Darth Vader CD Boom-Box Trembles With The Force

Flashback it’s 1977 and Star Wars is playing at your local Drive-in Theater and the music is playing on an old recorded player. You know an old fashion CD, lol. Are you in 2011 are you still playing Cd’s in a world of MP3s and iPods?  If so, you might like this Jazwares‘ Darth Vader CD Boom-box sitting on your table or shelf. This Darth Vader helmet head has red LED eyes that light up, it will make you feel like Vader is imposing the Dark side of the force on you. Or just dance like you are in the Star Wars Cantina.

This CD player comes with built-in speakers and you can connect your media player. It also has a built-in FM radio.

Gee maybe they can throw in some famous Darth Vader sayings like, “”Don’t Underestimate the Power of the CD”.

No word on when you can buy one, but it’s cool and attractive to any Star Wars collector and will retail for $69.99. May the force be with you.

A real Football shows distance thrown

It’s about time,  NFL-style football that can measure and display how far it has been thrown.So now the next time you throw a great touchdown pass you can show and brag about the distance accurately (rather than saying it went really really far).

Known as the Virtual Distance Football, the distance thrown is calculated by using sensors to detect when the ball is thrown and then the impact of a catch or fumble.

Product Detail:

  • Sensor accurately determines distance ball is thrown
  • Oversize readout shows distance
  • Comfort grip for throwing ease
  • Durable foam construction
  • Advanced electronics register a distance readout upon impact of the throw
  • Digital LCD display
  • Accurate to within 1 yard

Safety warning: This product contains small parts that may present a choking hazard for young children.

The virtual distance football is available from Discovery for $13.97.

The Atari joystick is back

I am an old school video game player, who misses his Atari 2600 system from the 80’s. I loved playing Asteroids or Pacman, but until now I had to use my keyboard/mouse on my PC to play the games. Now the wait is over, the gang at Legacy Entertainment made a classic controller that looks exactly like an Atari joystick, but it’s for Windows 98SE to Vista / Apple Mac OS X / Linux, and connects via Standard USB with no drivers required, just plug-n-play, up to 4 Joysticks to a single computer.

It should work with almost any game Emulator like MAME, Daphne, Stella, Atari ST, Amiga, C64 and others. Dig this, it will work with classic Atari system games like Atari Arcade Hits, Midway Arcade Treasures, Taito Legends, Dragon’s Lair 20th Anniversary and so many more.

So if you want some cool 80’s fun when graphics did not rule the games, but game play did, then get the Atari joystick. Only $14.99, http://www.legacyengineer.com/store.html. Want more classic game systems or games go to atari2600.com, were I found the largest online source for classic video games, systems and accessories.
