Thinking of doing an 8-way joystick shootout...

Walka walka walka walka walka. :laugh2:
Pacman and Donkey Kong is a good 4-way.
Contra is a good side scroller.
1941 is a good shooter.
Street Fighter is a good fighter game.
I'd only stick to a single popular game in each category you can think of.
PL1:
I like the idea of adding a specific game title to each category/genre to more clearly define it. :cheers:
i.e. 90's fighters (Mortal Kombat) - Med/long throw, circular restriction

What an undertaking!
What is your objective? Is it to find the best 8 way for a "sample size" of games? Or is it to find which stick works best for a particular game? Or category of games?
I'd like to read an overview on the mechanics of each of the joysticks with diagrams and photography with circles and arrows and a paragraph explaining the function of each component in the sub-assembly, thereby describing the overall assembly.
Aside from that, if we could get some Mythbuster's style highspeed photography, that would be cool too.

The goal is to determine which joysticks work best for individual genres, as well as which joysticks work better overall.

Sure, if someone wants to finance a high-speed camera. ;D
