i don't recommend any of their games out of the box.
(haven't played star wars or nba jam)

they all need to be modded to be played properly.

casual gamers don't know and don't care about issues, like 4-way and 8-way.

only hardcore gamers want arcade quality sticks, buttons, and trackballs.
that's why i've modded all my machines, except the ms pac-man barcade.

i have no problem playing 4 way games, with sticks like that. not really a problem,
unless the game is coded wrong, and doesn't ignore the inputs.

So which opinion do you hold today? It is hard to keep track.

i am an old timer, so playing wih broken joysticks, or subpar ones was part of the
arcade experience for me.

i had no idea back then that there was a difference in 4/8 way joysticks. (although 2 directional,
and diagonal ones on qbert i knew).

so i got used to making do with whatever there was.

at home, i have a custom 8 way arcade stick, i use for playing arcade games on the xbox.
so even pac games, etc, work.

there's no contradiction for me.

when i buy an arcade 1up, i expect there to be issues, sure i could get use to them,
but if i'm serious about playing a specific game, i mod the controls. otherwise if its
something i don't bother about, its fine as is.

if i was a pro at burgertime (which i'm not), maybe it would bother me.
but i'm casual at that game, so an 8 way is fine for it. same with frogger/time pilot,
i'm terrible at frogger, but great at time pilot, so again, the 8 way stick is fine for that.
