Scott --- End quote --- This game is "Pink" themed. (Pink T-molding, pink buttons, and pink joystick). The joysticks you referred to do not come with a pink ball top. Thanks.

My opinion is that original Nintendo joys are the most reliable. The only time I have heard of the joystick itself failing was in a small fire. But it wasn't broken. |

Versa-ball 2 shafts may fit the reunion sticks and allow your choice of 6mm threaded balltops. No confirmation from RandyT in this thread, but it looks like the same size. Scott |

Eh, I always thought nintendo sticks were overengineered, undersized and had a terrible feel to them. --- Quote from: Hoopz on November 13, 2012, 01:31:38 pm ---My opinion is that original Nintendo joys are the most reliable.

Over engineered? That's good enough for me. OMRON is the original company that made the switches, so I'll stick with them. http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/s...?sku=TKG-23-10 http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/s...?sku=TKG-23-13 http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/s...ku=TKG-23-13-B As for feel. I am use to them when I play Mario Bros. Any other joystick/switch wouldn't feel right on that game. ;D So now, as for the Ms. Pac-man game, I have to figure if I should machine down one of the 4" pink ball tops I have so that they fit an original Pac-man joystick assembly or go with something like this: http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/imported-joysticks/20-pink-top.html Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. |
