Trackballs

Post by Hatta »

I see the X-Arcade trackball is $40 off right now. That's a deal if it's as good as I hear it is (http://classicgaming.gamespy.com/View.p ... ail&id=206). Not just for marble madness, but missile command isn't the same without a track ball. I've been playing Atari 2600 missile command with a Wico trackball (http://cgi.ebay.com/Wico-TRACKBALL-CONT ... 17100r8361), and it kicks all ass. It's a shame there's no Marble Madness for the 7800. I can't say enough about that trackball, the quality of construction is fantastic.

I've heard the Logitech marble mouse is really good too though. I'm tempted to run out tonight and buy one. It's cheap and would make a good general purpose mouse too. It just doesn't have that retro feel to it.

Any thoughts? Any other products I should consider?
