If you’re gaming started with the PS1 then move swiftly on because we are about to hurtle back in time to the gaming Stone Age.
There’s a warm glow in my heart today, having chanced across these keyring-Atari consoles. It’s true. Basic Fun has launched three tiny Atari controllers, preloaded with some classic Atari games which old farts like me will remember from a misspent youth in seaside arcades.

There are two versions of the joystick controller that come with Atari 2600 versions of Asteroids and Milipede and the other with Centipede and Yar’s Revenge. The paddle controller comes with Pong, Breakout and Warlords. Sadly, there’s a ‘pocket-sized’ RCA connector with 6ft of cord too for hooking them up to a TV but c’mon, a great gaming system shrunken to the size of a pack of cigarettes and costing around £18 inc. delivery? Christmas can’t come fast enough.
