X-Arcade MAME Dual Controller Rated
VL writes "Keyboards and mice are great for gaming, but sometimes you need something old school... especially when playing those MAME classics - here's ViperLair's review of the X-Arcade dual controller." X-Arcade also makes a single-player version, and a sturdy-looking trackball.
cowabunga man! totally tubular..!
You can tell the reviewer has spent a lot more time playing videogames than learning how to punctuate and spell.

You are in error. No-one is screaming. Thank you for your cooperation.
I agree, the news here is that they're selling this thing for $150/US. And there's probably someone buying it.

it's gonna have to emulate: ...
- the "clunk" of a controller that's been bashed slightly beyond its designated left/right/up/down extremes by a million users overdosed on Jolt and Mountain Dew
- the strange sticky feel that comes from having Coke dribbled into the controller drop by drop over several years
- the strange smell that comes from the carpets and walls of old video arcades. Male sweat + flatulence + cigarettes + dope +
- the smeared screen that's been touched by 1000 "helpers" trying to tell the game player what to do next
When it does all this, count me in!
Just look at the PS2 controller in its third generation, look at the N64's, Gamecube and even the SNES pads, they ooze polishness and innovation at the beginning of each console's life-cycle.
I thought Nintendo was a Japanese company, not Polish.
