Then you can play thousands of old school, classic games like Donkey Kong, Q-bert, Pac-Man & Space Invaders with a joystick and classic buttons.

Naturally, the app for the iPad is free, but the iCade will run you $150, a small price to pay for the fun and memories you’ll have. Of course, your iPad also recharges while you play and there’s a little speaker in the cabinet for more authentic sounds.
