Arcade Games have long since been a crowd favorite. And have been widely popular in the early 70's and 90's era. But due to the rise of technology and the birth of the Internet, the popularity that arcade games once had are not the same since. And in the mid 2000's, arcade games have been overshadowed by popular games of today's era. Such as virtual games; available for both mobile and desktop users. Also the play to earn games are popularly known now that everyone is using the Internet for ways to earn online.
And I'm quite sure that a lot of people are missing the essence of playing the physical arcades. Especially now that the governments in most countries are implementing a lot of strict rules in the community to avoid a community transmission.
But how about if I tell you something? That you can play arcade games again just in the comfort of your homes. Because this arcade game is designed to be a virtual one. Come and join in the fun. Bring back nostalgic moments from the past into the present and possibly into the future also. Introducing Joystick.club.
Joystick.club

Background
A little background on the site if anyone is wondering. For the last six months, Dev has been working tirelessly to promote the project. He has accounts on the following social medias, such as, Twitter, Oddessy, and Noise.Cash. He has been promoting the project long before the SmartBCH went live. Originally the Joystick.club is built an designed native to BCH mainnet and the tokens is in SLP form. (the old protocol for Bch) But is recently in the works to migrate to Sep20 tokens.
Joystick.club is designed as an arcade game though with the recent twist of making it virtual rather than the usual physical arcade in the past. Also with the recent trend of online crypto currency, they made payments virtually also by letting user pay not with a coin or a penny but with Bitcoincash.
I know you might be wondering how is that even possible, or you might not be but I'll still guide you through it. XD
If your using a PC or Desktop computer, you can access the site Joystick.club, provided that you have a badger with chrome and/or Firefox. And you can pay for your gameplay.
Take note that this is a Pay to Play game. Also a Play to Earn one.
And if you're using a mobile phone like I am. You can access the Joystick.club through your Bitcoin Wallet App.
Go to your Bitcoin Wallet App. Go to>Discovery option on the bottom of your wallets interface. And look for Joystick.club Icon.
Click the Icon and launch the service.
When launched it should look like this.
There are currently three arcade games available.
Choose which one you want to play. And pay for the fee via your Bitcoin.com wallet.
Enjoy playing and maybe compete for the top spot on the leader board.
As what I've said earlier this has been live for like long enough. It even has a telegram channel created about a year ago. But it just recently went boom when it was shared to other telegram groups. Because that's how I got into the telegram channel and got to know all about the project.
Experience
As I've already been around the project lately, I have also tried playing the games. First one was the Block Breaker. For two reasons, one, was that it was the only one with a free gameplay. Two, because it looks like the easiest one to play at that time. Hahah turns out, it was way harder than I thought. For someone who's not really good at games, this was way harder. But maybe for someone who grew up playing in physical arcades this would all be just a piece of cake.
And if you like want to get a glimpse of how each game looks like or works you can check out the Dev's Oddessy page right HERE.
Or you can also visit and/or watch my tiktok video on it by clicking HERE. (though you'd have to excuse my gameplay heheh.) As I've said earlier, I'm not really good at this games. Especially that I'm born in the era where the arcade are no longer the norm but the Internet is. So having Joystick.club is really a great idea because now we can enjoy arcade games virtually just in the comfort of our homes.
And stay tuned for more games to be launched in the site.
Announcement
So yeah a little announcement to make from the Devs of Joystick.club.
Starting today we're holding up a contest "Name the Game!".
This is regarding one of the first four games that's been launched in the site. It was previously named "Satoshi's Angels". Which is a space shooter game that's very popular with users.
However, due to a sudden incident, the game had to be offline for the time being. And many users noticed that today. Developers had spoken to the team behind Satoshi's Angels, and they have asked us to remove the name and partnership. Because some online entities have been using their name on scams and they chose not to affiliated with other entities for the time being.
So for the name change, we're humbly asking for the communities help in the decision. Not only can it boost the community interaction but also give everyone equal chances to have a vote in the name change.
If you're interested to join here are our mechanics :
Uniqueness - 40%
Meme Ability - 10%
Shooting Theme - 20%
Space Theme - 15%
Fun to say - 15%
Deadline is 5 days from now. Starting on October 27 - November 1.
Winner gets 1000 JOY tokens.
Hope this gets you excited as much as we are for this contest. Only one entry per person, you can DM the volunteers in the telegram chanel. Good luck everyone!
Yet we still haven't closed our doors yet for Satoshi's Angels. We hope to work with them again in the near future.
There is also an article on Medium about the contest "Name the Game!". You can check it HERE.
Author's Note:
So that's about it you guys. This is not a sponsored content, however I like the idea of bringing something from the into present and quite probably into the future also. Since this project aims to be included in the SmartBCH projects that we know of today.
That's why I thought about this review of mine on the site. And also the facts here are from the Dev, himself. And you can join the telegram channel HERE.
Though this was supposed to be published yesterday but due to having a writer's block I got out of schedule. 😔
Also there are already Sep20 tokens of JOY available on both MistSwap and BenSwap. But you have to input the Contract Address in order to view it.
Here's the CA for JOY:
0x6732E55Ac3ECa734F54C26Bd8DF4eED52Fb79a6E
It has a total of 2M supply both in SLP and Sep20. As of today the JOY token is priced at 0.03$ or 0.00005 BCH. According to Marketcap.cash, JOY is ranked as top 22 based on liquidity and top 9 based on price. It's s on top 32 based on total supply.
