Mini arcade lcd games from Amazon!
« on: May 18, 2007, 11:53:40 am »
Saw these while cruising a clearance section at Amazon. I know some of you will get these.
Missile Command
Centipede
Pacman
Breakout
Asteroids

Judging by the pics, it appears that they have sideart on them.

I have teh Asteroids one.  It's more of a space invaders meets galaga than asteroids though.  Astroblast...  that's the game I was thinking of, basically the same thing as astroblast.

Kind of cool, mine sits on my desk at work, a couple people have picked it up and played it.  It's an in for an acrade conversation here and there which is nice.  =)

I also have the asteroids one. I don't like to play it though the game play is too slow, but its a nice paperweight. I do love the new frogger one though. Its allot of fun to play and looks great too.

WOW! I ordered all of them along with some other stuff to get free shipping. If anything, it'll be worth $1.25 each just for decoration.  ;D

Amazon is pretty screwy with their prices lately. They started out clearanced at around $5. Then for some reason they were all between $1.25 and $1.50 yesterday. I ordered and was charged for all five, but for some reason only three are showing up in my recently ordered list.

Amazon cancelled two of the five due to a pricing error. Apparently they didn't feel the other three were an error. :dunno

OK - those are just screaming to be hacked with one of those mini-screens and something to run them. Report back here when you're done!

 :angry: They ended up cancelling all of mine. I left amazon a nice, nasty message and cancelled the rest of my order. They really need to get their ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- together on their pricing system.

That was an April Fools joke on April 1.   I think someone is looking at making it but as of now click on Buy Now and get April Fools.
