GOPODULAR!®
Arcade Control Panel for PC & consoles:
Classical Minions
|
GOPODULAR! is proud to present the Classical Minions control panel. This panel
is aimed at the people that fell in love with games like Asteroids, Frogger, Space
Invaders, Defender, and an all time favorite of ours, Pac-Man. This panel can also
be used with console systems by using our Swappable Cartridge Encoders. |
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.

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. |

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.
