 Admit it, you love your i-Pod, but sometimes hanker for your old vinyl. Digital cameras are fantastic, but there's something sexy about watching a Polaroid snap develop in your hands. It's that sort of retro, naive pleasure that is to be had from the Atari 13-in-1 Two-Player Paddles.
Remember back in the early eighties - sullen teenagers in tight jeans and cheap sneakers would stand around a pulsing arcade machine, watching rudimentary Martians invade from space, bleeping in monotone as they descended. You were probably one of them but you didn't need eight fingers on each hand and a degree in astrophysics to understand how to play the game. It was simply 'left, right and fire'.
 Thus, viewed through tears of joyous nostalgia, this Atari 2 player paddle set is a god-send. And with 13 of the most pixel-perfect retro games ready to go as soon as you plug them into your TV, the only thing you'll be missing will be those shell topped shoes!
With no need to confuse yourself with PC loading times, or scroll through copious menus customising your underdaks, just pick your game and play. Pong®, Night Driver(tm), Warlords®, Demons to Diamonds®, Breakout®, Super Breakout®, Circus Atari(tm), Street Racer(tm), Steeple Chase(tm), Video Olympics(tm), Canyon Bomber(tm), Casino(tm) and Arcade Warlords® will be a simple button press away!
Okay, so we do actually love the advancement that Xbox's and PlayStation's have made, but for an evening of simple gaming pleasure, this is about as good as it gets. You won't be able to get into those jeans again, but these paddles sure fit like a glove.

Installing a fresh set of batteries should rectify the problem.Please note: This product is not suitable for children under 3 years of age due to long cables.
