Cool but weird

[thecjmccauley]

Col

[jun2011jack]

i have pacman

[SportaChris]

I accidentally turned my Donkey Kong machine into one of these by doing that thing with my hands. Please help me.

[JeXsXsXe]

They're a little too excited.

[FlyTour69]

I love how this is so 80's!

[Henson222]

Too bad they didn´t show how the games look like on these things. :)

[videogameobsession]

I bet the arcade owner hates to see this guy show up!

"The bastard shrunk more of our arcade cabs and gave them to random kids... AGAIN!"

[Tec12welve]

My 4th grade teacher Ms. Spielman took mine. Had to tell my mom to come pick it up...what sucked is that it was a Xmas present that I wasn't supposed

[pcvideogamer]

nice they didn't show actual footage of the game...half the sales lost instantly! - they do the same today with modern games by staging mock-ups using pre-rendered computer graphics to sell the idea of the game, great for developers a shitty little piss off for game buyers.

[8BitBastard]

Yaaa.... lets see that game play, tricksters.

[Orpheusftw]

I've got one of those... sitting right on the other side of the room.

A cute novelty, but I have to say they weren't very good.

[stanleyopar91]

GALAXIAN IS MINE!...

No joke..I actually have that.

[TheBillbot]

I just picked up a Ms Pac Man One of these for a Buck.

[oldstvital2]

in todays world what mr arcade did would get him 5 to 10 in the big house for theft over $5000.........

[Funkdogg]

i bet these things are even more expensive now than they were back then

[chickenpoper]

Try hiding that in your pants with ur cellphone at school.

[WebVManReturns]

@chickenpoper Why do you think Parachute pants were invented?

[punji73]

i remember these little gaming machines, they were awesome lol

[AgentAlbert33]

do i still need to insert a coin? lol

[makedaevilmage]

@AgentAlbert33 haha yeah a mini coin xD

[mrbobbyh]

I remember the Donkey Kong game from that scene in Gremlins

[nicholascooney]

@mrbobbyh yeah Gremlins. False advertising. I have the Donkey Kong one and it doesn't have flashing lights.

[Metostopholes]

GALAXIAN IT'S MINE

[franklinpriante]

oh my god mini games coleco??? very good commercial,coleco forever.

[kinmanyuen]

lol now we have too many gadgets i can't remember them happy kids faces like that anymore :D

[legoproductions1100]

I got Galaxian for Christmas this year.Its awesome!

[TheDemoniusX]

I had ms pack man that shit was awesome. They were amazingly cool and better then anything released by tiger. wasted youth on tiger LCD games T_T.

[WebVMan]

Wow. Those were horrible portable game consoles.

[Luigi84289]

@WebVMan No they weren't. They were perfect size for car rides or for play in hotel rooms on trips.

[WebVMan]

But you have to set it up like a Virtual Boy. So, you can't just hold it and play it, except Pac-Man.

[jupiterscastle]

i always wanted one of these when i was a kid , but never got one, you see my parents didn't care back then, but i used to watch the newspapers and dream about having one

[shannontheguy]

@jupiterscastle Instead of watching the newspapers for one you should have been delivering the newspapers to buy one. Lazy kid. j/k :D

[kaykentucky]

i want all of them in my antique display cabinet!!!

[TheSpike3000]

@kaykentucky But they are not antiques.

[Kennyrules101]

wow this gives people reasons NOT to go to the arcade LOL

[Megaultraawesome99]

my parents used to have mini donkey kong and mini pac man when they wuz little 2 :D

[JeffroTV]

I had three of em......

[VanSweringenFilms]

I had the Atari 2600, and the game "combat"( which I think two tanks faced each other). I also loved the game "Adventure" where you had to get a gold key from a room. Does anyone remember these?

[HistoryofTek]

@VanSweringenFilms I never had Atari 2600 but a friend down the street had one and I used to go over there to play it.....never played Combat but I did play Adventure....that was a little like Nes Gautlet....

[HistoryofTek]

I had all four of these games at one time......they sat in storage for about 25 years and then a few years ago I sold Galaxian and Donkey Kong on Ebay......I still have Pac Man and Frogger......

[statefairshows]

i still have frogger

[KiCreativeStudios]

OMG hours and hours of gameplay and countless amounts of money....if I could only have it back.... =(

[TheBillbot]

I had the Pac-Man unfortunaltly it doesn't work anymore

[bugauga1]

Cool....a coleco commercial! Really cool games, but if you have the chance, try to get an exemplar of coleco´s ZAXXON....truly the best tabletop-version of all games!

[mlg73]

I still have my tabletop games:

Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Galaga, and Yes Ms. Pac-Man (If I remember correctly, I got it for my ninth birthday.) Thanks for posting this video.

[danawadd]

I had the PacMan version... wish I still have it...!

[dogeymon83]

Wait a minute!!! I was waiting to see some footage of how they played.......... didn't they show any???

[akumacornflakes]

Don't get to jazzed over it. They're about as much like a real arcade game as those Tiger wristwatch games are.

[indyj1698]

i used to want a donkey kong one but when i saw that it looked like a multicolor LCD screen they kinda seem a little crappy

[Mysterycat74]

I got the Frogger mini arcade game for Christmas 1983. I really wanted it because I thought I could hide under the after bedtime and secretly play Frogger all night long...I didn't realize how LOUD the volume was and you couldn't shut it off OR lower it! You could here the music a mile away! Plus, after playing it for about an hour...It got real old, real fast. I still have it though, still works too.

[Wrentastic]

My boyfriend just bought me one of these pac man games from an antique store, It still works :D.

[MischiefMakerStudio]

I remember getting into a bit of mischief with my Mom when I was in school & got my butt thrown into the Prinicipal's office when they called Mom to school because I got caught for playing video games in class.Hee, hee. On the way home my Mom says, From now on those video games of yours stay at home! I said, But Mom they're portable! (I was ahead of GameBoy). I don't care! Those video games don't leave ever leave my sight! She won the war. I give five stars,I added this to my favs.

[chazcov08]

But notice how they don't show you how crappy the video game play was on these things. I'm sure many a kid were totally pissed off on Christmas morning after firing these bad boys up... like, totally!

[tbarry1974]

OH HELL NO!!! PISSED???  Never!! I played Frogger and Pac Man for hours, they were GREAT!! Of course when I got these I was about 9 years old, but many hours of enjoyment from these.

[eyeh8nbc]

@chazcov08 What was really messed up was that some catalogs claimed that these played "exactly" like the real arcade games- Pac-Man was pretty disappointing but it was still fun. There was one catalog that showed a picture of the Donkey Kong game with a shot from the arcade game's screen on it, to give you the impression that's what the Coleco game looked like! I should've sued for false advertising. Got my own real Donkey Kong in 1988 though, and still have it!

[InsaneDavid]

THANK YOU for uploading this far clearer version than the one we've had for years!
