MrRetroGamer Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I'm looking around for info, I've seen those before, looks very similar to the Spectravideo Quickshot without the base. I'll keep looking, maybe an article in one of my old EG mags will turn up something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamerz Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I have 2 of them. One is in poor condition though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 I was going through my joysticks and I found this one. It has no name or marking except on the plug it say WEC. Any ideas, clues? I think I have virtually the same one -- and I don't have a clue what it is, either. It came in a lot of Atari and NES stuff I bought last year that included about 12 sticks. It looked unweildy so I never tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I was going through my joysticks and I found this one. It has no name or marking except on the plug it say WEC. Any ideas, clues? I finally found my boxed one, pics are on the way. Made by RGA International Ltd. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I was going through my joysticks and I found this one. It has no name or marking except on the plug it say WEC. Any ideas, clues? Dunno, except I got the same thing in a box of Atari 8-bit stuff. Didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Woohoo! I got one that's not on the list!! It's called "Starfighter," it's a very hard plastic stick that's on the small side. I actually got two of these back in the 80's to replace my CX-40's. I've since sold one but still have the other somewhere, I think. I got it at Radio Shack, for whatever that's worth. I'll have to track it down and snap some pics. Also, I have some open Mindscape controllers (the guide has only a sealed one) that I use all t he time. Y'all need pix of them, too?

It'd be nice to get at least one boxed shot and one loose shot for each listing. I was wondering if anyone had the D-zyn Suprstick or Le Stick who'd be willing to contribute images? The others I can think of not already there are the Sears driving controllers, and the other MB controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xot Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 Cool. I can probably do that tonight. If you want to, PM me an e-mail addy to send 'em to and some specs (size, resolution etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the 5th ghost Posted February 21, 2004 Share Posted February 21, 2004 I have several controllers and a few with their boxes that are not in your rarity guide. I will do my best to get pictures. Probably the most unusual one I have is a Zoomer by Beeshu. It's a large gray controller with two large handles (kinda looks like an airplane steering wheel). It also has a dial for auto fire on the base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Monkey Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I have 3 controllers not on the rarity list yet. I've already taken the pix and will submit them on Monday... I am not on my own connection right now... They are: Newport ProStick III Starfire - and an "unknown".... (spooky!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Do you a picture of this gun: The gun looks like the the pack-in gun from a Famicom clone.. I have one that came in a PS-One shell with a gun that looks similar to that one. They also use DB-9 connectors, but I haven't tried using one on a VCS yet... *wonders why he hasn't tried using one on a VCS yet* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.FoodMonster Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 That Tron stick is probably the coolest looking one on that list. I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought it was a colecovision controller. These would be a welcome addition. @MrFoodmonster, the Tron Controller is also excellent to use. It's by far my favorite VCS controller. I hope to get the box for it in good shape someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Is the Prostick III compatable with the Atari? I always thought it was a colecovision controller. These would be a welcome addition. They were "made" for the CV but I suspect the only real differences between the II and the III is the Y-cable for the CV controllers so you can continue to use the CV keypad, and the 3 "position" button. I bought both of mine new (can't find the boxes though - just the manuals ) and both of them "died" around the same time.. the cabling went "bad" for some reason, so I recently put in new surplus Atari cables... When they were new and original they worked fine with the VCS and 7800... so, yes, I would call them 100% Atari "compatible". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Rescue Group Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I don't think the Pointmaster rates a 5. They are way more common than that. I have two or three of them and see them regularly when I'm out hunting. The "Unknown Light Gun" that is pictured on the list (and the type of the one shown above) looks like the ones in those multi game sets (called Power Player or Power Joy or something like that) that are currently at the flea markets. Dirt common I think. Does the gun actually work on 2600 games? I think I have the RGA Remote Control Joysticks. Can't get them to work. I may have a controller that isn't listed. I'll dig when I get back home in a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 I can't believe I didn't post in this thread yet. I like the way the list is coming together. Thanks to sku_u for getting my nes controller up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 Quite interesting, similar but so differnet from the other Competition Pros. IMO too different. A pirate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted February 22, 2004 Share Posted February 22, 2004 How much or how do I get a modified NES controller for 2600, bjk? I've noticed that the rarity guide has a lot of names of controllers but no pics for them yet. Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would you consider a pirate controller? IMO there is no such thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone unauthorized uses a brand name we call them "product pirates" over here in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
