Atari candlestick makes us pine for the pre-Pong world
We've always considered ourselves lucky for having grown up in the modern world -- video games just wouldn't be the same without electricity -- but every once in a while, we find ourselves inexplicably drawn to the simplicity and elegance of the pre-Pong world. Lucky for us then, that the designers at Mixko have seen fit to make these Atari 2600-themed candlesticks which effortlessly blend -- mix even -- our irrational and conflicting sentiments. Now, two of these and a Wii and we're in business.

It'd probably be a good idea to not hold this like a regular joystick.

Atari 2600 was post-pong. Wow...

Why not microfoot? The thumb button on top puts it out.
