During the 2003 holiday season, I raved about Namco TV Games, an integrated joystick-game controller with five classic Namco arcade games: Pac-Man, Rally X, Galaxian, Dig Dug, and Bosconian. The biggest complaint I had about the game, in retrospect, was that it was virtually impossible to buy. If you were lucky, you'd stumble over it at your local Target or Wal-Mart, but usually only if a delivery had been made overnight.

Well, the holiday season is now a memory and inventory levels are firming up for even the hardest-to-get toys and games. Amazon.com finally has Namco TV Games in stock again. If you still don't have one of these, and you want to relive a bit of the 80's, you've got another opportunity. I think I'll play a game or two of Pac-Man during lunch.
