I was at Walmart and my jaw dropped.

We all know that Namco put out the little joystick you can plug into any tv and play Pac Man, Rally X, etc..

Now there's one that includes (I forget all the games);

(Namco) Ms Pac Man, Galaga, Xevius, more
(Taito) Space Invaders, Qix, Lunar Colony, Phoenix, more
(Atari paddles) 1 or 2 player version, 11 games including Nightrider, Steeplechase, Pong and Warlords
(Tetris) the controllers look like Tetris blocks, 5-7 versions I think
(Activision) can't remember any
(Pinball) 3 tables, new company jumping on the wagon, but the tables look good

I might be forgetting 1 or 2, There was an Atari one as well, it had Venture on it, or was that Activision? Yars Revenge is on one as well.

I picked up the one with Space Invaders, Qix & Phoenix being that Qix & Phoenix were my #1 picks for Galaga Girls polls. Got all the way home and forgot to get the batteries.. ARG! :grrr:

wow!! I think it is great that kids can have the chance to play these games. I won't buy them because I have emulation.

I put MAME onto my 13 year old sisters PC a few months ago, she said to me "what's that" I told her that they were games I played when I was a kid, she said "Oh, sucky games you mean" I told her to give them a try. Now almost every single time I go to my parents house she says to me "wanna play MAME"? :lol:

Saw a plug and play genesis controller at Target. Retails for $29.99 and comes with Golden Axe, Sonic, and three other decent games.

Thanks! :thumb: It's worth the price for Sonic alone, but add in Altered Beast and Golden Axe and it's a real treasure of gaming goodness.
