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:

You can emulate the Atari 2600 games to the Wii :D

I don't own a Wii but i know it can be done.

I dont like those little JOYSTICK things,too small,cant get a good grip on them....... (I hate these newer small things,crap!)

I bought one ages ago, Mikey and I still play them. He can'y get over the fact that THIS was the state of the art in the 80's.:lol:

I wish I had the money to actually buy some of the old arcade machines!! I'd love to have Tempest upstairs in the gameroom!! That was my all time favorite!! I'd have to make a spot for my 'new' Tempest somewhere else in the house!! :naughty: :shh:

I have this one. How can something so simple be totally addictive?! :gamer: I used to keep it at the shop but then I never got anything done. :lol:
