There is nothing better than taking top of the line consumer technology and using it to run programs invented 30 years ago. With iCade for iPad, you can do just that – as it turns your iPad into a tiny version of the arcade machines from the 80’s.
The chunky joystick and eight retro-looking buttons let you take the games in the Atari Classics app to a whole new level. Plus, it’s compatible with hundreds of games already available for the iPad, so you just have to decide which ones you want to take back in time. Retro Angry Birds anyone?
The designs on the cabinet are pure nostalgia. When not it use, it doubles as a stand for your iPad (that just begs you to play Centipede every time you walk in the room).
Forget touchscreen tapping and get button slapping! The iCade for iPad provides the beloved tactile controls of the games from a generation ago and is available now on pre-order from Firebox.com for $129 | £80 | €90. More joy than you can shake a stick at!
