I got mine about a year or so ago and I'm the only one that plays it. I'll admit that I bought it based on fuzzy memories and know it doesn't get a lot of love here.
While looking for a small project to do on a game, I pulled the stick apart, cleaned it all out and gave it a couple drops of air tool oil... Making the stick feel good has literally transformed the game. It was occasionally sticking in the up/down direction making force fields and walls a real pain in the ass. I nearly doubled my previous high score (not great) while testing it, and have actually found myself looking forward to playing it rather than just having it on for ambiance.
Might even double its value by adding a $45 high score save kit.
