The X-Arcade Two Player Arcade Joystick gives you the retro feeling of an arcade upright with real arcade joksticks and buttons. You can hook the X-Arcade to a Mac or PC or just about any video game console like the PS1 or PS2, XBox, Gamecube or Dreamcast.

I use mine on a dedicated MAME machine and the controls really do give you the feeling of an arcade.

No longer just an ant farm, the Space Age Ant Habitat is almost completely self sustaining (you only need to open it up for a little air every month). Instead, the ants live in a clear gel that provides them with food and water. They can also tunnel through this gel, as they are wont to do! This time sink, uhh, I mean way to observe a piece of nature in your home, comes with an LED illuminator, magnifying glass, zoom lens, secure lid, and ant catching/tunnel starter tool. You’ll have to get your own ants though; get the kids to catch some in the yard, or leave some candy out on the kitchen counter for a week or so. But don’t overfill – the habitat can support up to 25 ants at a time.

A couple features of the device include a counter to show how many times the device has been activated and a timed control allowing you to have the device triggered between certain times only.

Yet another robot, you say? Yep, but that’s b/c they’re cool! 😉 The Robopet is just like a real puppy – he walks, jumps, sits, lies down, begs, rolls over, sniffs, crawls, runs, shakes hands and scratches. He even has a personality that ranges from friendly and curious to upset and cantankerous. The Robopet is chock full of sensors that help him motor around autonomously, and to react via his ‘senses’ (see, hear, feel) to the environment. There is also a wireless controller that lets you teach the Robopet behaviors with positive or negative reinforcement. And of course, you want your dog to play fetch, so the Robopet has the ability to chase after a laser light.
