Exciting Update:

Pac-Man is now iCade compatible! The new version adds support for the iCade allowing you to use the iCade arcade cabinet joystick to control this retro gaming classic. The total number of compatible games available for iCade on the iPad now exceeds 200!

quality controls complete the retro feel

Chunky joystick & 8 full-sized buttons

Playing retro arcade games on the world’s most advanced touchscreen tablet is a bit like using a Space Shuttle to pop to the corner shop: daft but immeasurably entertaining. And that’s precisely why we love the iCade for iPad.

This arcade-style cabinet features a reassuringly chunky joystick and eight full-sized buttons that wirelessly integrate with your iPad’s internal jiggery pokery, allowing you to play various retro titles downloadable via the Atari Greatest Hits app. Mum, lend us 10p.

Works with hundreds of iPad games!

As well as a whole heap of Atari classics, new and existing apps can be easily updated to work with iCade. Ooh, Angry Birds with a retro twist. This really is one of the greatest iPad accessories we’ve ever seen. On the rare occasions you’re not twiddling its high quality joystick, the iCade doubles up as stylish stand for your iPad. Put it on your desk and we guarantee you’ll be unable to resist a quick game of Asteroids every time you pass. Game (and life) over!

visitor avatar Very well constructed quality product. Only problem is that most of the games that it is compatible with aren't free and some games that are meant to be compatible with did not work despite messing about with settings, anyone else having this problem?
Andrew Ross, Hartlepool - 16th January 2012
visitor avatar I bought this as a present for my hubby for Christmas who was over the moon with it! It's a really great little gadget! You have to build it yourself but the quality of the materials are excellent and the iCade goes together very well! The free game can be downloaded easily from the app store and all 99 games are only £6. 99! Well worth investing in them all as you get all of the old classics then! Great little toy for those who like it retro!!! :).

visitor avatar Is the icade only compatable with ipad or can you use your ipod as well?
Dawn, Lanark - 27th November 2011
Firebox says: Hi Dawn, This is only compatible with the iPad
visitor avatar Utterly brilliant. I'd play it more but I can't get my 14yr old daughter off it. Lots more games adding iCade support already. Mos Speedrun, Velocispider and Sideways Racing are just three of them.
Darren Griffin, Hampshire - 1st August 2011
visitor avatar Can you put a NotPad in this? btw this is so cool!
Haylie, United Kingdom - 22nd July 2011
Firebox says: You could Haylie, but it wouldn't do much!
visitor avatar Its a bit poor than an iPad does not have iPad compatible videos that are flash, come on Firebox move with the times, may have purchased one if I could watch the videos, now I just going to BigX out!
IPadBoy, IPad World! - 21st July 2011
Firebox says: We're in the process of getting this upgraded, in the meantime you can always check our YouTube channel.
visitor avatar iCade arrived today and straight away built up, love it and the best thing ever is that the official iPad 1 case that I have I don't have to take off. Firebox I love you!
Richard, Mansfield - 21st July 2011
Firebox says: Great to hear Richard!
visitor avatar Does it connect to a PC as well? Can it be used under Windows as a Bluetooth-Joystick?
Wolfgang, Germany - 9th July 2011
Firebox says: Unfortunately not Wolfgang, it would sort of defeat the purpose.
visitor avatar Hi loving this but wondering can the ipad be turned on from the buttons on the cabinet? or do you have to keep taking out the ipad to turn it on and off? thanx :).
Gray, UK - 26th June 2011
Firebox says: Whilst you can use your iPad regularly with it in the cabinet, to turn it on and off you would need to take it out of the cabinet.
visitor avatar I donated 20 of these to an African village... Hang on I'm not sure if they will all have an iPad.
