    Nobody tell Atari, but I’d pay $20 just for Kaboom! on a paddle controller. Where the HELL is it?

      You can always move up to the Atari Flashback 9 or Flashback 9 Gold, which both offer paddle support (but only with a new type of AtGames paddle).

      I was thinking the same thing. As soon as I saw this paddle Atari first thing I said to myself was Kaboom with a working paddle. FINALLY!!!!! And lo and behold. Nothing. Lame Atari.
