Customers are saying

Customers commend the Centipede game itself as a great and authentic replica. However, the cabinet's small size is a frequent point of concern, with some suggesting that other options offer a better size for the price. The price point is also considered high by some customers, especially considering the limited playtime. Ultimately, opinions are divided between the quality of the game and the value offered by the overall package.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    It was an expensive spontaneous purchase. It was worth it. I grew up in the 80’s and was always at the mall arcade on Friday nights!! Now I can recall the glory days in miniature and kill some centipedes too!!

    Having purchased many video games recently,, this one is pretty good. It's not a knock-off or generic game. However, for the price, over $100 even on clearance, it is quite pricey. There are other options like quarter arcades or arcade1UPs that give you a larger cabinet. No actual working coin door either. Controls are great and screen and sound is great, but speaker is not very loud.

    First off no access to the dip switches or service menu. Also it has a nasty battery drain. The way to fix that is getting a cable and upgrading the firmware from a manufacture. New wave toys. The screen looks great and is very playable. All emulation is done via android. Over all pretty cool to have. Its a conversation starter.

    I can’t overstate how great a replica this little unit is. The trak ball feels great and all the details are amazing. Nothing was overlooked when they set out to make an authentic arcade machine with a much smaller footprint and price tag. The game really immerses you and it feels almost like you are playing on a much bigger machine. I’m so glad I picked this up and I look forward to getting more.

    Almost as Addictive as the Real Thing

    I'm amazed at how close this is to the actual arcade game. That said, because of the tiny trackball, game play is somewhat hampered and in my case, you have to play much more cautiously. Still, for the scale of this game, it's amazingly playable and super addictive. My high score so far is 64K. I've scored 350K on the arcade version and I doubt I'll ever see that on this... but still fun.

    Cool Display Piece

    This is a really cool display piece. It plays well for its size and is rechargeable. It is good if you have limited space for a bigger cabinet. However, it is a little pricey for something you won't play regularly.

    This is for your puppy, not your kid. Awesome if you want to display all the “functioning” tiny replicas on your desk at work or in your break room! For reference, the “joystick” is smaller than a dime. The entire unit is smaller than an 8.5x11 sheet if notebook paper! I don't hate it, just wish I’d have paid more attention to the dimensions - rookie mistake. Take heed. Hope this helps!
