Atari Arcade Duo-Powered Joystick

Imagine my brother’s joy if I were to get him the Atari Arcade Duo-Powered Joystick for him this Christmas. It will definitely fit his iPad perfectly, which he got from our dad for his recent birthday. And this will surely compliment it perfectly.

My brother is an arcade gaming addict. He spends most of his waking hours at the arcade daily, and that was why our dad got him the iPad so that he would stay at home more often instead. And with me getting him this, he is surely to be staying put in the house all day long. This Atari Arcade Duo-Powered Joystick does provide the arcade-like experience with its joystick and four buttons. With these features, it allows the players to play classic arcade games such as the Centipede and Asteroids.

With the iPad comfortably resting on top and connecting to the joystick easily with the 30-pin connector of the iPad, players are good to start gaming their way. One good feature that the joystick has is that the iPad can be swap out freely from this device and no cabinet is needed especially for it. Hence, flexibility is at play here and added with some vintage feel of the real arcade gaming machine. The simple on/off switch on the side of this device also makes it easier to be operated.

Unfortunately for many of the gamers out there, there is currently no release date or any pricing information available for this awesome Atari device, but I am hoping to land my hands on it in time before Christmas. My brother will sure be jumping for joy when he sees this amazing piece!
