Bring classic arcade gaming to your desktop with the USB whack it.

Powered by USB or batteries, the desktop arcade challenge includes 30 second or 1 minute game play modes and an LED scoreboard next to the start/stop button at the front.

£9.95. Well, it's one way to relieve those office tensions...
