Legacy Entertainment’s Atari-style joystick isn’t as old as it looks

There are plenty of reasons to return to the classics: maybe they’re better than the currents, maybe it’s an ironic move (like listening to Kajagoogoo and wearing giant eyeglasses), or maybe you’re just aged and yearning for old-timey days. Regardless, Legacy Entertainment’s classic controller looks exactly like an Atari joystick, but it’s Windows / OS X / Linux compatible, and connects via USB. The company assures us that it runs with “nearly any emulator,” so you and your friends should be 80′s-style partying in no time, if that’s what you’re into. $14.99 and it’s yours — if you have any moola left after you buy that tubular car-phone-looking Bluetooth handsfree.
