Joystick Video Games



Sure, video games today are great – the graphics and sounds are better than ever before, the controls allow for a great amount of.. well.. control, and some engage the player in ways that we've never seen (Wii Fit comes to mind). But those of us who grew up with the 8 and 16-bit consoles, or made trips to the arcade 10-20 years ago, can't help feeling (at least occasionally) a bit nostalgic and looking to relive those memories and replay our favorite games.

Fortunately, there are several game publishers that have noticed this market and have produced small joystick game systems that simply plug into the TV and usually contain several classic games.

Here are some of the joystick video game systems that I found, along with the games that they include:

Namco Original Arcade TV Games Video Game System
Includes: Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Mappy, Pole-Position and Xevious.

Jakks Atari Classics 10 In 1 TV Games

And also the

Give me a system that has Galaxia, Centipede, Breakout, Space Invaders, Sonic the Hedgehog, Altered Beast, Pac-Man, and Frogger.. and you'll see me when I need food, and that's probably about it. 🙂
