Wisamic Pandora's Box 4S Double Stick Arcade Video Game Console 800 Games, 1280x720 Full HD, 2 Players with HDMI and VGA Output

This is a Pandora Box 4S with 800 games on it. It does have the opening intro video that is a little annoying, This goes away after the box is on and you don't see it anymore. To open the box there is 3 screws at the front that opens it . I looked inside and it has a Pandora box 4s PCB and the normal joystick and buttons . I did notice a fan on the left side to remove heat from inside of the box. It does generate a little noise but nothing excessive. For the price and that you get 800 games the buttons and joystick are pretty good. I was originally thinking about upgrading the joystick and buttons to sanwa but maybe will leave these in or a while.

Picked this up for my employees breakroom and as a person that grew up going to arcades this thing is awesome! We were all very impressed with the stick quality as well (made sure to test it out on Street Fighter). Couple things to point out:1) yes the intro is annoying on power up. It's only 50secs. Deal with it. You've got 815 games!2) unfortunately it doesn't save high scores after powering down =(3) wish it came with a lock system (like the back of laptops and TV where you can add a cable lock). Might have to see if facilities can rig something up. As of now we have to disconnect the system and lock it up every night.4) So hard to find a list of games online because there are several Pandora 4s lists and while the games are consistent what might be game #451 on one system might be different on another. Also would suggest someone put out an Excel format sheet (an employee has volunteered to do so with pleasure).5) It has USB controller(?) options but haven't tested it yet. Eventually we will have to try this out for four player gaming. Speaking of which, no Gauntlet 2 or Legends. =( 6) Some games still have the asian/chinese writing on it. We were playing SF:3rd Strike and the super art select only showed the Japanese characters. That made it pretty annoying.7) I noticed in scrolling through the game list there were a few duplicate games. It's possible they may be different versions but the title did not say so. For instance, there are 2 Ms. Pacman's on the system. There is a 3rd but it does say Ms. Pac-Man *insert version her*. The other two titles are identical.I will update this review as we find out more.Update:1) It seems to me and at least one other person who knows their games that some of the sounds from the games are missing. Ex: While playing Donkey Kong Jr. we noticed that you cannot hear DKJ running or jumping as opposed to the nostalgic sounds in the 80's.2) As mentioned above, some games have their "how to play" section in Japanese.3) Since this is basically all true to port arcade games there is no option to be able to change controller configurations. This makes it really annoying for games like KOF and Samurai Showdown.4) There is no battle mode for Bomberman!!5) Not all Pandora 4s have the same games. This particular model does NOT have Rygar and Rampage (two games employees were looking forward to). Interesting as other (more expensive) Pandora 4s systems do have these games.6) We see no need for 10 different versions of Street Fighter 2. Seriously. Just pick the most recent (official version) if anything. Most of use don't care for "Rainbow edition."In light of the above (especially number 4) I'll be dropping my review to 4 stars but would rather give it 3.5.Update #2:Did some research and discovered that no two Pandora boxes are the same. Obviously different models will have a different number of games but also what games you get really depend on the seller. Unfortunately we were going for budget and assumed Rampage would be on this unit since we saw other Pandora 4S with it. Sadly it's not.There were a few games that really are hard to play with a stick and were made for either trackball and/or paddle. Ex: Centipede, Millipede, Arkanoid, and Forgotten Worlds (which is essentially useless to play on stick).We tried accessing the game settings and you can change difficulty and lives but that's pretty much it. There was no way we found to change the default setting of SSF Turbo from turbo 1 to turbo 2. Also Ms. Pacman always plays at expert speed and never starts slow.The most annoying fact are the amount of redundant games on here that made it a big waste of memory. For instance, it has Street Fighter Alpha 1, 2 and 3 AND Street Fighter Zero 1, 2 and 3. Pointless because Alpha and Zero are the exact same games other than Zero is Japanese! The same can be said for a small handful of games. That essentially puts drops the game count from 800 to maybe 700. 100 less games! I am now dropping my rating down to 3 stars!

We have been playing with the game system for a little over a month. Overall - it’s been fun. My kids and their friends have played many of the games. Only tried a few dozen so can’t speak about all of them. The shoot them up and fighting games worked well just like the original arcade version. Kids liked these.Ms. Pacman ran too fast - so this game needs to be slowed down a bit. 1942 was a lot of fun. The moms loved playing this game.Some games are too hard with joysticks like Arkenoid - but that’s an issue with the game style and not the platform.Overall - game system feels rugged. Unit came boxed really well with all the cables needed to connect. There were extra buttons added as well to replace any that wear out. Unit has built in speakers which I turn down but helpful if you use a monitor that doesn’t have speakers. Joysticks are firm and responsive. I think this unit is a good deal. Boot time is noticeable but not a deal breaker.

Nothing but problems, I have only been able to play it once because the screen is screwee up and green

Power plug was defective did not work I had to open the power plug and Resoldier broken peace in the power plug and then super glue it back together. Once I soldiered the broken peace I plugged it in the pandora box and finally powered on for 160 bucks I really was disappointed on how cheap the power plug was and that it arrived broken very cheap quality The Pandora box on the other hand once I fix the plug was very enjoyable for $160 I really did not have to put any of my own personal time from work to fix a brand new device that came in broken

All my life I wanted an freakin arcade and finally I own one....Well kind of. This thing is awesome and works flawlessly. The intro music is annoying but other than that it has just about every old school game I've ever wanted. I love this thing. It also was shipped to my house in under three days using my prime account. Get it if you can.

Didn't work. Got sound but no video, even after extensive trouble shooting. Sending it back. Update: Seller offered to help make it right, gotta give them credit. Unfortunately had already sent it back.

Great and accurate game system BUT could use the following to make it 5 stars:-GET RID OF THE ANNOYING INTRO and voice effects after you select a game.-replace the front screws with lock hinges to make it easy to replace or repair-put a carrying handle for on the go gaming sessionsOne last thing. This system is great but still missing several games that you can get on a 4s+ box for 20 dollars more such as: mercs, dj boy, kageki, crime fighters, wrestle fest, and alot of top down data east shooters (heavy barrel, etc) and more. Look up the list as wisonic makes a 4s+ box with these games that I should have looked at before I purchased this one.Is still a great system with alot of classic arcade games and a good buy regardless
