"Mastersoft Mobile Solutions - Games Pack 2 - Arcade Classics for Pocket PC. Relive the halycon days of the 80s with these 5 ARCADE CLASSICS for your Pocket PC! Featuring lousy graphics, tacky gameplay and squeeky sounds, Games Pack 2 reproduces the simple games of the day."
You have to love a game pack that is described like that. :lol:

We have a full size Mrs Pac-Man (or Mrs. PucMun if you prefer  ) in our living room. I was just thinking of the irony that I have had this particular game on multiple home and mobile systems, and while the gameplay is the same, the experience of playing it on the full size machine is much better.

Don't remind me  I sold mt full size Asteroids for �50 and my Derfender for �250. I was told I was lucky to get that much. The plan was to buy them back when I had space but of course they are �1000 and �2000+ respectively now.
Gutted.

We paid about $800 US a little over a year ago for a machine in excellent condition. We are adding a room on the back of the house so that we can build a little arcade. Long term, we want a setup with a pinball machine, a few other classic arcade games, pool table, slot machine, darts, and a mini craps table.

One word: Cheesy!
These knock-off programs kind of remind me of the old, black and white, generic BEER cans of the late 70s & early 80s.

Southport fair in UK was smashing up machines in 1988 which is when I got mine. There were Pacmans, Phoenix, Asteroids, Defender, Rally X, Centipede etc. All being smashed and thrown into skips. Wonder how those guys feel now  I saved the Asteroids and Defender.

While they are a knock off, the screens look pretty accurate, except for the colors in the space invaders game. Of course, if the music is not right, forget it.
