Two questions...

1). How does the "fire" button feel. It looks really cheap.

2). Does this work with the Galaga 30th anniversary app? If so, this would be worth it...

I'm bummed that more games haven't been written to support the ThinkGeek iCade... That one actually seems reasonably well-built. I doubt the Taito one is compatible, so that means developers will have two competing standards to deal with as well. :rolleyes:

The negatives are what looks like a 2 way stick and only 1 button.

The positive is much better cabinet cart than the ugly iCade.

I wonder if we will see Taito release an Arkanoid one with a spinner.

I always thought it'd be cool to get one and redo the artwork. Heck, the stickers are small enough you could probably get something printed up at a Kinkos or Staples on the cheap.

You are right though, this one is far cooler looking.
 
That Atari 'thing' is a POS. Who plays Missile Command, Centipede or Asteroids with that control setup? No Trak Ball, and a non-Atari button layout. Just another ill conceived product from the morons who own Atari now.
