Saw it in a local store, its pretty cool , runs off 3 AA batteries and plugs directly into a TV, works great.

Pretty sweeeeet. One thing though, I always loved playing two player games on me ol'vsc. Lo0oks like its not possible with that???

naw its all self contained in the joystick, no external hookups., which would have been cooler.

its just a joystick with an AV coord coming out of it.

I dunno. This looks to be way cool. Just walk up to an accessible TV, plug in, and start playing. Total time: 15-30 seconds.

I wonder if they fixed Asteroids. In the old Atari version, shooting a medium rock just made it smaller instead of breaking it in two.

oh it is cool

but two player would have been good too

I'm thinking about ordering one. I used to play Asteroids for hours, lol.
