Which is a shame, since the buttons themselves are spaced very nicely and have a great feel to them. Toggling the analogue control seemed to do very little to alleviate this problem. In games like R-Type where fine control is essential this is an instant deal breaker. So you have to move the stick a certain amount for anything to be picked up. There seems to be a "dead zone" between where you move and where it actually picks up the control. The analogue/digital stick proved very quickly to be unresponsive. Sadly enough, I've seen controllers neglect this.The real reason I bought this was for R-Type Final, one of the best new Shmups since Ikaruga. Pretty cool, and it means that the Shadowblade isn't useless if a game only supports one or the other. View image: The shiny button on the top of the stick is the toggle for analogue movement of stick itself. This was a cool touch and something I hope more sticks emulate in the future. The other REALLY nice thing about this stick is the fact there's a cavity on the bottom of the stick where you can stow the cable so the stick is easy to store and nice to display. Its a pretty matte and shiny black (rendered horrible looking by my ghetto flash) and it only cost me a few bucks. Execs, if you want me to like your controller add a few weights in it or something, instant +1 to the score).
It has a good heft to it (for some reason I do that Jurassic Park lawyer trick where if something is heavy, it must be nice and expensive. View image: My first impression of this stick was very positive. First off: The Interact Shadowblade Arcade Stick. Which means I get to try a lot of odd controllers in the privacy of my own home for very, very cheap. We get a lot of weird things in the store, and since I take them in I usually get first pick. We still have data on 5 1/4" discs we need to put into the dos machines we use now.So there was some interest for a few reviews and pics detailing some of the more obscure controllers and death dealers in my collection, so I thought I'd oblige. Although we use DOS now, we miss cpm & how actually FAST it was compared to Windows. "We both have been into computers since 1970's & currently own 6 OSBORNE's in working condition. "Ohmigod! I'm reminded of when I worked for Heath Kline at Priority One Electronics in Chatsworth.and before that for Galaxy Computers in Woodland Hills when the Commodore 64 was introduced! We thought it huge compared to the Timex Sinclair." If sold with a cabinet and power supply, Josef Rabinowitz would be retired. If from sea level, they would stack high enough to top the tallest building in Downtown Denver. If stacked on top of one another, they would be as tall as a 667 story building. Now that would have been a nice sale, but would have been stolen by Jim Scharffe or Mike Daniel. It would take 16,000 ST506’s to reach the memory of the drive in WalMart (again sitting on the shelf, not behind a locked cabinet).Īt $2000.00 a pop, it would cost me $32,000,000.00. My head started hurting, so I rounded the ST506 to $2000. So I stood there trying to do the math on what it would cost to equate that volume of storage with ST506 drives at $1995.00 a pop.
SHADOW BLADE ARCADE STICK SOFTWARE
Never mind that it comes with the software to copy everything to the new drive.
They had a 80gig drive sitting on the shelf next to the surge suppressors for $70.
SHADOW BLADE ARCADE STICK PC
I was curious as to how much a replacement drive would cost me for my PC at home, which has a 17gb drive in it. I was in WalMart last night, and I swung by the Electronics area.
