Travel
back in time to the late 70's and early 80's with Atari classics.
No console is required, just a retro Atari joystick which
simply plugs into your TV and lets that nostalgia wash over
you...
If
you constantly yearn for the simpler days when home based
console games were in their infancy then we have some great
news for you.
JAKKS Pacific has launching a simple plug-in-and-play gaming
system which features 10 of the most popular videogames from
the old Atari gaming console.
The
authentic, lightweight and compact controller is modelled
on the original Atari 2600 joystick and gives first time and
experienced gamers a true taste of the primitive but exciting
game play that at the time was thought oh so advanced.
The
10 vintage games - Asteroids, Adventure, Missile Command,
Centipede, Gravitar, Yar's Revenge, Breakout, Pong, Circus
Atari and Real Sports Volleyball - are all presented
with retro graphics and sound and come ready loaded into the
joystick controller, making this 21st century Atari the perfect
portable, affordable and easy to use gadget and gaming device.
Here,
at sci-fi-online Towers, we have been mostly playing Centipede.
Let me tell you this has caused a few fights and bruised egos.
Mr Rea, our esteemed editor, has so far managed to rack up
the highest score - of course we let him win as we want to
remain in gainful employment.
The
majority of these games will probably be played once, or twice
and then never touched again. In fact we had an 11 year old
in the office who managed to complete Adventure in
30 mins.
Great
fun when you have a few friends round - shame you can't play
head-to-head though. Probably the present to buy for that
30-something who has everything.
