It's really sweet to play these games on a real trackball instead of a joystick or D-pad. It's been a long time since I've played any of these on a genuine arcade machine but I thought the trackball worked great. The trackball? I've tried Centipede, Millipede, Missile Command, and Crystal Castles.
The buttons are decent and certainly playable, but not quite on a par with arcade quality buttons. I really appreciate that the controls are more like the arcade than the console versions of these games. The games are all the arcade version, not any home console. It arrived today, and I've spent about two hours trying out the included games.

The price was $140 US plus shipping to Canada, so it wasn't cheap IMHO. I finally said 'what the hell' and purchased one from an eBay seller in the US. I find the idea of the Couchcade format appealing, but as far as I can tell the Atari version was never sold in Canada (we just get the Namco Pacman version). I hope it's cool with the spinner,trackball and all! I certainly was not ever going to pay $179. Just for the chance to play Crystal Castles,Tempest,Major Havoc and others on my big screen for the first time,feels like it should be worth it. Once I discovered they are supposed to be the arcade versions and not the Atari 2600 versions, I jumped on it. with free shipping off the Forty Boxes website. I just purchased this because I saw it for sale for $99.
