The controls are what makes it a good purchase imo. Old arcade games often had unique controls like dials, or track balls that DO NOT translate well to a keyboard mouse or controller.
Playing OG Missile Command with an actual scroll ball is such a fun time. This hand held looks to give a bit of that back with their extra controls, so I am very interested.
Regardless of the game size and quality, HOW it's played is what's been missing from most arcade ports over the last few decades. Seems like they actually put some thought into this design imo! ๐
Yeah, I've had the chance to play mission command and asteroid on an original arcade cabinet, its definitely a different experience and I'm sure for some worth this price.
