another must-hava gizmo
by Frank Spychalski filed under Fun

They sell a C64 inside a joystick at gadgets.co.uk

C64

Among the list of games are some gems:

  • Impossible Mission
  • Impossible Mission II
  • Pitstop
  • Pitstop II
  • Summer Games
  • Uridium
  • Winter Games

and my all time C64 favorite:

Paradroid

All this is built into a replica of the Competition Pro 5000 Joystick � which plugs directly into a TV for instant fun at home or away!

No computer or additional software is required, simply add batteries, plus into the TV and you�re up and running.

For the techies, here are the details of the hardware:

* Custom 0.35 micron ASIC chip running at 1 Mhz
* 128K RAM, 2MB or ROM
* 256 colours available on screen
