Absolutely impressive. I love the flight stick and the tiered design. The only major thing missing besides a light gun is a steering wheel. A steering wheel is the major thing that I'm missing (besides more exotic sticks), so I end up just using the spinner as a wheel.

I've considered doing other emulation on my machine (though with my collection I tend to prefer to use the real thing), but right now I just use MAME mostly and media stuff, as well as use a commercial Dragon's Lair collection and commercial pinball games. I used GameTap for a while on it, but haven't reupped my subscription.

I wish I'd figured out a way to put a steering wheel on properly, but I didn't have one at the time that would go into the USB port (the one I have uses a gameport and isn't 100% reliable) so I gave it up, and yes, I use the spinner and buttons. The light gun - I didn't play light gun games when I was a kid, they weren't that appealing to me. My son loves them NOW, so again, if I do this again one day...

The flight stick is awesome playing Falcon 4.0 or other games of that nature, and people seem to really like it.

It's a blast. My wife thinks I'm crazy, but I love playing games on that thing. I spend WAY too many hours on it. Luckily, the Wii and PS2 are across the room, so the whole family gets into things together.
