Arcade Comes to life with iCADE Gaming for iPads

03 Jul 2011 by admin in TOYS

ThinkGeek just launched the iCADE gaming cabinet. Users can play classic Atari games available now for download from the Apple App Store.  This sturdy, retro-styled cabinet is designed specifically to house an Apple iPad or iPad 2 and transport you to the days when you spent endless hours playing classic arcade games!

The iCADE is a desktop-sized arcade game cabinet that features a fully-functional gamepad, complete with retro arcade joystick and buttons. Gameplay is made simple by just sliding an iPad into the built-in cradle and connecting it to the iCADE via Bluetooth. The iCade is powered by two AA batteries.

 In preparation for this release, Atari released 100 of its Classic games for use with the iCADE.  Atari was able to configure the games for compatibility with the iCADE, including beloved games like Pong, Asteroids, Centipede and many more.

“We partnered with ION Audio to make our vision of the iCADE a reality,” says Ty Liotta, head of ThinkGeek’s GeekLabs. “After it was announced as an April Fool’s Day joke back in 2010, thousands of our customers wanted it and we’re excited to make it a reality through this partnership.”

The iCADE is available now in limited quantities for $99.99 at ThinkGeek.com
