I picked up this Wico Command Control Trackball at a local retro gaming store, and let me tell you... it was absolutely filthy. Disgusting. But Wico is known for building tanks, so I decided to clean it up, lubricate the bearings, and see if this old-school beast can still handle modern gameplay on the Commodore 64.

In this video, I break down the cleanup process and then put the Wico through its paces with a gauntlet of C64 classics and homebrews. Does Arkanoid play better? Is Centipede actually playable? And how does it handle the circular motion of Gyruss?

If you're thinking about picking one of these up on eBay (they run about $40–$45), watch this first!
