Hi All, First let me say this is a great forum you have here. I've been reading for a few weeks and have learned a lot! I believe I am almost ready to start my own home arcade machine. My first box will be of the cocktail variety (If I make a Furniture quality cocktail machine maybe my wife will let me keep it in the house ;D). Have: -Computer -Monitor (19 inch) -Software (all) -Wood (oak plywood and oak stock for trim cp etc) Have ordered: -I-pac2 Need: -Custom smoked glass (sounds expensive) -Pushbuttons (see below) -Joysticks (see below) Questions: -Joysticks. Space is at a premium. Is the omni-stik prodigy as good as it seems for a 4 way/8 way combo? I like the look of the retro edition. http://tinyurl.com/6dxxy Before I spend $44.95 US each on 4 sticks I would love to hear someone say "yes those rock". -Pushbuttons. Happ buttons seem to be the most popular. Are the buttons at www.groovygamegear.com the same? If I choose to order the omni-sticks is seems a shame to pay shipping again from somewhere else. |

I love my prodigy and my buttons from groovy game gear. I don't have the retro edition but I wish I did. I think you can't go wrong with it. Check out http://retroblast.com/hardware.html for the joystick reviews. here is a page with the stuff for the glass. http://www.gamecabinetsinc.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=MP My guess is that it would be cheaper to visit a local place, but seeing all this might help. |
