This review is from: Atari 2-Player Paddle Controller with 13 Games (Video Game)

Smooth control, great "paddle" feel, and ten classic games...there's not much more to be said. Don't be fooled by some of the more negative reviews for this product...the two player model is a great emulation of the original Atari VCS games...the paddle moves fluidly and smoothly, the games and sound are mostly spot on, and who doesn't want to play breakout or pong again....

It's just too bad they couldn't have swung a deal and gotten Kaboom on here...

All in all a fantastic purchase and one I would recommend to anyone looking for a little retro gaming goodness with an authentic paddle feel...

I don't know what the problem is with the guy below who gave this thing one star (defective unit?), as mine plays great! The paddles are smooth as silk, the games are as smooth as the real thing, and the arcade Warlords is perfect! Some of the sounds in the games are very, very slightly off, but who cares? If you are debating buying this thing, DO IT NOW!

BTW, I've had an Atari 2600 since 1979, if you're wondering where I'm coming from here...

All in all, a faithful reproduction of the originals. I myself am glad I waited for the two-controller unit. It includes an on-sreen interface to change game settings that also has a 'grid' of all game variations - a real big plus!
