Cute but not something I would want to try and play on --- Hell I have a hard enough time seeing the character on my mini galaxian build with a 7" screen - can't imagine my eyes trying to see on that 1 1/2"+/- screen - not to mention trying to use that micro joystick and buttons with fat fingers  :dunno

That isn't an arcade machine.

According to google an arcade game is.

"An arcade game or coin-op is a coin-operated entertainment machine typically installed in public businesses such as restaurants, bars and amusement arcades. Most arcade games are video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games or merchandisers."

What we are looking at meets no part of the definition.

I wonder why they would use coin-op as a definition since payment now can come in many forms.

Isn't this a video game that you could play in an amusement arcade? I don't see how this doesn't qualify as an arcade machine.

I look forward to weeks of in-depth semantics discussion.
