Ai CAR FUN [3399 Games in 1] Arcade Game Console 11S Full HD Retro Video Arcade Game Console 2 Players 3D Pandora's Box with 3399 Retro Games for PC/Laptop/TV/PS3 1

When I bought this unit, I was looking to scratch my nostalgic itch for videogames of the 80s and 90s. From that perspective, this product worked! Lots of games, plenty of entertainment potential.But then, all the issues began to pop up. First, the unit does not always power up. When it doesn’t, it makes a funny humming noise, almost like it’s trying to start, but can’t. After it’s finally on (sometimes after 5-10 minutes, sometime I’d just give up), the unit kept resetting itself, even mid-game. For every 30 min of play time, I would have to deal with one or two resets. Very annoying. That alone made playing impractical.Second, the built-in speaker is a hassle, not a desirable feature. The sound quality is mediocre — which is fine, I’d want to run the sound through the TV anyways. But if you lower the volume on the speaker, the volume on the TV goes down too! Well, turn off the built-in speaker, right? That option was unavailable in the settings. So, I either played without sound or with the little speaker blasting for all in the room to hear.Third, and maybe this is just user error, I could not change the screen setting to fit the picture better on my 42-inch, 16:9 format TV. The image fits horizontally and chops the top and bottom of the game screen. In addition to losing “screen real estate”, the image gets more pixelated because it needs to expand to fit side-to-side. Playing Outrun was impossible, I couldn’t tell if that giant pixel on the horizon was a car coming, a bush, the beginning of a curve ahead…Fourth, the buttons and directional stick are very “click-y”. This is a personal thing, but I dislike loud buttons that go click-click-click all the time. It’s distracting. The clicks were often louder than the built-in speaker itself.Lastly, I could not make the unit work with my computer monitor. I tried all the connections available, nothing worked.In the end, I had to return the product. I didn’t want to do it, it had potential, but there were just way too many issues to deal with. I spent more time troubleshooting cable connections and surfing the settings menu than actually having fun playing games.Having it at home for 2 weeks made me want to look for a good product, since I really enjoyed the idea of playing some old-school arcade games at home. I guess I’ll need to search a bit more.

I got the pandora arcade stick just as described. It has the 3399 games like it said, lots of classic arcade games such as pacman, galaga, space invaders, asteroids, street fighters, king of fighters, lots of neo geo and capcom games.

Fun system with great games. My wife and I beat 2 games in about 1 hour! Great Value!

If you shut off the power even after you save it, you lose all progress.
