Arcade-Junkies: The Ultimate Resource For Classic Games and Arcade Legends

Overclockershq Reviews X-Arcade Solo Joystick

The good folks at Overclockershq.com have just published a review of the revamped X-Arcade Solo Arcade Joystick. Here’s the conclusion:

Overall the X Arcade Solo is the next best thing to actually playing in an arcade, actually on second thought, it is better…I have a 55 inch plasma the beats the heck out of the old CRT’s at the arcade. X Gaming.com has got a killer product and if you have any sense you will know that for about $20 more you can have a madcatz version that is only compatible with one system or you can have the solo which is better built cross platform compatible (with optional adapters) and the quality is a lot better.

Would I recommend this product? Yes! If you are an arcade gamer and you don’t have one of these you are seriously missing out.
