But the true beauty of this puppy comes when you install four AA batteries, hook it up to the RCA phono jacks on your TV and switch it on. Pac-Man Collection is probably about $25, but I paid $15, so I am happy. For starters, the console’s presentation is appropriate for the casual player that is likely to buy it: nostalgic and fun. Jakks Pacific got just about everything right with this unit.

And being the picky vintage game enthusiast I am (as some might have noticed by my harsh NEX review), this is a miraculous thing. Sure, this thing has probably been reviewed to death by now, but I really wanted to share with you how cool I think this thing is. I have the venerable Atari TV Games unit that looks like a vintage Atari 2600 joystick, the highly underrated and very hackable Commodore 64 30-in-1 unit, the Namco 5-in-1 unit (with Pac-Man, Galaxian, etc), and of course, the subject of this mini-review, Jakks Pacific’s Namco TV Games – Ms.

So far I am an owner of four “TV Games” units.
