We just dragged out an old joystick-only "emulator" that plugs into the TV and plays Atari 2600 games. I think I won it from a Snapple bottle cap game several years ago.
The kids in my neighborhood are totally nuts for it! Nobody wants to play the boring old Wii, it's "old school Mom games!" My friend & I have been wowing the kids (6 & 4) with our Centipede & Space Invaders skillz. ;)
I haven't seen these in stores for a while, would make a good yard sale or eBay purchase however.

I'm afraid that Mario Kart for the Wii is going to drag the kiddies back to the 21st century, but for now, I'm enjoying my Atari thumb! :thumb:
