Is the analogue stick the greatest improvement gaming has ever had?

Damn.  That's a good one.   I recall many times where I had to do something in the middle of a game and it sucked because there was nothing you could do about it.   The ablity to pause is taken for granted and it's time it received just dues for its contribution to video game progress....literally.

Meh.. Pause is for unskilled people.. How many times did you press Pause during an arcade game? 

And they didn't let you save your game progress either.

Think on that for a moment.  Then add in the types of games found in arcades versus a home console.
