C64

The 'C64,' is a nifty idea: a joystick that is essentially a Commodore 64 with 30 included games. Very cool on many levels, but perhaps the coolest detail is the story of the designer. Her name is Jeri Ellswsorth, she's a 30-year old high school dropout, and there's an excellent profile of her in the New York Times (registration required):

Thanks Slashdot.
