Color FX II Classic Arcade Game: Pacman
Amazon.com
It's old school meets new technology with the handheld Color FX
II: Pacman game, a miniaturized makeover of the classic arcade favorite.
It would be a tempting overstatement to suggest that, in the intervening
20-plus years, the color LCD graphics of this new format have surpassed
those of the quarter-gobbling original, but the Color FX II (powered
by four AA batteries, not included) does provide a faithful re-creation
of the traditional Pacman pursuit.

Color FX II Classic Arcade Games: Missile Command
Amazon.com
It's old school meets new technology with the handheld Color FX
II: Missile Command game, a miniaturized makeover of the classic
arcade favorite. It would be a tempting overstatement to suggest
that, in the intervening 20-plus years, the color LCD graphics of
this new format have surpassed those of the quarter-gobbling original,
but the Color FX II (powered by four AA batteries, not included)
does provide a faithful re-creation of the high-flying archetype.
Players still advance to the next of five levels as they attempt
to defend their four cities, and score points by lining up enemy
weapons in the crosshairs and firing.

Color FX II Classic Arcade Games: Ms. Pac-Man
Amazon.com
It's old school meets new technology with the handheld Color FX
II: Ms. Pacman game, a miniaturized makeover of the classic arcade
favorite. It would be a tempting overstatement to suggest that,
in the intervening 20-plus years, the color LCD graphics of this
new format have surpassed those of the quarter-gobbling original,
but the Color FX II (powered by four AA batteries, not included)
does provide a faithful re-creation of the traditional Ms. Pacman
pursuit. Players still direct that rose-colored cutie through the
maze as she chomps as many dots as possible while eluding the green
ghosts. The FX II, with its slick, translucent mauve chassis, features
optional arcade sounds; although, with six control buttons, it's
a bit of a shame that the Ms. Pacman navigation function--in all
four directions--has been shoe-horned onto one button smaller than
your thumb. And, depending on the brightness of your room, the display
tends to be a little on the dark side. But, quibbles aside, whether
you're nostalgic for or curious about arcade history, there's a
lot to like in this original palm pilot.

Fun Time Games - Frogger
Amazon.com
The point of this electronic frog-hopping game is to travel across
a highway and river without croaking. By squeezing the mechanical
frog legs together, players can leap their frog across the screen.
The first challenge is a congested highway. Be sure to look both
ways--one wrong move, and Frogger is instant roadkill. Once the
leaping amphibian makes it across the highway, it has to cross the
river by hopping onto floating logs and lily pads. Jump too soon
(or too late) and poor Froggy sinks with a pathetic gurgling noise.
This is a one-trick game that gets more challenging with each successful
journey. Like many electronic toys, Frogger is addictive and makes
a great car, airplane, or restaurant toy. --Hannah Reynolds
