Classic Arcade Game News: August 2007
X-Arcade™ XXL Cabinet Control Panel
Do not adjust your monitor, yes that thing is BIG! It's the X-Arcade™ XXL control panel made specifically for DIY arcade machine builders. At 37" X 16.5” you have plenty of room to put in a spinner, 4-way ball-top, or even some cup holders! The best part, they're half the price of the Tankstick at under one hundred dollars! But the supply is very limited, and when they're gone, they're gone!

The King of Kong
Billy Mitchell is known as the video game player of the century, breaking world records on games such as Pac-Man™, Centipede™, and Donkey Kong™. But one man has made it his life goal to dethrone the champ on his favorite game. “The King of Kong,” is the story of a middle school science teacher as he battles a hot sauce mogul for the Guinness World Record™ on the arcade classic Donkey Kong™.
The movie was just released, and the reviews are looking good!
Our friend Mitch Gerson over at Retroblast™ also did a full review in the latest issue of GameRoom magazine.
If you're a classic gaming fan, they finally made a movie for you. Go see it!

True Next-gen Gaming With A Wiimote!
As Nintendo® continues it's success with their Wii™ console devouring the casual gaming market, some core gamers are starting to feel left holding their Wiimote. While these gamers anxiously wait for a headset needed for a true online gaming experience, Nintendo® releases a glorified scale for the moms instead. And Though gamers of all types the world over are excited about the possibilities ahead with Wiimote style gaming, some feel as though they are sacrificing everything else they love about gaming (next-gen graphics, digital surround sound, a true online gaming experience, downloadable game demos, etc) for just a new controller.
Wouldn't it be great if you could have the best of both worlds? What if you could use a Wiimote on your Xbox 360? Now you can! An adventurous and skillful modder has managed to turn a Wii remote into an Xbox™ 360 controller! A video demonstration is just ahead that shows the control scheme at work with Halo™ 2, and it is impressive!
Will this inspire Microsoft® or Sony® to make a Wiimote-like controller for their mega-powerful consoles? Certainly they too see the demand for it, it may be only a matter of time.

X-Arcade™Overclocked
Nothing says hardcore PC gamer like the guys who risk overclocking their cutting edge (and expensive) rigs just to pump out a few extra frames per second in their favorite games. And nowhere else gathers those gamers together quite like the Overclockers Club™ website.
So could the old-school X-Arcade™ Tankstick fancy these hardcore gamers? It seems so; "The X-Arcade™ Tankstick was an amazing experience because it really took my buddies and I back to the arcade in the mall, and returned all those memories of the great games.".
Not only that, but it got his dad into the fun as well. "My father even came downstairs to see what all the commotion was all about and played a few of his favorite games. That was the first time in a long time that I've seen him smiling and having a ton of fun."
Check out the full review to see why you've just got to get one of your own.
