RCmodeler Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Sears sells the Atari/Intellivision bundled together. It seems strange to see Sears selling systems that it has not carried since 1983! So, what kinds of people buy this stuff? I would not think anyone would be interested except us collectors. Also, I wish they'd install more games. 10 games, most of which are lousy, is not a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic George 2K3 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 The games on the Namco TV Games system are okay translations, though not all the sounds in the games match up to the originals. The only other complaints I have is that the color tends to flicker at times and that the joystick could be a little less stiff. It's still worth a purchase if you like to have a few classic arcade games to play without firing up your PC or game console. Personally, I would like to see other games included in future product releases, like the original arcade versions of Nintendo's popular early 1980s games instead of NES translations.

holygrailvideogames.com Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Rob, Circuit City has both of these on sale for $14.99 these weekend while supplies last. The web site had both the Atari and Namco available earlier today, but the Atari has now sold out. The Namco is still available and shipping is free. I wouldn't wait if you are thinking of buying these as they probably will sell out. http://www.circuitcity.com/verity_search.j...G&begin=20&qp=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Mitchell Posted November 29, 2003 Author Share Posted November 29, 2003 Went by Circuit City on the way home last night .. and tried to find one of the three Namco uints that they said were still in stock .. but all gone. SO the CC guy special ordered the Namco one for me for the same sale price! Hopefully it will arrive at the store and I can go pick it up before Christmas.

sigma Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 Here's thinkgeeks atari 10-in-one, but it seems really expensive: http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/toys/5d39/ and here's the activision 10-in-one: http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/toys/5d41/ Thinkgeek is usually at times very expensive, but the coolness of the products usually overcomes how much you have to shell out.

RCmodeler Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 The Atari & Namco controllers are good. They match the design of the originals. But what's the deal with the Activision gamepad?!? Activision games are designed for joysticks... not pads. Also, doesn't Crackpots use a paddle? How do you play with a pad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 ThinkGeek's overcharging out the ass for those Atari 10-in-1 units. Their reccomended retail price should be about $20. I bought mine for $25 in a GameStop right after they came out. I knew $25 was too much, but I really wanted it. I wouldn't pay $40 for one, though. Oh well. I guess if I want another one, I could just pick one up from the Kroger I work at. We've got a pile of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avid Fan Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I would never buy one of these, but those Namco ones look damn cool. They make me wanna rip them apart and use those cool lookin joysticks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Room 34 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I have been tempted numerous times to buy the Namco one... but I have read so many negative reviews of them that I've managed to restrain myself. From what I've read, the one to REALLY stay away from is the Intellivision unit. By far the worst of them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 The Intellivision 25-in-1 is really one of those NES type machines. I want to know if the Namco is the same hardware. Has anyone taken one of them apart to see what makes it tick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 2 units, a 10-in-1 and a 25-in-1. I am not sure if Jakks Pacific is making these.

Adrian M Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Anyone want to comment on the quality of the Namco game? Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Emulation-wise, the Namco games look and feel mostly right. The sound, on the other hand, is lacking particularly with some of the bassier effects (like explosions for example). The Atari all-in-one joystick also had some sound issues, but I found some gameplay element anomalies (like the dragon patterns Adventure) to be somewhat more noticeable.

Rob Mitchell Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 But I have two of the Namco units coming .. hopefully they are satisfying for gameplay! After waiting forever .. I finally remembered to call Circuit City .. and they had the Namco units in stock! I just tried it out .. and it is a sturdy construction and satisfying experience! For $15 .. I like it! Also they have repackaged the Activision unit as a joystick. http://www.jakkstvgames.com Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 My reviews: Namco 5-in-1 Joystick Intellivision 25-in-1 I have one written for the Atari 10-in-1, but haven't posted it yet. Keep your eyes open on the 2600 section for that, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeybastard Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 The Intellivision 25 in 1 sucks. I got for Xmas and a couple of games are fun but all in all it's a very disappointing product. I rarely play mine. At a local video place near me they have something in the window called the Xboy1. It looks like a small Xbox(about half a real Xbox size) comes with 2 controllers and a gun. They weren't open when I saw it so I couldn't check it out or see how much but I'm guessing it's more NES games in a different package. Has anyone else ever seen this thing?

The local games reseller has those. I'm tempted to pick one up to see what exactly it is. Methinks SNES games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
