foxglove9 Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 I saw this in the store the other day, thought it was pretty neat looking.

Adrian M Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 That's actually kind of cool, considering it's from Hot Topic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 But does it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Dunno. I do know the smallest working joystick would have to be the Powerstick from Amiga. Roughly the size of a US half dollar coin, it's so small you could use just one hand to play with your thumb on the stick and one of the finger on the fire button. Perfect when you want to play games that requires 2 joysticks and you only have yourself to play witrh... erm that didn't saound right. I'd have to keep an eye for that tiny joystick next time I visit shopping mall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hot Topic lately has had a lot of classic gaming shirts there. I've bought a couple. I don't like to go into the place, though. It makes me feel so old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is one for you, they are a little bigger than a half dollar though. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3072988619 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 It's about time we catered to the Midget Atari players. They have been ignored long enough :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindog Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 But does it work? It'd be cool to hack a couple mercury switches into it so you could make it a working stick without destroying it I guess that wouldn't help the fire button though, especially with that seam running through it like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how comfortable they are to use, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 They're not very comfortable. I've got a pair in a storage tote somewhere. I never cared for the button placement. And the stick is just too short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 Yeah, those sticks are NOT my favorite. I had one like that at one time, except the colors were a light and dark gray. The stick sounded like it needed some oil after a while (squeaky), and didn't last too long after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
