My Arcade Galaga Pocket Player Pro: Retro Portable Games, 2.8" Screen

If you grew up playing arcade games, this little handheld is pure nostalgia. Galaga and Galaxian play great, the controls are responsive, and the screen is bright and easy to see. The compact size makes it easy to throw in a bag or keep on a desk for quick gaming sessions. The build quality feels solid, and the rechargeable battery is a nice upgrade over older handhelds that constantly needed batteries. It's simple, fun, and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Whether you're buying it for yourself or as a gift for a retro gaming fan, it's a great way to enjoy two classic arcade games anywhere.

As a fan of the arcade classic, Galaga, and to a lesser extent, Galaxian, this portable handheld version of the game is very faithful and easy to play. It was a little confusing at first in getting the game to start as once you have which game you want to play selected, you have to then press the "credit" button on the top to progress to the one or two player selection option. But from there it's the same classic arcade games most folks know and love. The game screen is fairly large too and the shape of the device is very useful for keeping a good grip on it. Changing the batteries though may be a bit difficult as you have to undo two phillips head screws on the back panels to remove them and replace the two AA batteries in both compartments. There's a plug for a recharge cable but that, plus the batteries, are not included. Overall, a quality little video game, perfect for travel or playing while relaxing on a given day.

Super fun, well made. Good graphics. The battery compartment sucks as you need a very small screwdriver to access, most households probably do not have.

Bought this for my 11 yo’s bday gift (but secretly for myself as someone who grew up playing Galaga at the real arcades). The game quality, sound and graphics were solid. Even the feel of the console and the buttons felt solid. Sure the screen is small but what do you expect for a travel game? Definitely recommend this product and even would like to eventually collect the other game options.

Ms Pac-man was always one of my favorite arcade games and this handheld doesn’t disappoint. Easy controls with minimal navigation, just turn on and add credits (button) and select one or two player and that’s it. Game goes. Only controls are the left directional pad, which uses MyArcade’s common pad and is perfect for this application. I’ve had mine for about 8 months and have only used it intermittently since, but overall have nearly a dozen hours going on the same batteries I first put in. I do like that it can be powered by a plugged in usb-c charging cable if you don’t want to waste the batteries. My only complaint is the volume on this specific game from MyArcade. Even on max (volume setting between 0-4), you can barely hear the game. I use (wired) headphones and on max that allows me to actually hear the gameplay. *This doesn’t allow for bluetooth connectivity fyi. Lastly, you will need to acquire a very small phillips screwdriver in order to unscrew and screw the security screws for the battery cover plates. As someone who owns a set of small various screwdrivers, I was ok but can understand the frustration having getting this and getting home only to find I need an unusually small screwdriver to operate this and not having one. Option B) USB-C i I suppose. Overall quality is on par for a $40 (inexpensive) handheld toy. Made for common use but not built for abuse. It’s tough enough and will probably last many years under normal use. Currently, I have this and the Tetris, Galaga, & Street Fighter players. Working on the collection. Definitely a good value for the money. Perfect for any game enthusiast of vintage games, young and old, or anyone who is into collecting gaming and toys in general.

Galaga button to fire is not very responsive, really makes the game unplayable.

I have played several versions of these games on different platforms including other handhelds and to me this is by far the superior retro experience. The controls are very responsive with no lag and the screen orientation adds to the arcade feel and the game play is smooth and enjoyable.

This console is awesome! I almost returned it thinking it didn't work because I didn't read the instructions. I decided to call the product support and they called me back immediately even though it was off hours!! The gentleman was very patient and explained that I needed to push the credit button at the top since it's a copy of an arcade game. I was so embarrassed that I didn't read the instructions but he didn't seem to mind at all. Definitely worth it! I'll buy from this seller again! Hands down!

Compared to the other previous products My Arcade made, this one is pretty legit and good. It fits in my satchel and pocket perfectly just like a phone, you can take it any way you'd like, and to be fair if I were bored or just feeling a little awkward, I'd pull this baby out and try get the highest levels I could get, and the fact you get Galaga and Galaxian in this little device is insane, What more can you ask for?

Taille de la console parfaite, alimentée par piles ou USB C, enfin au moins 2 jeux présents Galaxian et Galaga, mais toujours trop chère en prix de base.

Ma veramente devo avere un cacciavite se voglio cambiare le batterie… ma veramente??? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ INCREDIBILE!!!

Macht Spass den Kult Klassiker darauf zu suchten, alles in allem die Pocket Player Pro sind gut;)

Sooo goooood!! If you have played Galaga before, this will treat you right! Just like I remembered!! I grabbed a USB C cord from a dollar store & it's been wonderful. I don't put batteries in it unless I'm taking it with me when I go out. Super fun! The sounds are so cool & real to the arcade game I remember. If you've never played Galaga before, you're in for some major fun!!
