X-Arcade Tankstick Joystick $249.95 $199.95
My very first post on PerezStart.com, was the top 5 arcade style game controllers. It was a very successful article which garnered many hits and comments. I wanted to follow up with a new champion of ASGC’s, the X- Arcade! What an amazing piece of peripheral perfection! Glad they didn’t go away.
It looks like someone ripped off the panel of a Street Fighter II machine and cleaned out the edges.! The professional joysticks, the soft, med and hard buttons for kick and punch, plus two more extra buttons. It even sports the rolling ball controller in the middle for all of sidepocket arcade fans.
What makes this device a step above the rest is the compatibility option.You can buy a bundle with all the adapters or just get the adapter that you need for the system that you have.
“The X-Arcade™ was built with internal electronics to be compatible with the major past, present and FUTURE game systems. Once you own the X-Arcade™controller, you will never need to buy another arcade joystick again!”
If you’ve been in the market for an Xbox 360, there’s no better time than this weekend to ‘Jump In’. Microsoft announced today they will be dropping the price on the Xbox 360 Elite down by $100 making the MSRP to $299. The Xbox 360 Pro will also receive a price drop of $50, which will lower its price to $250. With the price-drop bonanza taking place this weekend, the Xbox 360 Arcade stays unchanged and will continue to retail for $199.
Arcades have been around in various forms since the 1920’s. They evolved from Coney Island amusement parks featuring shooting galleries to ball tossing. Through the 20th century they took on alternate forms with pinball and fortune telling machines taking the lead. In 1972, Atari was formed and created the infamous “pong” coin op game.
I know it seems like many a moon ago, but you may recall that back in February we ran a contest looking for an artist to draw on my Soopa figure. Out of all the artists that submitted samples of their work, one particular artist’s work really caught our attention. Jarold Guzman had a very unique artistic style that we loved. The fact that he is a true gamer at heart pretty much sealed the deal.
Arcades have died a bit in the U.S. in recent years but certainly not in Japan! They are in every nook and cranny of and proof of that is with the Sega Storm-G! This thing is having kids across Japan throwing up their school’s lunch. Storm-G that has been out on consoles for a while , is now hitting the arcade scene and in a big way.This simulator actually delivers some fast paced barrel rolling! Who needs to wait for a carnival when you have this thing!
