I kinda like it, but would prefer a better choice of games (Well Ordyne at least!).

Also quite expensive in my mind, but rather cool.

First that rip-off 1000000 game NES thing, then Activition, then Atari, and now Namco....

You can buy it here...

It also looks left handed, which is odd.

(Actually, this is Retro i suppose!).

weird you mention its left handed, as it reminded me of something.

When I was younger, and played on my Amstrad I used a joystick but always used my right hand. It seemed the way - all my friends did the same. Just weird that lefty joysticks became the 'norm' (I realise you could categorise 'lefty' as either meaning joystick on left or buttons on left, I mean stick).

I mean, could you IMAGINE trying to do dragon punches with your 'wrong' hand? How weird would that be? Well not for me at least, as I am ambidextrous (though not sure if i can spell it correctly :) )

Yes this left stick to control your player is nonsense. I imagine the japanese invented it (control pads).

It's all wrong. It's easier to control with the right stick for us right handers. Its some sick lefties joke I tell you. Control pads are forever tainted now.

There was a Konami arcade game that my local arcade (at a SHIT seaside resort) called Crime Fighters (its proper old by now too). It was one of those 4 player posh machines (at the time), but I remember because of how the josticks 'surrounded' the screen, two of the four sets had the stick on the right instead of the left. All my silly mates! playing cross-handed! Not me though. As I mentioned, my left is as good as my right, something my girlfriend will testify to :)
