Namco 5-in-1 Retro Joystick

Retro Games Pac Man, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Rally-X & Bosconian
Reminisce with this plug 'n' play joystick that will bring you back in time to those pizza parlour playing days with games such as Pac Man, Galaxian and Dig Dug.

 

This product is no longer available for purchase.

 
Quick, name a retro arcade game? Now name 5 and you've probably thought of Pac Man, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Rally-X or Bosconian in your list.

With all these games crammed into one ultra-portable retro style joystick, the Namco 5-in-1 is sure to bring you back in time to those days when 20 cents was all you'd need to crank up your favourite arcade game.

Namco 5-in-1 Retro Joystick
Relive the excitement of Pac Man and munch away around the screen making sure you don't get jammed into a corner by funny looking monsters. Blast away the space ships in Galaxian and prove to yourself that you've still got those gaming reflexes of yesteryear.

With direct plug 'n' play connection to your TV or video using the audio visual cables provided, the Namco 5-in-1 Retro Joystick is sure to bring back those hand cramps and thumb blisters. Namco have even managed to replicate that arcade style joystick design with contoured firing button, to satisfy even the most serious retro gamers out there.

Trust us - with the original arcade graphics and sounds, you'll be consumed to the point where you may wanna gather your mates 'round, dial a pizza and see who's still got what it takes!

Namco 5-in-1 Retro Joystick
...and if you're really into your retro arcade gaming, you may also wanna get your hands on the Atari Classics 10-in-1 Joystick featuring Asteroids®, Adventure™, Missile Command®, Centipede®, Gravitar®, Yar’s Revenge®, Breakout®, Pong®, Circus Atari™ and Real Sports Volleyball™.

Product Specification

Each unit weighs approximately 500 grams, connects to most modern PAL TV/video sets (Australian standard) via a 2.5m RCA cable set (included) and requires 4 x AA alkaline batteries (not included).

How to use:1. Use the joystick to scroll around the menu screen.
2. Highlight the game you want and press FIRE to select.
3. Game instructions will appear on screen.
4. Press the FIRE button again to start the game.
5. To return to the main menu, press the RESET button.

Troubleshooting: any picture degradation (including green screen, glitches and other artefacts) is almost certainly due to low batteries. Installing a fresh set of batteries should rectify the problem.

Recommended for ages 5 and upwards.

Please note: Not suitable for children under 3 years old due to long cables.

"This little box of giggles instantly transports you to the days when 20 cents bought a lot of fun. By just whacking in some batteries and plugging AV inputs into your TV, you can be playing Namco classics in seconds. The highlight is Pac-Man, which is just as addictive today as it was when Pac-fever swept the globe two decades ago. Dig-Dug, Rally-X, Galaxian and Bosconian provide shorter, but still sweet, retro thrills. The absence of Galaga will disappoint. The cute side-panel artwork replicates an old arcade cabinet, while the four-way joystick and pleasingly noisy button are solid but not arcade quality. The unit cannot save your high scores, but the most glaring omission is the lack of two-player support."

Rediscovering retro, THE AGE (Jun '04)

Was this review helpful?


"...with this little battery-powered joystick with five games included, Namco has reintroduced the classic 16-colour, 8-bit computer game classics to your TV screen...as a 10 year old, playing Galaxian at take-away pizza joints was more exciting than watching Star Wars, and putt-putting around the mean streets in Rally-X while avoiding collisions with rival cars and farting out exhaust at strategic moments beat playing shopping trolley dodge 'ems outside Supa Valu. Computer game graphics have improved out of sight since the days when coin-ops costed 20c, but as Tetris would prove 10 years later, the simplest games can be the most devastatingly addictive."

"Take a trip back in time to your old arcade...This little console-in-a-box resurrects five Namco 'classics'...All feel exceptionally authentic in terms of the sounds, visuals and gameplay..."

"...arcade classics: Pac-Man, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Rally-X and Bosconian are available to you once more...Forget about all those expensive game consoles that will leave your pockets empty, this joystick simply plugs straight into your TV or video to get you started on hours of fun."
Sunday Magazine, The Sunday Telegraph (Mar '04)

"Trying to convince the boss you're really a hard worker will probably be a bit harder if you have the Namco 5-in-1 Retro Joystick on your desk. Packed with five retro games, including Pac Man and Galaxian, you can plug it into your computer or TV and play away."
BYTES & BITS, The West Australian (Mar '04)

"Graphics and sound are accurate to the originals, which means that this system will probably most appeal to people over the age of 25. Which is a shame because it's a cheap alternative to a full-blown console for roaring youngsters."

"This classic stick plugs into your TV and serves up milk bar faves like Galaxian, Pacman and more."
Men's Style (Mar '04)

Was this review helpful?


"Forget fancy graphics or complicated control schemes - these are simple and relentless games that are excellent for either a five minute blast or hours of finger cramping fun...If you're not equipped with a console, want something that is a definite talking point, or are hunting out a gift for the gamer who has everything, however, then the Atari and Namco TV games are a reasonable buy."

GameSpot AU (Feb '04)

Was this review helpful?


"...these sorts of retro games are full of nostalgia for the teenage generation of the late 1970s-early '80s when arcades were all the rage. But it is just as likely that the simple fun of these early video games will find a following among teens today. The box plugs into the TV but is portable enough to take to a mate's house."

"Radical, speedy transaction and delivery! I'm getting childhood flashbacks...ZAPP! Thanx so much...this kinda service I like - will certainly shop with you again. Oh and thanx for the candy in the box...cheers."
