My Arcade Atari Pocket Player Pro: Handheld Portable Video Game Console with 100 Games, 2.75" Color Display, Ergonomic Design

My old black and white unit finally died and needed replacing. I love this unit with the colors. It is a favorite game I enjoy. I just turn the sound off while playing especially at night so not to disturb anyone. I do like that it can be powered by a plugged in usb-c charging cable if you don’t want to waste batteries. NOTE: The battery cover requires a VERY small phillips screwdriver in order to remove and replace the security screws for the cover plates.

Son has used this for 6 months now almost daily. Once the sound is turned down, game has to be restarted to adjust volume again. One of the buttons just recently became stuck and we can't get it unstuck. Size is perfect for car rides which is what its used for. Its been a very loved gift and would buy again.

The screen is tiny but construction feels like good quality. This plug & play throwback is legit! Brings me back to sitting on the living room floor in front of the TV playing Super Street fighter 2 on Super Nintendo. It's perfect.

I bought the Atari version of this handheld as I grew up playing an Atari 2600 and wanted a little nostalgia of those days. First off, the unit is very attractive looking and is nicely made. The controls all work fine and there is a good variety of fun games installed. I haven't tried every game yet but the ones I have played are really fun to play. Certain games are a little challenging to play though since they may not have the appropriate controls for the game. For example, Crystal Castles is a game that used a track ball in the arcades. Using the d pad for this game makes it really hard to play. That is one my big gripe about this handheld. The lack of a trackball for games like Crystal Castle and Centipede and the lack of a paddle like controller for games like Breakout and Warlord. Playing Centipede and Missile Command is certainly doable with the d pad, but I had a really hard time controlling the paddle in Breakout with the d pad. I can understand the difficulty of putting a trackball on such a small unit, but I think they could have put some kind of small knob for a paddle control for games that used it, such as breakout. My only other minor gripe is the fact that it was not made to be rechargeable. You have to directly power it with a USB cable or use 4 AA batteries. All in all, it is a really nice unit that has a good variety of games and is really fun to play the memorable games installed on it.

An easy handheld game for adults and small children. This game builds the fine tuning of small motor skills, also helps concentration skills .

Where to start ... First of all this is not an arcade port, silly of me to expect that I guess. No no no, this has to be the Sega Genesis version. The Genesis' biggest weakness was its sound processor. The sounds have that distinct static/distortion/crackley sound. You get these lovely sounds through a single mono speaker that's loud enough.The animation is not as smooth and the colors not as bright as the arcade. 100 percent a Genesis port.The screen, oh the screen is just terrible. Even looking at it straight on the viewing angle is messed up. Tilting your head 2 degrees and a portion of the screen goes black. I didn't even know they made screens this bad still.The d pad is too poorly designed to be reliable to do anything. Ryu's fireballs and dragon punches cannot be executed reliably. Want to press down and back to avoid being tripped? You wish. The d pad pretty much pushes all the way flat, so all the buttons up, down, left and right all press at the same time, it needs to rock on a center stud in the middle of the d pad.The XYZ ABC buttons work, would like them with half the travel that they do have.Would I recommend this product? Sadly no. I could forgive all the short comings of this product if I could play it and actually have fun. The d pad is what keeps this device from being playable. If you cannot reliably perform special moves then there is no point to playing at all.Pros: It looks cool and has a super sweet package it came in.
