Customer Reviews

Great game!
I must say for such a low price this is a great set of games. I mainly bought this for the game Galaga but ended up loving all 5. If you want a fair priced game that will entertain you for hours, this is a great buy!

Hours of thumb madness in your pocket.
5 classic arcade games in your pocket ready for action at a moments notice is something no core gamer can be without. First off Pac Man (and the much better Ms. Pac Man) is video game crack, the hours I put into this game over the years speaks for itself. Second, Dig Dug is a game much deeper than it seems and will keep you busy for hours. Third is F-Rally, which may be the weakest title here. It's essentially a rehash of Pac Man with cars instead of ghosts and it plays as you'd expect. Not bad, just a little shallow considering the other games. And finally, GALAGA! What more can I say? One of the most addictive shooters in arcade history in your pocket, or back pack or whatever. Great combo of classics for a great price.

old school games
its great to find old school games. My 5 year old is just getting into games and loves it, alothough I don't like him playing video games alot I would rather him play these stratagy games than the ones with all the violence.

Problem is size
This collection contains solid renditions of several favorite classics. Unfortunately, it suffers the significant problem of attempting to convert long screen games to the GBA's wide screen format. Galaga and Galaxian are certainly playable, but they are relegated to one side of the screen, making everything quite small. Ms. Pac-Man offers the option of playing all on one screen or scrolling as you travel up and down. Here, however, losing sight of the ghosts can be a handicap.
Also, where are the options for difficulty, level select, extra lives, etc.? The hints offered in the sub-menu are interesting, but a short blurb about the history of each game would have been nice. Finally, the high scores don't save.

Remember when...
I'm almost 30 years old and bought this game for my son and I enjoy playing it myself because it's got the classic games that I played when I was a kid. It arrived very quickly in the mail too.
