When was the last time you fondled a joystick?

Probably around the same time you had braces and an asymmetrical hairdo. No need to feel ashamed. We all did it.

We are talking about Atari, right?

Start celebrating: The joystick is about to come back into your life. The Atari 10-in-1 TV Game, a new plug-and-play gaming system, features ten classic video games (Pong, Asteroids, Missile Command, Centipede) on the authentic joystick replica. You may not chuck your precious PS2 out the window, but you won’t be able to argue with the simple, satisfying challenge of shooting rocks in space. No console, no memory card, no award-winning graphics, no blood-splattering mobster missions.

Just you, your joystick, and a lot of hand-eye coordination.

Just like adolescence.
