## The story

The Old School Arcade Stick needed no console, no discs and no instructions. You plugged three colored cables into the back of the TV, popped in four batteries and suddenly the living room was an arcade. The games were blocky and beepy. Dads took over immediately, claiming they had once held the high score at the bowling alley.

## Fun fact

The batteries always died during the final level, which dads insisted was the only reason they lost.
