I also enjoyed the retro sounds that came through, like the marching of the Centipede characters, as well as the zapping noise coming from your ship. Otherwise, though, it runs just as smoothly as the arcade game, and it's easy to make out what's happening. Sitting at about 12' in display size, I can understand how those with poor vision might be thrown off at the smaller setup. Once charged, however, you'll be hard pressed to find differences between the arcade game and this thing (aside from size, obviously). It can take a little while for the unit to charge back up (though it lasts around a couple of hours off a full charge), so just keep that in mind. The Replicade doesn't run off of batteries, and is instead a rechargeable unit, with a USB cord included so you can charge via your computer or adapter. It all works pretty nicely, but there is one thing to keep in mind. And you can press the right one next to it to make little changes, like changing the brightness of the screen (which isn't a bad idea).

To add credits to the game, simply press in the left coin slot button. After getting through a start-up screen (featuring the Replicade and Atari logos), the game starts right up like it would in the arcade, with the attract screen.
