10 Atari games in a joystick - coolest invention ever?

[Don Vito Corleone]

I love it (even if I probably would not buy it)! Now you can buy ten Atari 2600 games built into a replica Atari joystick that plugs into your television. If only they had included Combat, and you could plug two controllers together for multiplayer action . . .

Thats sweeeet!!! I still have my 2600, but I cant hook it up to my new tv. I lost the adapter thingie... Fun system.

Cool for the nostalgia factor, but a couple of those games will prolly play like crap without the rotary controller (Circus Atari, Pong, Breakout)

Besides, my folks still have our original Atari, along with all the original games.

BTW: And what...no Raiders of the Lost Ark game? Blasphemy!

The RF adapter. or at least a "compatable" version can be found at you local Toys R US for under 20 beans

I know, but that does not mitigate the coolness of this thing IMO.

i bought something like that.. a full controller like the N64 controller.. it had lots of games.. like 2000 games.. like atari games and i spent only 20 bucks.

Sent it to india for my young cousins.. i would have sent a PS1 but they would end up ruining it .. they are quite young you know.

my cousin has this, it hooks up to your a/v port. It was cool for the first hour or so, but great nostalgia

20? The system is not worth half that.

Makes ya think how far technology has progressed since what used to constitute a console and game cartridge can now fit inside a single controller. Good 'ol Atari

<-- Still has a 2600 and about 40 games, including Combat.
