classic games

There are some games that, dated though they may be, are still a heck of a lot of fun to play. The perfect example is the 1983 Star Wars game by Atari which a lot of old school gamers still hold dear in their hearts. Check out this fully armed and operational version of the arcade game created by Le Chuck, all in 1/16 scale. It doesn’t just look amazing (right down to the images on the sides of the case), but it actually plays complete with sounds and lights.

Playing something like Operation! on a pen is a good time waster, but it isn’t quite a party game. These pens here are much better for groups. You can have 4 play Trouble and any number can play Yahtzee or Boggle.

The pen on these really seems to be the afterthought, I would feel just as well served if they just had these mini versions of the game. The die popper on Trouble is the coolest part of the whole bunch.
