Thank you RayB! I had one of those back in my C64 days, and I loved it. The past couple weeks I've been thinking how great it would be to get one (for emulator use), but I couldn't for the life of me remember what it was called. I was thinking of trying to describe it in a post here and see if anyone could identify it, but you just took care of that for me. Thanks! To bring this back on topic: Hoagie_one, for a really tiny joystick, I think your best bet is going to be to look at a variety of toys. You might even find something at a thrift shop/flea market etc. There's a lot of cheap handheld games, most of which have D-pads, but I've seen a few with tiny joysticks (sorry, can't remember any specifics). |

Lots of good memories in this forum! <snif> |

I don't think it will translate to a 4-way (or 8-way) stick. I had a red bead to go on top (it looked like a tiny ball top), but that got lost during a party (with lot's of kids around). BTW, people played on that machine the whole party. I was amazed they could stand the thiny stick, but it worked fine. So size really doesn't matter in this case ::) |
