    Default Seen at Target tonight...



    I also saw the iCade earlier today at Best Buy. Looks like these types of devices will be available easily this Christmas. (XMas, Athiestmas, Humanistmas. I'm not trying to insult anyone here. Stop judging me!!) :-D

    And if I had an iPad and it was a little more universal I would probably get it. heh

    But for now, I'll just stick with my cheapie SF4 fight stick and my PC.

    Shouldn't Centipede be displayed on the trackball version? Not that there IS a trackball version but Atari was the king of trackball games so there should be one. Also, unless that controller comes in around 20 pounds (weight, not currency)* I could imagine the controller would lose connectivity with the iPad during heated games.

    I hear you. This is one of the things that bugs me about bringing older games onto new devices. Some games simply don't translate well to joystick control. Centipede without a trackball? Tempest without a spinner? Say whaaaaaaaaaaaat?

    One of the disappointments I had was not liking Tempest 2000 as much because playing it without a spinner just didn't feel right. I think it made the game harder to play.
