You can usually get a *JUNK* one for pretty cheap on ebay/YAJ and it's super easy to fix up. <br /><br />http://imgur.com/xFfjKKX<br /><br />http://imgur.com/9S8QgYe<br /><br />[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/CPT5IaR.jpg[/IMG]doceggfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060105388073777759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-42712392596121185172014-07-11T06:21:37.249+00:002014-07-11T06:21:37.249+00:00Haha!

This was before cell phones had proper internet, but between problems I decided to browse eBay. There was an auction for a like-new official arcade stick ending before my class period was up. At the time I probably should have focused more on my exam, but I instead I watched the auction. At the last moment I bid and won! $33 including shipping! I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I failed my exam. Totally worth it.DCGXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419956116822643633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-54611479411520474472014-07-10T18:46:06.733+00:002014-07-10T18:46:06.733+00:00(Btw I'm not the author of dcgaga, despite the...(Btw I'm not the author of dcgaga, despite the site name, that credit goes to Chojin)Animated AFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04550837973910959680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19634944.post-82595468253703806022014-07-10T18:44:34.818+00:002014-07-10T18:44:34.818+00:00I managed to get two of the official arcade sticks...I managed to get two of the official arcade sticks, one around the time the Dreamcast was on store shelf's and another a few years later.

In fighters especially I always struggled to execute the more complex moves and combos until I picked one up. Now I still get whupped, but at least I do it in style.

Definitely is the way to go if you are into DC shooters/fighters. By the way, I recently started using it on my PC via an adapter called Retro Linker Plus II and I fully recommend it. Works like a charm with no lag. It has basically rendered superfluous many other PC/PS3 stick.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792010592799498460noreply@blogger.com
