At only $20, the LegacyEngineer controller is a pretty nice deal. Not only do you get a USB-powered Atari 2600 controller, you get a warm feeling that no, the 1980s did not pass you by and that no, spending most of your grade school years playing D&D and listening to the James Bond theme song album over and over on casette again (true story!) were not for naught. After all, now this crazy joystick is cool and the jock turned fake gamer who used to ask you how to beat Ganon in Legend of Zelda on the NES when you were in 8th grade is now selling used cars.
