I used to have one of those.  Ms. Pacman.  I think my dad played it more than me.  It got played so much, it actually wore out.

Is nothing sacred?  Why do they have to repro all the cool stuff.  I'm still pissed about them re-releasing Rock-em-sock-em robots.

Saw those awhile ago, awful compared to the Coleco ones.

BTW the handheld retro games I posted before are about the size of the usual Scrabble, Hangman handhelds. A little bigger and about twice as thick. Not bad for $10.

Ahhhhh memories. :)

Those are awesome.

I would buy one if they had Galaxian, that's the one I had as a kid and I LOVED it. Not only was it totally cool, it was actually a fairly faithful reproduction of the arcade game (music and all).

I used to have a donkey kong. I played it for ever. No idea what ever happened to it. My brother and I probably tried to take it apart one day when my folks were gone.

Ah rockem sockem...

Mattel had me do a demo for the release... sent me a brand new one in box. You wouldn't believe how many people have come over to my house and freaked out because I had a brand-new pristine rockem... they think it's original. I let em know, though. My nieces and nephews have been playing it like crazy, so I think it's pretty cool that they brought it out again.

Check this out and throw it on your cab, it's a pretty amazing simulation.

Thanks man,

Yeah, I think the Donkey Kong sim is really well done.

I played a couple and the sims are really good, especially the tabletop ones.

Tron and Dungeons and Dragons, that's some good retro.
