GOPODULAR!® Arcade Control Panel for PC & consoles:

Classical Minions™

Real Arcade Controls:

The Classical Minions arcade controller uses a 4-way Galaga / Ms. Pac-Man "reunion" balltop joystick that is exactly what is placed in the commercial environment.  It's built to last.  The buttons are genuine Happ Concave buttons with Cherry brand microswitches cycle tested to 10 million button presses.  We do not use imitation controls.  We only use name brand, reputable components.

Compare our Controller Layout:

The layout of the controller gives great gameplay on classic games.  Compare our layout to the original panels from the full-size arcade machines:

		Original Control Panels:		Notes:
Pac-Man Control Panel				Wait... Pac-Man didn't use buttons...  Correct!  But it's the best example of a 4-way joystick.  You can NOT move diagonally with a 4-way joystick.  That means precise control.
Stargate Control Panel				Reverse, Thrust, Fire, Smart Bomb all per the original.  The Hyperspace & Inviso buttons have moved on our panel.
Defender Control Panel				Reverse, Thrust, Fire, Smart Bomb all per the original.  The Hyperspace button has moved on our panel.
Toobin Control Panel				Our panel has flattened out the original buttons for back-paddling.
Asteroids Control Panel				Exact layout supported!

Arcade Panel Construction:

Bolts?  What bolts?  Controls *can* be mounted without the ugliness of having bolts or other metal sticking through the panel.  It just takes a little more time.   GOPODULAR! takes that extra time.  Nobody else does.  Instead, they'll use wood screws from the bottom and try and pass that off.  This is what puts our construction techniques above the others in the industry.  This panel is based off of panels built for commercial use and we concentrated on what game genre this panel is for, not how easily it can be built.  Our competitors just slap controls in a cheap melamine box.  You won't see ugly mounting holes or glue joints on our controllers.  Watch out for our imitators that use wood screws from the bottom.  MDF, particle board and manufactured woods like it don't allow you to remove and reinsert screws.  That's not what they were designed for.  Yet that's what you'll be getting if you buy from someone else.

Make the Right Choice:

You may be a kid at heart, but you don't want a kid's controller.  GOPODULAR! uses the highest quality parts available, while the "other guys" use imitation controls and cheap assembly methods.  Shop around.  Compare what we offer to what else is out there.  Ask yourself who offers the best.  We know you'll be back.
