Here is a fave of mine this week... the iCADE. It started as an April Fool's joke on ThinkGeek but now is a full fledged product and an awesome decor piece.
It took about 25 minutes to set up (comes with a few screws, allen wrench, nothing crazy). It feels pretty durable and love the $0.25 coin slot that lights up.
You pair the device to your iPad via Bluetooth entering a code with the joystick and buttons. You can download 100 Atari Classics for $15 or they come in four packs for $0.99 in the App store.
I've been playing Pong and Centipede for a half hour and now... I think it's time to get back to real work.
AWESOME! I *MUST* HAVE ONE!! Sending subtle hint e-mails to family/friends as soon as I'm done posting this comment, as my birthday's coming up in just a few weeks!!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteWho says Centipede isn't real work?
ReplyDeleteI know *I* managed to work up a sweat trying to save my cities in "Missile Command" [too]many years ago, so I think that should qualify as work, too! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI always like to try to justify any sort of gaming as work. Even at about 3am on Bejeweled I allow myself the next level because its for "work".
ReplyDeleteTim, this is right up your alley if just for decoration!
