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.

    You can tell the reviewer has spent a lot more time playing videogames than learning how to punctuate and spell.

    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!
