The Polymega console platform<\/a> has yet another module coming, this time to play Atari 2600 VCS and Atari 7800 Pro System cartridges. In addition to the EM06 – Pro Module<\/a>, there’s a matching controller, Pro 6 – Pro Joystick<\/a>, with a digital joystick, paddle, and mini trackball that’s also compatible with PCs and other devices. The controller concept seems similar to what you get with the My Arcade Atari Gamestation Pro<\/a> or some Atari VCS units<\/a> (also available separately), so definitely seems promising.<\/p>\n\n\n
