Asteroids iPad Arcade Game Cabinet

This is the cabinet that cradles an iPad in an upright position for playing a host of classic Atari video games.

A sturdy, 1/4-scale version of the full-sized cabinets found in arcades throughout the 1980s, it communicates with a secured iPad using Bluetooth, mapping movements of its joystick and taps of its eight buttons to controls featured in over 100 downloadable Atari video games for iPad. The eight-way joystick and spring-loaded buttons provide the same genuine feel and response as the original controls for realistic play. Additional games, such as Asteroids, Battlezone, and Centipede available for purchase from the iTunes Store for as little as one dollar.
