Just like playing the old-school games
My adult son loved this from the first time he saw it. He only played with it for a little while and said it was just like playing the old-school games, except it's so small that it's hard to play with adult-size fingers. He said it definitely has a good selection of cool games, and it made him long for the full-size arcade games again.His 10-year-old was dying to play it as soon as he saw it. He's the one I actually bought it for. He said it is "awesome, " a really cool little arcade," and that it was "very fun playing the games my dad used to play when he was my age." He said it is easy to operate, except that the buttons aren't labeled, but it doesn't take long to figure them out. It's easy to switch games even though he sometimes had to click the reset button a few times to switch. Other than that, everything works great and he is absolutely sold on it!His twin 4-year old brothers are also dying to try it, but they'll have to grow up a bit more because it wouldn't last long in their little hands. Instead they like to watch him play and can't wait to get bigger so they can do it themselves.As for me, it's a unique and cute little game system that charged quickly and easily.

Awesome with the classics
I bought this as one of the Bday presents for my boys white and green. They can’t stop playing with it. My older son connected it to the TV and says he really likes how when he loses the game does not start over but continues from the last point reached. My younger one said this game is favorite becomes it has different sonic games including 3D. He also loves the Guku game. Makes me feel so good when my boys think I’m a cool mom for finding what they enjoy and surprising them. I totally love all of the options like the flat rectangle battery,(comes iwuth the game) or USB (also comes with the game), or conventional batteries, and connectors wire for TV play.

Fun way to relive some childhood memories
I thought that an arcade-styled gaming device holding 156 SEGA games would be a gimmick (and probably not officially authorized), but considering its low price, I thought I'd give it a try as it would make for a nice, novelty gift.PROS- Retro arcade design with joystick and 6 buttons- 156 SEGA games- microUSB rechargeable- Roughly 1.5 hour play time and 1 hour charging- Connect the arcade to a large TV screen using an RCA-style connectorCONS- Volume button did not adjust the loudness at all- Volume starts at a high loudness whenever you turn on the arcade (it does not remember the last setting)- Joystick is not of a high quality (it's more like a directional game pad in the style of a joystick)- Game selection could be a bit tedious to scroll through- Screen is not the best at most viewing angles, and as such, gaming on it for a long time could be a bit of an issue for the eyes- No ability to save progressGAMES- The star of this game collection is, of course, Street Fighter- My other favorites were Tekken, Alex Kidd, Mortal Kombat, and a racing game I could not remember the name ofWhether this game collection is authorized by SEGA or not, overall this is a multi-game compilation packaged in a neat, retro-inducing arcade cabinet. Although I would not recommend it for extended play, it is fun nonetheless to play some old games. It also makes for a GREAT gift idea for nostalgic reasons.If you found this review helpful, please click the "Yes/Helpful" button below to encourage me to write more. Thank you!

Great little game to get them off an IPAD
I am not an IPAD mother. My kids do not own them so I am always looking for ways to allow them to play games, as well as still feel like they're in the electronic world in some way. This has been awesome for my Son, but also the girls as it has some barbie games and Little Mermaid! Tons of fun with Sonic, Mario, Tetris and some games I have never heard of! The only thing that I personally wish it had was Donkey Kong haha, but beggars cannot be choosers! Overall great buy with a surprisingly good display - especially if you like to travel and not stick your kids in front of screens!

Stereotypical Chinese Knock Off, But Its Awesome
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. This is totally a stereotypical "Chinese knockoff". It's not bad at all. Honestly, I like it. I'm glad I had it in my mini arcade collection... That being said...This is one of those classic "100-in-1" type get ups. The main menu is a list of games and you scroll through and choose one to play.What had me laughing is the music that plays while you're on the main screen is "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". ... Why? 😂The games on here are a collection of generic games as well as some severely pirated games like Ecco the Dolphin or Strider or the Xmen game on the Sega Genesis.Another amusing feature is that it has a lithium battery... But it has a place to put 3 AA batteries... But there's no connectors to actually make use of the batteries. Essentially it's just a hollow non-functioning battery compartment. Hilarious.Also, the controls are a little flimsy feeling. I'm afraid they'll break.Like I said, I do like it... But yeah... Lol
