X-Arcade Tankstick

Jun 8 2007, 4:58pm CDT | by Shane McGlaun

X-Arcade sent me a Tankstick to review that was sitting on my doorstep waiting for me when I returned from vacation. I pried it out of the box last night and enjoyed hours of some of my favorite arcade games from growing up.

Included with the massive arcade stick are two CDs that have a number of old school games like my personal favorite, SmashTV. I can’t tell you how many quarters I spent on that game in my youth.

The control features dual joysticks that allow for two players at once, or realistic action on dual stick games like SmashTV. You can see that there is also a trackball built-in for some serious Centipede action or Missile command. The Tankstick could have been pried out of my favorite arcade game with its looks and build quality. Look for the full review of the Tankstick soon.
