Atari 2600 in a joystick

topic posted Thu, January 22, 2004 - 11:51 PM by  sd
A while back I saw this product that was like 8 oldskool Atari 2600 games all built into an an oldskool Atari 2600 red button joystick. You put batteries in it and it had composite video and analog audio cables to plug directly into your TV.
I think it was being sold, strangely enough, by Avon, as in the makeup people.
Another strange thing about it was that at least a couple of the games were originally PADDLE games that they modified to play with the joystick instead (I think Circus Atari was one).
Anyone have one of these and can give me their impression of it? Worth the 30 bucks or whatever they wanted for it? When I was looking at it it was always sold out.
