Blackjack Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Anyone know what this joystick is? On the bottom is a battery compartment, but I can't get it open (think it's fake). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Anyone know what this joystick is? On the bottom is a battery compartment, but I can't get it open (think it's fake). I have a pair of those as well, as does Kepone. We have it pictured in our rarity guide at gamerzuniverse: http://www.gamerzuniverse.net/atari/Atari%...guide%20U-Z.htm As of yet, we haven't been able to determine who the manufacturer is. Here's a closeup of the bottom one of the controllers that does have the labels still on them confirming that this controller was made with the 2600 in mind: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Rescue Group Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 The battery hatch is likely because that design was probably used as a wireless/remote controller in some other lifeform of that design. The battery isn't needed in yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted September 5, 2004 Author Share Posted September 5, 2004 Hmmm, I actually have something unusual? How Cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjk7382 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I had three of those at one point. All of the wires got robbed off of them and put on nes controllers I think I threw the plastic joystick parts away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 I've got one of those somewhere. After I couldn't get that stupid battery door open, I took it apart to see what was behind that door. Nothing, of course. No wiring for a battery at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
