Product Synopsis
NCS Product Synopsis
Japanese toy manufacturer AM Keihin releases a
miniature arcade cabinet measuring
15
cm or 5.90" in height which is loaded with 108 games.
Given the low price point of the product, we're going to
assume that the games are execrable
and the quality of the screen and controls is horrible.
Despite these assumptions however, we're going to import
a few cases anyway because we're curious and hopeful.
Two styles are available for order - a purple
cabinet design and an aqua cabinet design which both
contain the same games. Looking at the promotional
flyer, one game appears to be a Breakout-like diversion
whilst the other one might be an adventure game of some
stripe. Even if the games are execrable, going
through all 108 games should be somewhat entertaining.
Update September 24, 2014
NCS received the Game Machines a couple of weeks ago and
have shipped all preorders. The controls consist of a
4-way joystick and two buttons labeled "A" and "B" along
with a "Reset," "Start," and "Option" button across the
top of the console. The "Start" button also serves as a
"Pause" button during gameplay. The screen is a
low-resolution LCD which does the job and the speaker is
located on the back of the cabinet. The music in all of
the games tend to be of the grating variety. Fortunately,
there's a volume dial located on the right side of the
cabinet so players can adjust the
volume or turn it off completely.
Brief details on the games are listed below. We'll
eventually get around to all 108 of 'em:

the ground and airborne; power-ups are available
