I own one.
I broke the joystick after getting up to about 560,000 points in robotron.

defender was unplayable (control layout).

joust was great.

Sinistar wasn’t good (I think the joysticks are 49 position in the real game and only 8 position here).

the other games were not to my tastes.

I have callouses on both hands and at times my left thumb and finger have been numb. My arms have been sore.

If you are a robotron fan- this is great.

Otherwise– probably not so great.

I saw one of these at my local target store. It is more like a kids toy than a real arcade machine. The marquee isnt lighted, the TV is only 13 inches, the buttons and joystick are cheesy junk and i do not think they will hold up to hard gaming. The joystick didnt respond very well when i was playing rampage. It the controls were real arcade type, larger TV, lighted marquee and built a little more sturdy, this would be something neat for the family room.. but as it stands now, i’ll pass and spend my 500 bucks on building my own MAME machine where I have full control of the quality.
