A retro video game system? Let's open the box
0:10
Dave Taylor here and I just got this. This is the Blast from Act Games and this is the Bandai
0:17
Namco version which means that it includes Dig Dug, Galaga, Galaxian, Mappy, Pac-Man, Spy Kid
0:26
The Tower of Druaga, and Xevious. But they've redone all of them with actually their controller
0:32
and everything. So it has a wireless controller. They've redone the graphics so that it's HD at
0:38
1080i. Not quite 1080p but still doesn't look pretty darn good on a modern TV. You can save
0:44
and load games and you can even rewind the games to beat the level boss if you just keep finding
0:49
it too hard. But I'm going to review that in a separate video. Right now what I want to do is
0:55
I want to just open the box and let's see what's inside. So best way to do that is to actually
1:01
open the box and of course since it has a little sticker I didn't need my official box opening
1:06
tool, a knife. So let's see what's in here. So there's a tray and there's some paperwork. Let's
1:14
see what's going on. So the paper is the instruction manual, always helpful, and some very amusing and
1:22
very nice little Pac-Man stickers. I'm pretty sure my kids will want to snag that. And then how this
1:28
system works is they actually have a receiver unit and then they have the handle. The player
1:35
is actually just handheld and it's it's pretty light. In fact I can hear something in there. I
1:41
think it's probably because I need to put a battery in. But it's a really cool idea. So this is HDMI
1:47
So this is like an HDMI receiver unit. You plug it in you're good to go. Now I do notice there's a
1:53
little power here, a little micro USB. And I noticed over here in the box there's a micro USB cable
2:00
So I have a feeling I'm going to need to figure out how to power this. But it's also the case that
2:07
since this has a battery. Let's see what it's looking for here. Looks like two AAAs. That's easy
2:13
enough. And yeah I'm pretty sure that rattle will go away once I put batteries in. So two AAAs in
2:20
this. You play this and have all sorts of fun. And then this probably. Some TVs actually have power
2:27
on their HDMI. Pretty sure mine doesn't. So this one I'll probably have to figure out power to
2:32
So it doesn't come with a charger. It just comes with the cable. So not a huge crisis but something
2:37
worth knowing. Now I'm not going to actually hook it up right now because I know you want to. And I
2:42
know I really want to play these games. But I'm just doing an unboxing and hey it's nothing else
2:48
in the box now. So what I can show you is I can show you a couple of photos from the company
2:53
So the first one here is this is the main control screen. And you can see how you access all the
2:58
different games. So that looks pretty fun. I assume there's two pages to it because all the games that
3:04
I mentioned are not on that screen. But seriously mostly I just want this to play Pac-Man. I like
3:10
Pac-Man. It's like a great old school video game. And then if you're actually playing a game here's
3:16
what it's going to look like. So it's not glorious. They haven't redone the graphics to make it
3:21
three-dimensional with VR or anything like that. But old classic games I'm guessing they're probably
3:27
using the original code from the original games. And it's all tucked into this nice little wireless
3:32
handheld unit. How nice is that? And I can see on the top there's an on off switch. So it's exactly
3:39
what you want. And this is super fun. $29.99 at games.net. So you definitely will want to come back
3:47
And I'll actually see if I can drop a link in here so you can come back and you can actually
3:52
see the review. At which point I will actually show you some of the games in action. But for now
3:58
unboxing pretty straightforward. They haven't put a ton of effort into making this the most
4:03
beautiful interior. But you know what? It is totally functional and I am ready to go and
4:08
plug it in and get a blast of Bandai Namco gaming. So if you are so inspired go ahead and click on
4:16
that subscribe button. I appreciate that. And otherwise I will catch you in my next video
