PackratVG Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 I also love the WICO Command joystick. It's very responsive and very reliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted October 20, 2002 Share Posted October 20, 2002 To be honest, I never much liked this joystick. I have the bat-top, which is only slightly different than the ball-top you showed. It's built very well, but it's overly large. It keeps me from turning fast in games like Space Invaders and Front Line, which causes me to die more often. I prefer something like the Gemini controllers with the paddle on them. Much less swing radius on the stick. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have Gemini controllers with the paddle on them, what I found out about gemini's fire button that where my tumb's postion is, I did realized that my tumb become tiresome, I pefer the fire button on the top not on the side of controller.....meanwhile, I tried to push the fire button more often but not enough also I tried to move back and forth from the joystick need more faster but not enough respone from classic Atari joystick.

Rob Mitchell Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Funny thing about the Wico sticks .. They are built like tanks .. but the cables are cheap .. and it is not uncommon to get one with a broken wire .. Easy to replace the whole cable though .. a cable from a broken, abused, Atari stick will do. Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 The WICO is a very good controller for the Atari system. Plus I hear that seller is a GREAT person to buy from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Yancey Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 The guts are just like a real arcade machine! It should last forever. I love my Wico stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Mitchell Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 I just got finished repairing a WICO bat stick .. The cable was bummed .. so I had to replace it. Works great now .. Arcade quality .. Built like a tank inside! Rob Mitchell, Atlanta, GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
