Why don't you read the manuals?
I wonder which of these was released 1st? If the Micro was 1st it could explain why they got the sound right with the Tiny. Since this is a version 1 Micro, maybe they fixed things with a version 2? Also, did that Micro case really say "Authentic Sounds"? WTF
That's too small for gen x. They need reading glasses at this point. (I'm not being mean, just saying)
Just cuz they add a key chain to something, doesn't make it good for keys.
The light up marquee and cabinet graphics make the tiny arcade a nice collectible. The attention given to sound and gameplay is equally impressive. You can hang it from your car rearview mirror. Lol.
Ermahgawd those sounds!!! Owww!
Hi
im curious to see a review of the tiny table top pac man. It looks cool! That micro pacman should have been yellow plastic…im not into that clear plastic look at all…even the sound is aweful
3 things.
1. Before I watched this video, I for sure figured I'd want the micro one just due to its smaller size. After video, Holy hell I can't stand it. And I'm really impressed with the tiny/mini arcade. If I find it for $10, I think for sure I'm gonna grab it.
2. I'm glad us distinguished adults don't need manuals haha. I'd rather learn by trial and error, even if I reach the point of wanting to tear my hair out.
3. Is pacman your favorite game? Have you tried the pacman champion editions on ps4/xbox/Nintendo switch? It puts a pretty interesting spin on the game. I think I prefer the simplicity of the originals though.
The controls are too small, and the screen is very hard on my eyes.
I like the light up marquee. Wish it had usb plug in so you can connect to your computer or outlet
I like the tiny arcades mostly for the look of a arcade cabinet. I bought the Galazian, and Galaga ones for 12.88 each at Walmart. I hear Cracker Barrel sells a exculsive one that has Ms Pacman, and Galaga on the same tiny cabinet. Big points for the light up marquee. I have plenty of the my arcade cabinets, and two 3/4 size 1up arcade cabinets, and they don't light up.
Great dust collectors
Don't forget you also reviewed the Super Impulse Cracker Barrel exclusive Tabletop version of this as well. And just in case it matters for search results, I wanted to let you know that across your channel, Pac-Man is spelled both with and without a hyphen in video titles somewhat randomly.
Hey Jon, another great video, I'm not defending the sound on the micro, but I can tell you that has to be a piezo style buzzer that they are forcing pwm sound through. I've built some raspberry pi portables and when I tried to use the piezo buzzers as speakers I got that same sound. Even a small speaker, will need an amp circuit and physically more room than that micro has. It's a pity, but I can see why they did what they did. A bad choice, but I can see why they did that. As Scotty would say, 'Ye canna change the laws of physics Cap'n!'

Oh hey! Glad you checked these out! Great video as always!
Tiny Arcade Pac-Man sound effects: Waka Waka Waka! Micro Arcade Pac-Man sound effects: Yi! Yi! Yi!
And I thought the sounds on the 2600 port of the game were bad. But that Micro Arcade version is just flat out terrible. So terrible in fact that it makes the aforementiond 2600 port sound decent in comparison…
You should do another super impulse tiny arcade review in other videos. For example: galaga, space invaders, mrs PacMan, etc.
I have the micro arcade Pac-Man, it’s very good!
Can the micro arcade fit in your wallet?
All that stuff behind you still in the packages in mint condition…WOW. And the ever-growing list of stuff on the included sales flyer…yeah, I just got a new one and wow, they have a LOT of stuff.
I got a one of the Micro Pacmans from the Gamestop clearance bin. Honestly for what it is, it's fine. Dont really wanna play for more than 10 minutes at a time, but its impressive that there's a color backlit screen. For what they are, its alright.
