This looks like a neat little toy. It has classic games such as Asteroids, Centipede, Missile Command etc. inside an Atari style joystick. It connects right to your TV. I love classic games. :) Free shipping, no rebates.

Great toy for your kid I guess, show him or her what video games are really supposed to be like! ;)

Great toy for your kid, nah! Great toy for dad, great fathers day gift. :D My son doesn't understand why I like playing the "retro" games so much. They were much more simpler, entertaining, and harmless back then.

Here are some links to play the classic arcade games for free.

lol yeah for real-- this is perfect for fathers day :!: ... im getting one for my dad! he doesnt like messing with complicated controls on newer games today but he still enjoys playing games. if you search around for related products theres also an Activision gamepad with 8 games as well for around $25.00 but this Atari one is cooler... and cheaper 8)
 
All you fathers want it. :P
 
I swear that I saw this at Wal Mart just the other day, but can't find it anywhere on their web site. I believe the price was also $20.00 ($19.99). I'll have to make a trip back up that way today and check it out.
 
Let us know what you find.
 
Ok. Long work day, but I made it out to Wal Mart to check out the game.

I also took some pics so you can see what this thing looks like. Pics are 640x480. Taken with my new Nokia 3650 that I LOOOVE very much. :)

The price at Wal Mart is $18.77 + tax. IMAGE

Nice clean shot of the package here. A blurry close up where you can see the reset button on the left and 2 other buttons that I forgot what they do here. And here is how it plugs into your TV. Shot of the back box art here.

I also did see this other game unit for Activision games. This unit is also $18.77 + tax IMAGE

Here is the front of the box, and here is the back of the box.

I'm almost tempted to pick one of these things up. Looks kinda cool. And I can actually play a few old Atari games at the TV instead of in front of the computer for once.
 
Target definitely has it for $19.99. Not a bad idea, but they need to put more games on it.
 
For only $20 what do you expect? It's good to know that it's available in many stores for the same price.
