    Default Guess what I saw at an Electronics Boutique

    You know how they have those contollers with built in games. Well I saw an Atari 2600 controller with built in 2600 games for sale there for $24.00 or was it $25.00. I think this may be interesting for some of you people.

    That's pretty cool! What state you live in and where's this EB from you?

    I read a review of that over at AtariAge I think it was and it didn't review well. The emulation is supposedly very poor. Be forewarned.

    I doubt "emulation" on such a cheap device.. much cheaper to recreate the 2600 hardware on one chip. It would cost like .50 cents these days.

    It seemed to play fine to me. Some of the sound was a little different that's all I noticed. I've got the Activision one as well and that one does have some noticable glitches in the graphics.

    Have you played Advernture yet? If you've played the original version a lot on the real 2600, you'd notice that 10 in 1 system is quite different. The worse part is the secret sig room is all wrong.

    Defiantly not emulation.
