2011 meets 1981 in the iCADE, device that will turn your iPad into a miniaturized version of a classic arcade gaming machine.

The iCADE was first conceived as an April Fool’s joke by the vondrous folks of ThinkGeek. Turned out, the joke was on them. Demand for a real iCADE proved so great that ThinkGeek felt compelled to make it a real iCADE.

After designing the iCADE arcade casing, ThinkGeek partnered with ION to create iPad versions of Atari arcade classics. There are currently 100 games available, including Battlezone, Lunar Lander Tempest, Breakout, Asteroids and Missile Command. There’re sold in 3-pack sets for $1. Or get them all for a mere $15.

The iCADE case itself has a joystick and buttons that are the same size and feel as those that the classic arcade machines had. The case connects to an iPad (either the original or an iPad 2) via Blutooth. You don’t need to put a quarter into the iCADE’s slot. But there’s no need to tell your friends that when they ask to play. $100
