the-topdog Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 They play pretty well. I think it is worth the $20... but that may be the collector in me... I have almost every Jakks Pacific TV Plug and Play that features vintage games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akator Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I've had this plug-and-play for several months. I've been holding off judgement, since I find most of the games enjoyable -- however, today I played it for a few hours and decided that the joystick is definitely inferior to my Jakk's Namco stick from a few years before. The stick on the Taito model is comparatively sloppy and loose, which leads to gameplay problems. Disappointing considering that my Jakk's Namco is years old and has over 100 hours of play. At this point, I would expect the controls of the Taito unit to work better than the Namco which was drop-kicked by drunken idiots at a block party... but no, at this point the Namco may look worse for wear but it still works better. I still enjoy playing it, but it could be so much better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I actually found them in K-Mart down here in Naples for 7.99!!!! (no kidding) But there were only 2 left. I bought them both, I like the feel of them and plan on converting them to 7800 controllers being that they have real 8-way constrictors (instead of the 'box' constrictor which makes you hit diagonals WAY more then you want to). I already made the 'look alike' earlier Pac-Man model a 7800 stick (but it's only 4-way - good for maze games but not for things like Scramble, Asteroids, etc.).

the.golden.ax Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 You found a good deal at K-mart I'd buy them $7.99 for any project 7800 controllers, TV version multi-jamma 60-in-one, or even just putting in an arcade machine. That's cheaper than you can buy a stick and buttons anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskDeSmith Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Odd. I picked up one of these at K-Mart the other day. I would have bought it just for being able to bring Space Invaders with me where ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
androidlove Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Dollar General has them for $15.00 through 12/23/12. Some of those games weren't in the arcades I frequented in my youth. This is the 1st time I've heard of them. The puzzle games look boring. The fairy and bubble games look really easy. I'd get it for Qix and Space invaders, but I gather Qix has issues with the joystick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
