OK, so it's not exactly legal ... but wow. This puts those Atari X-games-in-1 controllers to shame.

Comments: 76,000 games in 1

Sure, it has 76,000 games, but do we just have to assume that encompasses every game ever made or do they have a game list somewhere?

It's illegal ... and you're asking for documentation? In English? ;)

It is an interesting question though ... how the hell do you find your way through 76,000 games?

I saw these things on sale in the Mall of America over the weekend, so while they may be of dubious legality but they're not that hard to find. Scrolling through the game list is a bit of a joke - you can page up and page down 20 games at a time, but other than that you just have to hold down the button. Getting to game 30,000 (you can scroll both ways) would probably take several hours. At any rate, the games seem to start repeating after 4 or 5 screens so the 76,000 thing is probably a con. It's still great fun though.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
