Never played the game before but looks like it’s pretty close in game play to Pac-Man? Seems like locating a stick close to that would be good, no?

The Wico 4 way that I have (and other Wico’s are pretty stiff compared to a Pac-man stick, it may be it’s cause the grommet hasn’t been broken in yet. I’m sure you are probably aware but if you want a new Wico 4 way they are here (4 inch handle also available):

I picked up this Pac-Pro from GGG and it’s quicker movement but uses a spring rather than a grommet so may not be as “authentic”.

Maybe Mikey will locate an original in KLOV.

Good luck, that’s a tough decision.

Mike A:
I am going to ask around, but that is a funky stick. I heard that the universal cocktails used the same base but a shorter shaft.

I am also going to ask people what the closest stick is to that one.

The Universal games I have played around here all have modern micro switch joysticks thrown in them.

The clicky clicky is annoying on a game that is not supposed to clicky clicky.

mourix:
Thanks for the help, Mike! I would gladly work together to get the most fitting stick. I can get a Dutch company to order anything from GGG if I decide in less than two weeks but would be totally open to a better solution.

Unfortunately I will have to sell this machine by the end of the year as it's in my parents' place and I lack my own. This means I would feel really bad for getting anything for free. Let's find the right one and I'll pay in full, okay? You know my budget, and my pic I will put here anyways ;)

Mike A:
Okay. Sorry you have to sell it. :'(

Vigo:
What a fantastic project! Its such a shame you will have to sell it, you do good work.
