namco Museum Mini Arcade - 10-Inch (Electronic Games)

Had to return due to duplicate. Was very impressed with this product.

Love this little machine, takes me back to my misspent youth in arcades and fulfills my childhood dream of having my very own arcade machine but without having to put coins in it! Positives: well made, not too heavy, good display, controls feel nice, headphone jack can be used to connect headphones or external speakers. Negatives: Mains power unit is a US one and although it is marked to operate from 110 to 240 volts, no adapter for UK/Ireland plug is included, Galaxian has bad sound, possibly an issue with the ROM which I can't resolve.

Games are great. But the hardware is identical to models costing less than £30. So you are only paying for the extra games. I bought to stick in my kitchen for my friends and I to play when we have a pi** up. I don't think it would survive that long as the joystick and buttons don't feel hardwearing. It is very over priced compared to the other machines which are identical apart from the games included. As a party machine it is too smallIn the end I returned this and bought a 10" screen machine (the screen on this machine is tiny - about 4 inchs from memory). The machine I finally bought cost double the price, but hardware is better, and the size of the machine is far better

I was astonished to see this struggle to run Galaxian. Frame rates go single digits at some points. You would think it was trying to run Crysis. Very poor and if you're buying this for Galaxian. DON'T.

The media could not be loaded. I own a few of the My Arcade machines and this Namco Museum one is by far the largest.You would rightly think this is a good thing as, bigger cabinet equals bigger screen, right??Well, yes and no. Each game has the option to play in its original aspect ratio or to stretch to fit the screen, but on, say Rolling Thunder it looks ridiculous stretched and playing standard you are using little more than one third of the screen available!Due to the scaling down, the joystick lacks precision and therefore the reduction in responsiveness affects your enjoyment of playing, often ending in frustrating mis-moves.Due to the larger size of the unit and the 20 game catalogue, a facility to save high scores to memory would have really been a significant plus point but alas, once you reset a game or switch off the unit, scores are lost. I know the original arcade machines lost scores once switched off but fast forward 30 years and I don't think it would have been too difficult to implement on this unit.I managed to pick mine up for £49.95 from another retailer but had I paid a 3 figure sum I might have been left feeling a little short changed by this offering.
