Brings back memories. Works great. The paddle one is better, but you won't get asteroids like this one has.

Although the makers took care to make it look authentic, the joystick's poor response time hampers most of the games. Playing Atari was never this frustrating. Indeed, only Yars Revenge is playable. I returned it after a few days.

We bought our first Atari plug in on Christmas Eve at a local toy store. It was so much fun for the adults (thinking of their youth!) and the children. We subsequently ordered another one from Amazon for a grandson's birthday, but we have not received it yet and we cannot find it in stores. Hopefully it was popular and will still be manufactured and sent to us. This game is simple to set up, so no problem for those of us not into games, etc.

I installed it in the bathroom for long sitting sessions. It was fun for about a week, then I got bored, the games are fine, and it is great for the older crowd who miss pong and missle command and atari games. I guess im just too used to playstation games. Some of the games they chose for this would be easier to play if there was the old paddle, it is hard to play pong and stuff like that with the joystick, you have less control.
