Marvellous for Keeping Your Mind Alive,

This review is from: ION iCade Arcade Gaming Cabinet for iPad (Accessory)
As a senior citizen who harps (on and on) about the advent of games on screen, my family capitulated and bought me the iCade plus bonus of an i-Pad. I must say it is a marvel. Here I am playing space invaders and pacman as if the 70's never left. The joy stick is sensitive (bad with a tremor) and responsive. The button controls are learnable but would benefit from an octopus's help. Hours of enjoyment. The iPad requires some concentration. Advice is not to read instructions but swoop on children and grandchildren (preferably on bribes) to narrate the methodology of the machines. I am chasing my tail here but hopefully will overcome my technophobic approach. Where have all the pinball machines gone?

Works on other tablets too.,

This review is from: ION iCade Arcade Gaming Cabinet for iPad (Accessory)
This device is compatible with the samsung tablet 10.1. You can just about get the tablet in verticle but the lid doesnt quite shut but its not a problem. Why buy a samsung when this was made for ipad you ask? Well the secret to unlocking this little baby is a program called MAME which runs every single arcade game known to man from pong to street fighter 2. With mame installed this works perfectly with over 2000 games at your finger tips. Android tablets arent locked like apples stuf so they run all emulators too. The build is solid for this little cab and the buttons and joystick are solid and made to last. Once your tablet is in and youve got mame running its just like being back at the arcades. Outrun, street fighter 2, Space harrier all work perfectly on my samsung 10.1. The price tag is high but i managed to pick this up for £40 online. The coin slot isnt real but it does light up as part of the bluetooth sensor indicator. I've been a fan of mame for years and wondered if having a cabinet would restore the feeling of an old arcade? Thankfully it does. 80's action at its finest! :)

Fantastic Item,
This review is from: ION iCade Arcade Gaming Cabinet for iPad (Accessory)
This invention is amazing and brings back great memories of when I was a boy. I used to love going into the arcades and playing a lot of the games that are available on my ipad and this icade. The best thing about it is that I can take it anywhere and don't have to worry about any wires but an ac adaptor is available if you want to use it but I have been using batteries and you can get a long time out of them. This is one of my best buy's ever and would recommend it to all who is looking for the old fashioned games which were the best.
