Classic Pacman Video Game Kit

Don’t you just yearn for the good old games of yesterday sometimes? I know I do. Don’t get me wrong – I love how there are so many options when it comes to games today. Between the various consoles (well I only stick to the Wii, the PSP, and the PlayStation 3) to the PC, there are hundreds of games to choose from. Still, there are times when I take a trip down memory lane and wish for the days of Atari or the Family Computer.

If you have these moments yourself, you would love this new find of mine – the classic Pacman video game kit. It is being sold over at Fredflare for only $40 – less than some new PS3 games. It is a small black box with – oh joy! – a joystick. I know the PS3 controller has mini “joysticks” but nothing beats the good old stuff, I think. To use, you simply have to plug the box into your TV’s video input and you can play all these classic games:

• Pac-Man
• Galaga
• Pole Position
• New Rally-X
• DigDug
• Pac & Pal
• Super Pac-Man
• Mappy
• Galaxian
• Xevious
• Bosconian
• Pac-Man Plus

While the video game kit may not replace your latest video game console, I am willing to bet that you will have lots of gaming sessions at home with your friends who started playing video games way back when. You might even get newer converts!
