the closest supercenter is now 3 miles away...the old non-supercenter was in biking distance.

Three miles still seems like "biking distance"

I agree with BrianR. The wired vesion of Ms PacMan is a lot of fun. I bought it on sale a couple days back at Circuit City for $10. I had low expectations for it, but the price was right. I'm 37 and played Ms PacMan a fair degree "back in the day" but hardly was an expert at the game. I think this version is great and captures a lot of what was fun about the original. The music sounds virtually the same and the gameplay is extremely close. The control is pretty decent, but not perfect. I do question exactly how long the stick will last, but for now, it's a lot fun. The other games are a blast too...especially Galaga and Xevious. They may not be spot-on accurate, but unless you have the original arcade machine handy or have been playing the MAME versions a lot in recent times, I think most people will be very happy with them.

 

Cheers!

p.s. The revised version of this controller sounded very appealing, but I really don't need wireless and didn't want to pay $30-$40 for it, vs. $10 for the wired version.
