Wrapping It All Up

For a quick gaming fix, these little self-contained units are hard to beat, especially for the price (Wal Mart has these games for $18.77 each). It's really hard to pick nits about the units with pricing like that — like I mentioned earlier, this is an incredible amount of gaming "bang for the buck." You get the controller, game system, and games for way less than a single game for any of the modern consoles.

Jakks TV Games would make a great gift for anyone who's interested in classic games. Heck, they make a great "impulse buy" for just about anyone.

Pros

  • Very faithful to the original games
  • Unique and well-designed controllers
  • All-in-one unit
  • Great low price

Cons

  • Not 100% faithful to the original games
  • Controllers occasionally "clunky"
  • High scores not saved
  • Some games just don't age well
