Toys and Games Reviews of Jakks Pac-Man Gold TV Game
Customer Review: Great value for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
we bought this game for $10 on sale. It's a great value for the price and certainly entertaining enough for our kids. We did not want a big game console, but still wanted to give our children the opportunity to play some games at home. This way they get to enjoy some of the old classics. The game includes Pac-Man, Pac-Man Plus, Super Pac-Man, Pac & Pal, Galaxians, Bosconians, Dig-Dug and Ralley X -- all pretty fun and safe games for our kids.
The hand held piece is somewhat small and does not have the best hardware, but so far it's held up. However, the joy stick and the fire button are starting to show some signs of wear at times, which is not to say that they don't work. They simply have a "slow" reaction on an occasion, nothing you'd not experience at an arcade. But considering the price, it's a good deal. You could not get this much gaming for $10 if you'd gone to an arcade. The console takes 4 AA batteries and plugs directly into the front of your TV with an RCA connection, yellow and white jacks (it's mono). I recommend it -- it's a good and inexpensive way to have children play some video games.
Customer Review: Fun, but could stand to be more functional
Summary: 3 Stars
I wanted this because Pac & Pal and Pac-Man Plus have never been released on consoles, so these Jakks plug n play controllers are the only way to get them at home. This one is a better deal than Jakks Super Pac-Man TV Game, since it has all its games and all the ones from the first Jakks Pac-Man PnP. The games all seem to play well and are pretty accurate to the arcade originals.
The problem I have with it is the joystick. It doesn't move as smoothly as it ought to, and it feels like it could break if you're a little too rough with it (though mine hasn't, so I could just be overreacting).
Customer Review: Very good value
Summary: 4 Stars
I was hoping the old patterns worked, but no such luck. It is tough to relearn everything from scratch. Three weeks and the wife just beat my high score today, now at 29,000. It has brought a lot of fun into a house with 4 computers, PS, PS2, GameCube, XBox, & XBox360. I already bought a second one of these as a spare, just in case the first should break. As we were teens in the 80's, we love this game. Throw on your favorite 80's Pop or Hair band and have fun all night!!!
Customer Review: Excellent, after 2 years
Summary: 5 Stars
I really recommend this product, my 6 years old has been playing with it since he was 4, and it still works.
Batteries last longer than expected.
Of course he does not complain about the round shape that sometimes makes it hard to find the red button.
Not educational, as almost every other game in the 80s, just for fun.
Customer Review: Takes me back to 1983
Summary: 5 Stars
This is so much fun. And it is just boring enough that you are not going to get addicted to Atari again like you did in 1983. This is a great gift for those friends who grew up in the 80s. No complaints. Fun toy.
Oh, I think this has a limited audience though. Don't try to give this to a 10 year old today, they will laugh at you.
