While retro games are popular (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/24/midway-arcade-brings-joust-defender-spy-hunter-to-ios-without/) on iPhones right now, an intense session can go haywire if your digits slip around on the tactile glass, and head-to-head play is literally that if you're sharing a small device with a foe. That aforementioned situation inspired the GameDock, which turns into a full-blown console when you plug in and pair your iPhone, iPad or iPod using Bluetooth, then connect your TV, along with a couple of USB game controllers. Just like that, you and a buddy are playing big-screen Asteroids, Centipede and 100 or so other iOS games that work with iCade (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/24/icade-core-coming-to-a-tiny-arcade-near-you-in-june/). With 43 days remaining, just shy of 10 grand has been upped toward the $50K goal, so check the source if you want to revel in the gaming days of yore -- eye or thumb strain-free.
