Atari 10-In-1 TV Games

Pros: Sheer nostalgia value, some timeless games included
Cons: Some sub-par games included, some included games were designed for paddles, not joysticks

It’s easy to wax poetic about the days of the Atari 2600. For old-school gamers like myself, thos ...

Pros: Reasonably priced for the amount of games and nostalgic entertainment you get.
Cons: Not truly like the original, some noticeable differences.

Why I bought this item: During the holiday rush, I made a stop at our local Target and noticed these Atari Game Systems, and immediately thought of my cousin who had mentioned he'd wanted to find old-school games to play just for fun. I was ...

Pros: great nostalgic fun, authentic joystick (wrist cramp anyone?), some great games: asteroids & missile command
Cons: some stupid games, requires batteries (can't use rechargeables or adapter), can't add games

We ran across this at Walmart and were instantly pulled into a nostalgic whirlpool of "hey do you re ...

Pros: Major nostalgia trip on tap. Breakout, Missile Command and other classics make it worthwhile.
Cons: Half the games are duds and the design is flawed.

This should be a lock-in home run for anyone who had an old Atari 2600 system. Unfortunately, the unit stumbles on two key things: The game selection is pitiful and the unit design is stupid. But let's start by focusing on the positive. This is a ...

Pros: Pure Nostalgic Value
Cons: Games become 'old' very quickly.

As a recently unemployed mechanical engineer, I guess one of my friends figured I'd have an abundance of free time this Christmas season, so he and his wife got me an Atari 10-in-1 joystick as a gag gift. I'll have to say I was the envy at the Christmas ...

Pros: Simple to use. Just like the original.
Cons: Uses batteries only.

Atari(R) 10-In-1 TV Games features 10 classic games from Atari, one of the original creators of video games! It has a lightweight, compact, all-inclusive controller, which allows gamers to play video games anywhere there is a TV with ATV input jacks...

Pros: fun retro style and Atari memories without having to use the old one
Cons: game selection is mediocre and takes poor advantage of technology

Ah, a noble effort, but it ultimately fails. Considering these games only take up 2-6K of memory, they could have put 100s of Atari Games on here with today's technology. A computer emulator like STELLA lets you play them all on your desktop for free,...

Pros: Blast from the past, great fun, portable, good gift for kids
Cons: Battery, very simple, won't use it a lot

I grew up on Atari and I had to have this. I picked one up at Radio Shack and several days later gave it away as a gift. It was fun while I used it but the games are very simple. Very simple. My cell phone has more complicated games. The worst ...

Pros: Portable, nostalgic, hours of fun, awesome replay value, easy to set-up.
Cons: Some games, (Volleyball, Yar's Revenge) shouldn't be on the system.

The Atari 10-in-1 system is a cheap alternative to scouring pawn shops and garage sales for a classic Atari system. The system looks identical to the original Atari controller, except for a few extra buttons, and has some of Atari's most popular games. A few of the games they could have replaced for better ones, but all are fun and take you back in time to a more wholesome period in video gaming.

All 10 games are as follows:
Centipede
Circus Atari
Breakout
Gravitar
Pong
Beach Volleyball
Yar's Revenge
Asteroids
Missile Command
Adventure

Pros: inexpensive, all-in-one
Cons: there are only 10 games!! Where's pac-man or vanguard.

This is great for traveling and takes you back to the 80's. There are 10 games all contained in the joystick. Just plug it in and you've got pitfall, river raid, freeway, grand prix, missle command, asteroids... Takes me back to my childhood.
