Who doesn't miss the arcades? The thrill of popping token after token into Street Fighter just so you could get the initials ASS into the top score slot. Ah, those were the days. And now Mad Catz is ready to cash in on that nostalgic feel with the consciously retro GameStick. It's a blast to use on titles like Ms. Pac Man and Joust that we downloaded from Xbox Live Arcade.

Finally, after years of saving quarters, you have something worthy to spend them on.
