This does exactly what it promises. I love being able to use the old-school controller to play the old-school games. It was worth it for Adventure and Tempest alone! Highly recommended accessory for your iPad Atari games!

3. Most cases for the iPad will have to be removed in order to place the iPad on the device.
4. Atari's Greatest Hits only has one free game (Missile Command), otherwise you need to make additional in-app purchases of $0.99...Read more
