Haynes H101165 Retro Arcade Construction Kit, Black

Excellent little gadget for my dad. He loved putting it together

Great fun to make and one of the few things that kept my teenage son off his computer for an hour or 2.Only downside is that the actual game is a bit flawed and ends up with the balk going backwards and forwards between 2 stationary paddles.

My eldest child (42) loved this 😁

great product great price

The description clearly states that a soldering iron is required. And while I accept that unlike myself, many people may not have grown up in a house where not owning one is unthinkable....it's not like they're difficult to obtain or expensive. Soldering is a great skill to have.What you get is a nice little "Pong" style game which is genuinely coin operated. It's slightly fiddly to put together but I got it going first time in around 30 minutes. The instructions are a little odd, in that they may have been translated from another language. But they make sense after you've read them a couple of times Once complete it's likely to be the kind of game you play once in a while for years to come. And you can use it as a money box!

It could have made it clear that soldering was going to be needed to make this, who has tools to do that lying around? Waste of money as can’t make it or use it!

Bought as present for 16yr old loves building electric gadgets
