Product Description
With the Atari 10-in-1 TV Games System you have a completely self-contained gaming system. Take 10 classic video games with you wherever you go — all you have to do is hook it up to your TV. The system is even designed to look like a real Atari 2600 joystick!Editorial Review
Today’s video games with all their bells and whistles had to begin somewhere, and that somewhere was your living room, in, say, 1982. Remember Asteroids, Missile Command, and Breakout? How about Centipede, Adventure and Gravitar? This TV Games Video System–just a “smart” joystick and nothing else–delivers 10 classic games in all. The joystick has the typical up-down-left-right movements, and single functions to select, start, and reset games. Front-and-center is a big, red fire button (“fire” being the only way to propel or kill things back then). The unit hooks up to your TV via those yellow and white AV output jacks (which should already be on your TV or VCR), and requires 4 “AA” batteries. –Diane Beall

• VEGGIE TALES – LARRYBOY! & THE FIB (DVD MOVIE)

Description
“The name’s Fibrilious Minimus! But you can call me Fib!” A little fib turns into a big problem for Junior Asparagus! With dad’s favorite bowling plate in pieces, Junior is sure to be punished … until a strange visitor advises him to cover his tracks with a little white lie. Dad buys the story, but Junior notices his new friend seems a little bigger now and a lot less cute! Lies have a way of growing — and it isn’t long before Junior’s “little fib” has grown into a 30-foot-tall monster, threatening to devour all of Bumblyburg! There’s only one person to call in a crisis like this … Bumblyburg’s own superhero, Larry-Boy! But can anyone stop the Fib from Outer Space?!? Kids will have fun as they learn that “a lie can trap you, but the truth will set you free!”Amazon.com
If you want some morality tossed lightly with education in the videos your children watch, then this is a series for you. These Christian vegetables with a hip sensibility (sample dialogue: “You are so early-’90s.”) play out a Batman-meets-Back to the Future scenario when a young asparagus tells his dad a lie to get out of trouble. That lie, embodied by a space alien, grows until it threatens the entire vegetable village, provoking Larry the Cucumber to heed the signal in the sky and hop into his flying Larrymobile designed by the eccentric and fallible inventor Alfred Asparagus. Action, music, and a Jerry-Springer-style deconstruction at the end with a blink-and-you-missed-it reference to God make for a half hour of involving and wholesome entertainment. –Kimberly Heinrichs
