Millennium Falcon all-in-one joystick game

Posted by Cory Doctorow, December 10, 2007 9:21 PM | permalink

All-in-One Joystick games prove that you can cram an entire, mid-80s console system into something the size of a hockey puck, so it was inevitable that the hockey puck would get gussied up. Exhibit A: a Millennium Falcon all-in-one system that plays Star Wars games.

The Plug & Play Retro Gaming Millennium Falcon Joystick offers a choice of a Lightsaber Dual, Assault on Hoth, Red Reader and Battle of Endor games that see you engaging in Lightsaber battles to flying an X-Wing to controlling a ground force assault and even posing alongside Chewbacca, with each of the games being stored an a hard rive unit built into the Millennium Falcon themed joystick controller – all you have to do is plug it in to a TV using the supplied RCA cable (the Millennium Falcon is devoid of wireless capabilities).

It's $25.00 at Urban Outfitters. I have a hard time believing that the controller has an internal hard drive.

Custom ROM, sure.

I got mine at Target for $10 (they were on sale 2 weeks ago). They're back up to $19 at Target and Walmart now.

Red Leader (the x-wing game) and Battle of Hoth are the best games.

Best plug & play game I've found yet!

/wish I could learn to hack these/add my own games. Can't find anything on the net that's that in-depth.

A couple Xist-mases ago my Daughter gave me the Ms PacMan version that also has Mappy, Xevious, Pole Position and Galaga loaded to it; Target's got them for $16.95 right now.

I haven't found specific instructions on how to circuit bend or hack one of these, but I did find video of a bent Galaga game from one of those Ms. Pacman handhelds:
