AtariLeaf Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I picked up some goodies today including this joystick. Anyone recognize it? It has no markings or writing of any kind on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minorleagueguy Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 I think I saw one of those on a ti/994a once.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahsMyBro Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Something about it made me think of the Color Computer, but it the TI99/4a feels right also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLeaf Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 No, its not the greatest stick ever created but it does work. I was just curious since it came with the BOXED VADER I picked up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yar Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Strangest stick I've seen in a while... -Yar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t.skid Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Nope... don't know that Joystick... But the printer on the background, is a Stylus 760? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Something about it made me think of the Color Computer, but it the TI99/4a feels right also. I don't know about the TI, but the Coco used non-standard 5-pin round DIN connectors. They are incompatible with everything, except some 1980's Tandy PC clones.

RIVER Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Hey dont kill me if this is totally wrong, but i read an article and saw a pic the other day that was about the japan released version 2800 and they talked about the differences in the joysticks, how the japanese joystick was a little bigger and had a round grip much more comfortable to use than the american joystick, and that looks like the one in the pic i saw. I think thats right, anyone else know if that sounds right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 I've seen a few of those on my video game runs... I'm not sure what they're for, but I'm pretty sure they're NOT Tandy sticks... My guess would be TI99/4a. --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Never mind... it seems like this auction has some actual TI99/4a controllers... --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted January 18, 2003 Author Share Posted January 18, 2003 Nope... don't know that Joystick... But the printer on the background, is a Stylus 760? Close, its an 880 And no its not a Tandy stick as was mentioned, nor a TI stick but it does work with the Atari or any system that uses that standard connection. The strange thing about it is that it has absolutely no identifying marks of any kind on it. Even third party companies put their name on it somewhere. But not on this one.

sku_u Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Would it be easy to open one up? Maybe the identifying mark is inside the controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbrit2 Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Hey, I've got one of those. Right now, it's in a box with my TI-99/4A, but around this house, that really doesn't mean anything significant. I'm really not sure what it's for, since I've never tinkered with it. Hopefully it's for the TI, since anything would be better than those god-awful pre-packaged joysticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
