MOM KNOWS IT ALL 2018 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE – Bandai Namco Flashback Blast Console

When I first went to college back in the 80s I played more than my fair share of video games. Pac Man was definitely a favorite. I still get a smile and little rush of excitement when I see Pac Man today. the old school action, sounds and graphics are just as fun today as they were back in the day. The company AtGames is making it easier now than ever to enjoy a blast from the past with their new Blast! consoles. There’s no expensive gaming console or games to buy, everything you need to play is right in the box. Just plug the unit into your tv and you’re set.
