Old school gamers love the nostalgic feeling from playing games of the 80s and 90s, even in emulated mode with the state-of-the art gaming mouse and keyboard on a duo-core computer. Obviously, a few of us would go as far as bidding for an original Atari console, but at least we can now get a controller that the mimics the feel of the classic joystick. Compatible with virtually any emulators whether they be Mame, Daphne, or Stella, the aptly-named Legacy USB joystick looks exactly like an Atari controller from the 80s (or is it 70s?), but ressurected in the 21st century, it interfaces with a PC/Mac/Linux with USB. The Legacy however comes merely with a single button. Luckily, the circuit board provides an 10 internal contact points for wiring up to the same amount of additional fire buttons. If a $400 Wii is out of your budget for this year Christmas holiday, then maybe get yourself a $14.99 Legacy USB joystick along with free ROMs floating on the Internet. About Everything USB
