Great review! I’ve got a couple classic MyArcade consoles on display in my home arcade (PacMan & Galaga) and this looks like a great addition for consideration.
dude its a shelf piece no matter what kind of outputs they could slap on it 'man can't wait to get home and play pole position on my palm sized arcade!' said nobody
Show-Me Retro, Yeah, I bought this for my brother for his Christmas present. It's one of his favorite arcade games. For me, I only by these smaller replicas to display. Since I have an even smaller replica of Pole Position in my Home Arcade, I'm going to pass on the My Arcade version and hold out until a company like New Wave Toys or Numskull brings one out looking like the actual machine. Sure, it might not happen, but I'm willing to chance it. I did buy the Buy Stuff Arcades Racing mod for my Arcade1Up Out Run, which added both Pole Position and Pole Position II to the cab. Unfortunately, the Arcade1Up wheels aren't free spinning, so it's difficult to play either. Still doable, but not ideal. I'm glad Buy Stuff Arcades did come out with a free spinning wheel, so I'd keep a look out on those kits if you're interested in games that use them like Pole Position. They even have a configuration that doesn't require buying an Arcade1Up to use it. And definitely much cheaper than a $1,000 racing multicade cab. So many solutions out there, a great time to be in the hobby (unless you're looking for new IP Arcade1Up's, which I know you aren't :) ) Glad you're liking this new little guy! vgv
@@show-me-retroI agree! I have a full size cabinet playing a retro pie set up, but it can’t do the racing games. Pole position is my favorite so I might have to pick this up!
I love the retro nostalgia, but it just looks too small, the screen too tiny to really enjoy. I think I'll stick to playing Pole Position in MAME on my PC, a better experience.
@@show-me-retro I use XBOX controller for most of my PC games. Sadly, I don't have a decent racing wheel these days, which you really need for games like Pole Position. Playing this game with a standard controller was really funky.
@@GamersBay I just received a 3d printed wheel extension with a rubber grip specifically made for this PP arcade and it makes it even more playable... little pricey for what it is but still pretty cool

Keep up the good work My Arcade, this is definitely a step in the right direction
Loving the Arcade hack 😍 Never knew that, thanks 🤩🤩

This one sets the bar pretty high, really curious what they will put out next. Appreciate the comment 🍻
I remember my grandma's local pizza place had only this machine and we use to beg her for quarters LOL
@@IowaRetroGamerDad This game holds up well. As well it should, it's made by Namco
I think it's the best looking one out of the bunch I've seen. No HDMI out kinda makes it a shelf piece but it looks cool for the price.
@@mikeyyoon It is a shelf piece but it's way more playable than something like a Zoltar from NWT imho

@@im_cart8656 it's a playable shelf piece, is it not?
@@show-me-retro yea technically.. but nobody a year from now will be. it's for the shelves for 30-50 year old men.
@im_cart8656 I rest my case, appreciate the support 🍻

@@videogamevegas I agree, it is a great time to be a gamer. And no, I'm not buying any 1ups anytime soon Lol. Appreciate the comment VGV
Only review I watched. Not sold on it still. 😂😂😂. But it’s cool.
It's not bad at all, HDMI out would have been sweet but still a great way to play the arcade rom
Great vidéo!
Did you get any issues with the "home" button on the unit ? Mine do nothing.
@@Eric-on6kr Thanks, no I did not. Just the down shift was not as satisfying click
Yes and yes.
I'm like you... played it in the arcades as a kid, and now im 54 😮 Can it be powered by usb-c alone rather than Old School batteries 🤔
Yes
I'd rather have a full sized arcade machine with a bunch of roms on it. Maybe some way to switch the buttons and joy sticks for different games
@@LorainPsycho you can't play Pole Position with a joystick
@@show-me-retroI agree! I have a full size cabinet playing a retro pie set up, but it can’t do the racing games. Pole position is my favorite so I might have to pick this up!

@@GamersBay what are you using for controls?
@@show-me-retro I use XBOX controller for most of my PC games. Sadly, I don't have a decent racing wheel these days, which you really need for games like Pole Position. Playing this game with a standard controller was really funky.

Can it be hacked into? have you taken it a part at all?
Hackable I'm not sure but it's crossed my mind to open it up. I haven't seen anyone on YT with any sort of hacks thus far
@@show-me-retro Would be cool to play spinner games like Arkanoid or Warlords in addition to racing classics!
