My Arcade’s intriguing Atari Gamestation Pro features 201 games, including 138 Atari arcade and console games, and 63 Piko Interactive games for a variety of platforms. At around $79.99 – $130.00 or so (depending on the retailer), it’s not a bad deal as it includes two wireless joysticks with multiple buttons and a paddle control. Unfortunately, it’s a paddle, not a spinner, so it’s not supported in games that require a free-spinning dial like arcade Tempest. For games like that, you’ll need to use the inferior joystick control. Similarly, many of the Piko Interactive games are NES-, SNES-, and Genesis-era console titles that really scream out for a gamepad, rather than joystick, configuration. Fortunately, it seems some third party controllers are compatible.
There are a few surprises in the game list, including one Activision game, Boxing, and a title with a secondary license, Road Runner, both for the Atari 2600. Overall, it’s a nice mix of titles, but I can guarantee a few games that require other types of controls (including the aforementioned spinner and gamepad) like the trackball-based arcade versions of Missile Command and Centipede, just to name two, will be miserable experiences.
And yes, apparently, you can use the microSD card slot to add your own games. Of course, you can always try some of these games in advance, like with an online emulator, like Webmulator.
