Few things will grab a middle-aged man's attention like an iPad full of old Atari games and a ball-end joystick. There is something about that specific mix of electronic nostalgia, the promise of adventure, and the experience of sweet limbic release that allows him to relax into the experience at hand, his face slack, his hand jazzing the stick like a rat trained to respond to reward behavior.That's why the iCADE from ThinkPad is so great: it makes you think you're a kid again, slamming quarters into Crystal Castles while waiting for you dad to pick you up from the roller rink. It's a visceral feeling to see old games finely reproduced inside a little arcade cabinet whose brightly colored decoration reminds you of a simpler, happier time.
