RE: FYA: Asteroids in a Joystick

I've got one (was a stocking stuffer for me this past xmas). No
complaints.
The games on it seem to be very true to the originals - I'd be shocked
to find out
it's doing anything other than emulating the original roms. Adventure
for example
has all of the quirks present in the original game.

...And the vector to raster circuitry for Asteriods leaves lots to be
desired :).

I have to note that reviews are good and bad for this. (BTW you can get
it
at Target too)

They aren't really the original atari games, they are modified,
especially
to make them one player. I've heqard reports of it not being that
responsive.

Um, figure you have to connect this thing to a 6100 to play Asteroids???
