Blanka:
Did you buy it?

deadpool18:
No, tight budget now!

I have so many of these laying around that I figure I'll mess with those first, and if I get good at soldering I'll buy the new one and use that for a project.

I've got one of these:  that was played one night.

I bought one of these a few years back. a buddy of mine came and visited me for a weekend, and we played Galaga for 9 straight hours! After the intense battle the button broke, and was unfixable. it was worth it though.. besides the fact that my last score was 150,200, and his was 150,800. i was so pissed!  :angry:

I saw one of the new versions at the local Walmart.  It definitely has a more classic overall look to it and the stick seemed to feel a bit more authentic.  But the buttons are on the wrong side if you want to set it on a table while you play.  Is there really any value in "arcade style buttons" when players have to press them with their thumbs?  They should add $2 worth of plastic to these things and make a true mini-table top controller.  As it is, it's probably an improvement to the first units, but outside of any advancements in the actual circuitry (I don't know about that part...didn't buy one), it doesn't seem to be a huge step up.

Oh oh oh, you're right. Sort of. It isn't true 8-way, which is why it's so clunky and bites.

Joystick on Pole Position? OH OH OH OH, on that special mspac thing you mentioned. Ah, sorry.
