retroblast has some reviews of these things:

pretty cool for cheap, but one bad thing is that they are not exactly like the arcade versions.

MinerAl:
My only complaint with the Ms. Pac is that the joystick is an 8-way.  I've occasionally had the usual 8-way-stick-in-a-4-way-game problems.

The twisty stick for Pole Position is fun.  It is a self-centering 270

They did the opposite thing on the Pacman units. They fitted a 4 way joystick that plays Pacman surprisingly well, but Bosconian (one of the other bundled games) needs an 8 way stick. D'oh.

Still for the price you really can't complain.

tep0583:
My brother's Pac-man unit has an 8-way.

Its REALLY hard to hit the diagonals, though. It might as well be a 4-way.

Gunstar Hero:
Those things are great.

When I took my Pac-Man one over to show to my mom, she wouldn't let me leave with it. She said "This is mine now! You can find another!" Thanks Ma. =)

When I got a Ms. Pac-Man one, the colors were all bad. I imagine it was a defect, but ehh, I was starting on the MAME project and it was returned for another $30 in cabinet parts!
