That Bench Invaders looks alright, but I'd only buy it if it came with a soundtrack CD, perhaps a little figurine.

Arcade sticks are useful for a number of things. For shooters however, the gamepad should work just as good, however its understandable if you are looking for the arcade feel in your retro gaming experience. If your concerned about fighting games or games that require the use of a wide spread panel to nail down complex combinations, the arcade stick is highly recommended.
