Austin Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Atari and Ed, when you say you got them at Walgreens, do you mean the SD Joystick? AX I think they mean the AtGames Arcade Motion. Mini system with two wireless Wii-like controllers. SD slot is on the unit itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I was talking about the AtGames Arcade Motion, not the arcade stick version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I'd like to get my son the stick version for his Birthday in April, but only find it online for silly amounts. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Does Walgreens carry the arcade stick version? If so I will have to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If the arcade stick is as well built as this one is (The d-pad is junk, I'm going to return it hoping the next one works a bit better), I wouldn't suggest paying a premium for the fancier arcade stick model. The sound isn't as bad as I expected (Although sometimes, the music is unrecognizable in a game like Outrun) and I can live with that and the occasional graphic iregularity. But the d-pad on this thing is horrible. Too bad since the ability to load games off SD card is neat and works well, and the wireless controllers communicate well to my surprise. If this just had a couple joystick ports to use a real Sega controller, or at least a decent d-pad, I'd be quite happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The general consensus (at least going by this thread) is that the d-pads are pretty good (comparatively speaking in regards to other clones). Maybe you got a faulty one?

Rex Dart Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Has anybody here bought/used the arcade stick version? I see these things at Frys every time I visit, and they're calling out to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Dart Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Oh, I dunno... I think they're $50-60? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Exchanged it tonight and the replacement seems to work much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Does anyone know why PAL games like Super Skidmarks work fine on this thing? That game isn't even supposed to be able to be displayed properly with a region switch installed on a Genesis, yet it displays fine on my tv along with other PAL games. Is this somehow converting them to NTSC output, or does my tv apparantly support PAL? Edited March 2, 2011 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Thought about picking up another Arcade Motion today. Walked into the Walgreens near work, and.. $30 price tags on the units. D'oh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The ones here are marked for $30 too. You should've had them ring one up to see what it came up at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychoKittyNet Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 @atariboy I think some modern TVs support multiple inputs. I think the manual in mine said it could accept NTSC, PAL and SECAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 The ones here are marked for $30 too. You should've had them ring one up to see what it came up at. Yeah, I thought about it. It was up high in top-stock though and didn't feel like bothering someone. Maybe next time I will try it--they had quite a few up there.

boxpressed Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The Arcade Motion was in the 75% off clearance shelf tonight for $7.49. Not a bad "emergency" unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
