I love these so much I bought two of them
This is one of the few great games of the past and it's nice to have the kit for it. HSS gives you the highest quality service plus the highest quality product on the planet. If you're on the fence about this one I say don't worry go ahead and grab it you're going to love it! Saving the high scores is fun and helps you to keep track of your progress of how well you do. Plus it's nice to have the free plate without having to pop in quarters or have the screen stay stagnant
