Especially with those simple control games of old though, there are so many options that work equally fine, and I suppose it all comes down to what you most learned on and became comfortable with.


I played most of those games like Gradius first in the arcades, and where I guess my affinity for arcade sticks and those types of games comes from my initial experiences with them, I have friends definitely prefer a d-pad.

Hey Versapak , I have been trying to get one of these

Its a Atari usb for pc. They are just always sold out but they keep making new batches. I want one to use with some emulators. It would be great if you could use one on the 360 or the ps3 for arcade games.

That's cool.

I wish I still had any of my old Atari stuff.

I lost it all in a cross country move waaaaay back.


I bet it wouldn't be all that hard to strip the pcb from a cheap usb pad and stick it into the internals of an atari stick.
