--- Quote from: RayB on December 31, 2017, 01:22:31 pm ---I thought I read the Tiny Arcades were exclusive to Cracker Barrel?? Anyways, I GOT ONE! yay!! Ms Pac Man. Very cool little collectable. It almost appears emulated but it could be coded from scratch (if so, they hired someone competent who actually gave a crap about delivering as close to the real game as possible, within the limits they had). The sounds are accurate (but low bitrate), mazes are accurate, but graphics reduced for a lower resolution and gameplay mostly authentic. Where they had to cut corners was not only frame-rate as mentioned above, but the ghosts and fruit positions are not updated every frame. Their AI also doesn't seem to be quite the same (they seem to wander around more and the red one doesn't seem faster or more likely to zero in on you, as far as I can tell so far...only got to maze 2). Cut scenes are there! I do worry the joystick will break quickly, so in the end this won't be getting much play. Totally happy with it though and would love to get the others. Also got an Atari t-shirt, PacMan tshirt, space invaders socks... The retro is strong this year! --- End quote --- FYI to all, I can't even search these at crackerbarrel's website so I gather they lost the license to carry them? google shows a hit to a specific page but it's now coming up empty. As a Canadian who couldn't get these before, I now welcome this as 4 of these are now available on amazon.ca (through a US reseller but still, at least I can get them now!). Walmart.ca is coming up empty though, so perhaps amazon.ca is the only option for us at this time. Price isn't horrible at less than $30 CND including shipping so looks like I got no choice now ... ;). |
