spawnshop Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm fairly new to collecting 2600 stuff, but came across this when looking for joysticks? It looks to be Duel Button Gemstick. Anyone familiar with these? What system, 2600, 5200, 7800? Why 2 buttons? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambouis de l'Atari Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Probably just a standard "atari" stick, the two buttons are to suit to left handed as well as right handed.

+save2600 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Gemini sticks in general are nice. I like them as an alternative to the standard CX-40. One *could* replace the cable with a 9-pin Sega or extension cable, add a couple of resistors and voila! 7800 compatible dual button controller.

gilsaluki Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 It is certainly a two-button Gemstik. I have the single button version. They are pretty nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may a little tip, to Duel means to fight, DUAL is what means having 2 of like a Dual Cassette Deck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0078265317 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Remember seeing them many years ago on ebay but not anymore. Anyhow found this 2 button with yellow and black very similar. Does this look decent? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-JOYSTICK-FOR-ATARI-COMMODORE-SINCLAIR-SORRY-NO-BOX-OR-INSTRUCTIONS-/291568647183?hash=item43e2d87c0f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
