Do you play games on Arcade Stick?

I' m a huge fan of fighting games and I think that nothing compares to playing them on Arcade Stick (especially 2D games)

I had the original Sega Arcade Stick for DC (for IKARUGA,SC,DOA,SFA,Mark of the WOLVES) and I think that games like :

Metal Slug , Shmups , 2D , 3D Fighing , many oldschool titles are so much better on arcade stick.

I recently got the universal (XBOX/GCN/PS2) Soul Calibur2 AS and it' s cool but not the best out there , here' s my dream :



The problem is it costs 230$ with shipping to POLAND :(

It looks nice.

I dont play figthing games that much, i love DOA 4, but not enough to use 230$ on a stick.

I think the coolest custom board was the one for Steel Batallion

[:' (]I wouldn' t spend that much.

Bring on a VF5 branded arcade stick baby.

I don' t play with arcade sticks because you can' t lean back comfortably in a couch with one of those. Also, I' m always afraid of breaking the stick as I tend to push the stick a little to hard sometimes.

It' s 80$ not 230$ - 230 is for me since I have to pay a lot for shipping to Poland.

Ginjirou - there are arcade sticks that feel durable enough so that you know you can just do whatever you want (DC stick wasn' t one of them)

I play completely relaxed on my couch and I do lean back - I don' t know where did you get that idea :)

Are you shipping it from the moon? how on earth can shipping cost 150$?

I just calculated it would cost me 140$ to get it to denmark, shipment costs are crazy, but then again it weighs almost 20£ or 8kgs!

As you see it can

I wonder what Arcade sticks do they have on moon :)

The best solution is to live in a good country where things like that are in shops.

How is the gaming situation in Denmark ?
Do you have some cool toys , and items related to games in shops or is it like " games and systems plus some accesories" ?
