Aurakmerc Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hello, I picked up this controller a little while back and was wondering if anyone might have information about it. The only markings are around the plastic ring at the base of the metal stick. Newport Controls Bishop, CA Pat. Pend. I don't have a working 2600 at the moment, so I cannot test it, but thought it looked kind of neat and was cheap enough to get. Thanks for an info.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I have two of these myself but they have beige colored bases on them similar to the color around the joystick shaft. Mine both work well but I don't use them much as I find using something like the Tac-2 or Epyx 500XJ to be more comfortable. I got my two controllers with a large lot I picked up from an estate sale over 15 years ago and I believe the original owner got them for use with their Atari 8-bit computers as that is what was mostly in the lot I picked up at the time.

Aurakmerc Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Ah, so there are different colors out there! I will have to keep on the lookout for more. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I was mistaken. Mine have a black base just like the top portion does. But the rest of it is the same. I just played a quick round of Krazy Shootout with mine to confirm it was still working well and...yes! Works quite well still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
