Conclusion:
It's interesting to note, even with the complexity of games like Call of Duty
2, F.E.A.R., and Quake 4, that arcade products like these
still exist and are thoroughly enjoyed. The hardware
required for playing these games can set you back thousands.
While this controller is not meant for these games it's
still a blast to revive and play the oldies. Some of you
younglings don't remember games like Asteroids or
Pong, but I do. I
remember playing Asteroids in particular for hours at the
arcades back in the 80's. And who can forget Pac-Man?! Also,
the game Pong (Beep-Boop-Beep-Boop-Bup) is a game I played
with a silly controller I hooked up to a TV. By the way, the
word PONG is now in most current dictionaries. That's not
surprising considering the game was released in 1972 by
Atari. Playing these older games really took me back in time
with the lure of their original fun factor. They are so so so addicting! If you have not played any
of these classic games you really need to try them with this
controller. These classics can be played with a
keyboard/joystick but it's not the same arcade experience as
this controller provides. Enjoy a blast from the past!
Pros:
- Darn tuff
- Fun factor
- Lifetime no gimmick warranty
Cons:
- Some may find the buttons make excessive noise
- No desk mount
- It makes you feel old! ;)
