Best Buy and CircuitCity have a bunch of these for about 10 to 15 bucks (NW of La). If you like retro games, I recommend a JoyStick or Superstick. They have about 100 to 150 games for about 40 to 50 bucks. The games are old 8 bits/Atari games. My nephew loves it.

Just stopped at best buy, couldn't find any, neither could a couple of employees. Then I got home I searched for it on BB website, superstick doesn't turn up any matches, and joystick only seems to turn up normal joysticks. Perhaps BB doesn't carry it, only CC? Could you perhaps provide details (like product and company name) or a link to BB site if they have it? Thanks.

umm CC has them but they go for $24.99.. it will however be $14.99 on black friday.. or was it first 6 hours.. i forget

I admit I had never played bosconian before I had this joystick. Its actaully probably the deepest, most fun game out of the whole lot. Each game lasts a remarkably long time, too(compared to say, pacman or rally x).

Bosconian was one of my favorite games at the end of my arcade-playing days. I've got M.A.M.E. installed, and that is one of the few ROMs that I have. Alive Alive! Battle stations! Condition RED!

Ooh, and Rally-X, too! I think that I may just have to make a trip to Target and get one of these!

I mean CC and BB have the Atari 10 or 15 games in a controller for $10 to $15 each. The JoyStick or Superstick is about $40 to $50 each (with about 100 to 170 games each). Here is the link so u can see what I am talking about.

http://www.gizmo-guru.com/coolstuff/super_joy.htm

I bought the SuperStick (with 168 games) for about $60 at the Texas StateFair a few months ago. I will look up the receipt for the address/contact of the vendor if need be.

Can't remember of the link for the SuperJoy (100 games for about $40). Will look it up later.
 
Oh man, I remember I was green with envy when one of my cousins got an atari system and all those games while I got a lego set 🙁
 
Just wanted to say thanks to ttown and daid for pointing out that the Atari and Namco games were on sale at Target this week. As much as I go there I never look at the toys and don't look at toys in the ad.

I ended up pming Target's price on both at TRU and finally used up the last of my gift card balance 😀

JoyStick


I bought the SuperStick (with 168 games) for about $60 at the Texas StateFair a few months ago. I will look up the receipt for the address/contact of the vendor if need be.

Here is some more info

PowerJoy
SuperJoy

FYI, buyer beware. I don't work for these companies and don't know any of them.
 
I wonder if the Intellivision 25 in 1 is worth buying? Bed, Bath & Beyond has it for $19.99 (which seems to be the going price) but they also have a $5 off $15 coupon on the back of their latest flyer.

Has anyone tried the Intellivision?
 
Jump on Ebay or hit a garage sale and get the real thing. I've still got my brother's 2600, and it still works too! It must be 25 years old now. The only thing wrong is that one of the joysticks is broken and won't move right. My friend and I used to play tank pong on it for hours when we got tired of Nintendo. He stunk so I'd use the busted joystick. Ahhhh the memories.

It is called Xtreme Box. It has 75 Nintendo classics. Looks new, 2 controllers and even has this ratty ass hand Gun for duck hunt. My gf bought it for me about a month ago and isn't giving it to me until Xmas !!! Well I guess it isn't like the system or games are gonna get old 🙂 they are already decades ago.
I can't wait !!! Mario, Contra, Duck Hunt, Kung Fu and TONS MORE !!!
I think it is illegal or something. Only saw about 2 or 3 on ebay and it was sold at this teeny little chinese electronics store.
I AM PSYCHED !!!!
Later all


I have something like an Xtreme Box, except it's called an "XBox". And on this "XBox" I have every Nintendo game ever made, as well as every Atari game, not to mention SNES, Sega, and N64. Hee hee, I love my XBox
😀
 
I wish you could play against each other.

Combat was my favorite game againsta my neighbor. we used to have champion for the day tournaments
