Five years ago, My Arcade released the Namco Museum Mini Player. It was a 10” cabinet with a vertical aspect ratio screen, loaded with real arcade versions of a number of classics like Pac-Man, Dig Dug, & Galaga. It was released right alongside the first wave of Micro Players that included NES ports of the same games. And yet, inexplicably, those took off like a rocket, while this product faded into the background. What happened to the Mini Player? Why did simpler products take off while this little beauty became a footnote in the story of arcade toys? Let's try to figure it out in this video. #namco #myarcade #pacman #genxgrownup 🟢 S H O P (affiliate) Namco Museum Mini Player » https://amz.run/7XC4 Data East Mini Player » https://amz.run/7XC6 http://genxgrownup.com/amazon 🟢 S U B S C R I B E http://GenXGrownUp.com/yt 🟢 P A T R E O N https://patreon.com/genxgrownup 🟢 M E M B E R S H I P Early access, custom emoji & more! https://bit.ly/395HEr9 🟢 G X G O N T W I T C H https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup 🟢 M E R C H http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch 🟢 P O D C A S T http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod 🟢 D I S C O R D http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord 🟢 S O C I A L http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp http://GenXGrownUp.com/twitter https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ 🟢 W E B S I T E http://GenXGrownUp.com 🟢 S P O N S O R S King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com 🟢 T H E M E "Grown Up" by Beefy » http://beefyness.com 🟢 C H A P T E R S 00:00 The Mini Player 00:51 Setting the Stage 01:43 Unboxing & Contents 04:08 Hardware Tour 09:41 Power On 20:10 Summary
