    Best $20 I've spent in a long time.

    http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/prod...tari-10in1.jpg

    Purchased one of these babies last night in Wally World. It rocks, lunch has never been so fun, now to figure out how to get two players. Freakin thing is harder than I remember or maybe I'm getting slower...

    Games included,

    Pong
    Adventure
    Asteroids
    Yar's Revenge
    Centipede
    Gravitar
    Breakout
    Missile Command
    Real Sports Volleyball
    Circus Atari
    Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.

    That thing is mysteriously missing Pitfall. If they would have had that it would have been purchased.

    There is another one that has Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaxian, and two other games that are crap. I agree though that the games are a lot harder than they used to be. I don't ever remember having so much trouble getting to the third level of Pac Man.

    I was getting whopped on breakout, I rule that game on my cell phone, maybe the screen size helps.

    They need one with Space invaders, Donkey Kong, and Frogger.

    Careful with the pot-shots



    All right, I'm coming out. Any man I see out there I'm gonna kill him. Any son of a bitch takes a shot at me, I'm not only going to kill him, I'm going to kill his wife and all his friends and burn his damn house down.
    Nobody better shoot.

    Oldschool Atari! Kickass! I might have to get one of them soon, since I'm too poor for a PS2.

    I used to love that game. Did you ever figure out the "secret" ending to the game that involved the hidden white ball?

    No, if I did it's been too long, please clue me in.

    Well then it wouldn't be a secret, would it? I was probably nine at the time. I don't remember how to do it.
