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. 

PL1:

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.

Eh, I always thought nintendo sticks were overengineered, undersized and had a terrible feel to them.

Over engineered? That's good enough for me. OMRON is the original company that made the switches, so I'll stick with them.

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
