Interesting Joystick in the TVGames Ms. Pac Collection
MPS:
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?)

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...
