I received a Namco 5 in 1 Stick<\/a> for Christmas…from my wife, what a good choice \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

It’s a joystick containing five retro Namco<\/a> arcade classics: Pac-Man, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Rally X and Bosconian. <\/p>\n

It’s rather addictive! I’ve never been a fan of games that take days\/weeks to play (like The Sims for example), so these quick-to-load-easy-to-play games work for me. That said, I did play Elite <\/a>to death<\/del> Elite on the BBC Micro. (Elite in wikipedia<\/a>) <\/p>\n

Of course, I could have downloaded a BBC Micro emulator<\/a> and played most of these games on the PC, in a window:<\/p>\n

Anyway, here’s the Namco unit:<\/p>\n
