My Arcade Space Invaders™ Micro Player™ - Mini Arcade Cabinet, Dgunl-3279

As an old school arcade game player, I really appreciate and am grateful for all the hard work the My Arcade team put into this premium edition of their Space Invaders handheld! It duplicates the original Space Invaders experience so very well. Even the semi-reflective space background effect is well replicated here. They also use the original arcade ROM so the play experience is spot on. While the speaker is a little soft, that does not detract from a fantastic experience. This is highly recommended for its build and design quality, original arcade playability, and overall attention to detail. I really hope My Arcade will continue to produce more premium units as they are really great. Sure, the cabinet design is not exactly perfect. You can look into the Numskull's premium effort...and pay 5 times the price for it. But, this is such a great value for what you pay for. Again, highly recommended!

ただただ懐かしい。

I remember seeing Space Invaders for the first time when it first appeared back in the late 70's. At the time it was groundbreaking and became a massive hit. All these years later and now you can buy your own fully working mini replica of the real thing. I reckon it must be around a tenth scale and appears to have virtually all the features where possible found on the real cabinet. The buttons have a nice feel and it seems to be made of good quality plastic. It's an official Tatio product as well. The screen is supposed to replicate the back-lit mirrored effect seen in some machines and it does a good job of that although it does seem to sit further back inside the cabinet. You can power it by 4 AA batteries or by USB. One point to make is that although it will record the high score ( as in the real machine) it is lost once the power is switched off. A bit of a pity there isn't a backup battery. I think it looks good as a decorative retro item even if you don't play on it. There are a number of these mini arcade machines appearing now but this seems to be the best so far.

Space Invaders is my favourite mini arcade from My Arcade. I was very surprised at how realistic it looks and sounds. The moonscape looks wonderful with the invaders floating above it. The mini arcade is a bit harder to play because of the small screen and controls, but it's still a lot of fun. The batteries last a long time, but the micro USB port is a better option. When battery power is too low, the marquee lights flicker and the ship randomly moves and fires.

Authentic feel of a space invaders arcade, just dont expect to play qlot on this. It will mostly collect dust on your shelf but it is a masterpiece, especialy since the screen is done like it was in the original arcade version
