Atari on the iPad: Controller of the 80-game fun

Apple iPad controller 80s Pacman
The heart of retro fans will strike when looking at the photos later. It reminds me, of course, immediately to the controller of the beloved and far too often used Nintendo Entertainment System. Fittingly, the device transmits even the aptly named "8-bitty".
Technically, of course, put a lot more than just eight bit behind the game pad, which can be seen at second glance, but some differences from the NES controller - apart from the bright colors. On the right side there are four instead of two well-known A / B buttons. At the top there are also two other buttons, which held only with the SNES, Nintendo river. In addition, the 8-bitty wireless and so far away from the 80's.
Wireless can be the controller and connect with iPad and iPhone even with Android smartphones. It supports games that Icade compatible. A list of apps available at ThinkGeek, provider of the 8-bitty. For the iPad, there are about the app "Atari's Greatest Hits", containing over 100 classic games to the age bracket.
Currently, the controller is no longer in stock. For the relatively low price of $ 25 is the temptation to dive back into the game world of pixel graphics and sound boxes, just too big.
