If you hanker for video gaming’s classic days, of Asteroids and Centipede, of Gravitar and Missle Command, then this joystick from Jakks Pacific may be just the thing to take you back. Not only is the joystick familiar to all those who owned an Atari system back in the 80’s, but inside the stick itself are 10 classic Atari games, including the above mentioned plus Adventure, Yar’s Revenge, Breakout, Pong, Circus Atari, and Real Sports Volleyball. Just plug the joystick right into your TV, pop on a Culture Club album and go crazy. $25 from GameStop, available in January.
