    Default Nifty Enough Little Toy.

    At the local Kinney Drug, they have, for $19.99 each, three items of interest: those emulators.

    Two of them are joystick-shaped games which each have 5 Namco games on them. One has Pac-Man, Dig-Dug, Galaxian, and BOSCONIAN and RALLY-X! The other has Mappy, Xevious, Ms. Pac-man, Galaga, and one I can't think of at the moment.

    Here's an image:

    The third has 25 Intellivision games, including Thin Ice, Thunder Castle, and Dungeon of Doom. No B-17 Bomber or Space Spartans, though.

    Not bad for a retro collector. The only flaw is the fact that they do not have a normal RF connection.

    Wondering when that place was finally going to get them. The Intellivision one arrived only a couple of weeks ago, and the Namco ones, about 5 or 6 days ago.

    Ah, cut him some slack. Could live in a small area where they don't sell a lot of them. And $20 is the best price I've heard of them being sold at. My local EB still ants $25-30 for them.

    FYI, those aren't emulated games, they're all ports.

    The only emulated all-in-one controller on the market currently is the Atari Paddle system.

    Wal-Mart carries them all for under $20, and occasionally puts them on sale for $15.

    Welcome to Central New York, Herkimer county. Now that Oneida Ltd. has closed down, there go another 500 jobs.

    Really? They actually translated those games onto a different "system," that perfectly, the way Opcode did with Space Invaders (as close as possible on a ColecoVision)?

    What sort of a "system" is that unit?

    Don't know what "system" these are, but they definitely are NOT emulated. Try the Namco onn that has Pacman, and just listen to the effects, then go play the real thing. It's not even close. For people not seriously into gaming or that don't want to screw w/ emulation though, they're not half bad.

    I wonder what they did? Raccoon Lad or Opcode would probably know.
