Interesting Joystick in the TVGames Ms. Pac Collection

I'd be VERY cautious about buying one of these things.  Jakks has sunk to a new low in terms of the construction & quality control.

I bought one last week only to get it home and find out that I could not move down in Ms. Pac-Man.  All the other games worked fine.

I returned it for a new one.  When I brought that one home, the joystick was much stiffer & Ms. Pac-Man worked fine.  However, there must have been a bad pot in the joystick because I could not turn the car at all in Pole Position.

I'm on my third unit now.  So far, so good.

As I said it should be great for Xybots...maybe Ikari Warriors etc. as well (I presume you can use joy inputs for rotate?)

RayB:

But Xybots uses two switches for left or right turn. Not a pot.

I know, but I would think it would still work well, since the joystick has a return to centre mechanism which is very unusual.  Analog inputs can be mapped to digital ones in MAME...
