Starman Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Does anyone have a list of this games-in-a-stick units, and which have true hardware in them, and of the ones that don't, how well they emulate the originals? It's getting hard to keep up with these. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATARIeric Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 the C64 in a stick is real emulation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 The Ms.Pacman, space invaders, the sega collection ones, and the new flashback 2 are probably the only ones that even closely resemble the original hardware. Although even they are off in little ways, but they are the most accurate that I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feralstorm Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 The Jakks Atari Paddle seems to be above-average as well, at least to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it would be hard to fukkup tetris. 881122[/snapback] it was a 2 player system, the 2 controllers looked like legos "tetris blocks" very bulky $24.98 if i remember correctly Edited June 26, 2005 by ATARIeric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Thag Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 today I seen the tetris in a stick at walmart, damn thing is weird looking And that, right there, is the reason i buy so few. Almost all of them looks clunky and poorly desgned. Imagine if they all looked nice and professional. I'd own 'em all. As it is, they offend my sense of taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 I picked up the Jakks wireless Ms Pacman, and it is nice. My only big gripe with it is that Galaga seems slow and unresponsive compared to the original. That and the fact that you need 8AAs to run the thing. But I just added an AC adapter jack to the base station, so now I only need 4AAs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I read in Retro Gamer that the Space Invaders one was a bad port. Is that true? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+remowilliams Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 I read in Retro Gamer that the Space Invaders one was a bad port. Is that true? Mike 885209[/snapback] Yeah it sucks. Space Invaders is really off from the arcade game, Phoenix is the wrong speed, and QIX is way to slow. It's just not good. On a positive note - check this out if you want to see a really good use for one http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72198 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
