Purchased this game as I have had one years previously ... and missed playing the game. Easy installation - need a `AV - In' on your TV. 4 `AA' batteries and away you go. Noticed the `Joystick' is much sturdier than my early model and that makes for easier movement of the `Pac-Man' ... not stuck in a corner and can't get out in time because the `Joystick' was in a position that was difficult to move. Now it is as much fun as I remember years ago ... my Thai girlfriend said `Can not stop' when I asked her how she liked the game ....DonI was hesitant to order this because of the joystick. My husband is the greatest test on 'tough' of any thing. I want to tell you, this little machine is a tough little bugger. Well built. I watched him attack this all night tonight, and it held up surprisingly well. I'm impressed. If it only holds up to his abuse for a few months, I will still purchase another one. It survived his trial-run. Great product for the fun memories. The joy on his face -- Priceless.I really enjoy this game. Simply plug into your tv, and its just like u remember at the acarde! I only wish it had centipied also, I bought another game with that and it was NOTHING like the old centipied! This pacman is true to what you remember and you'll really enjoy it. The other games are also fun!I have been searching high and low for this for a long time. Until now, could only find used ones, or if they were still in the package, very expensive. My sister loves Pac Man, and I was more than glad to get it for her. It has a lot of other games too. Seems very well made. So easy to install, your mother could do it. If you like the retro arcade games, then this is the one for you.I purchased this as a gift for my mom. She had a pac man plug n play that broke. She liked this one a lot better. Said it had more games on it. Overall it was a hit. Made a great gift. She is thinking about purchasing another one just to have in case this one ever breaks.MY grandson, disappears after dinner and homework. You'll find him parked in front of the screen laughing and chortling as Pac man goes on his merry ghost eating ways.A very good game bring so much memories, I grew up with Pac-Man, would highly recommend this, its really fun for any ageA real "plug-n-play" unit, even included batteries. Took less than 5 minutes to plug into TV and play.
