Happ Ms Pac VS Ultimarc J-Stik Balltop
<< < (2/3) > >>
Trenchbroom:
I seem to be one of the few J-Stick advocates around.  I love 'em!  I also have a T-Stick balltop I've played around with for my cocktail cabinet (not completed) and the longer throw of the J-Stick just works for me.

The cocktail, when finally finished, will have a T-Stick on P1 side and a 20th anniversary on the other.  They won't match for squat but this way I can get all my vertical schmuppy goodness on the cocktail cab and still get sweet 2 player 4-way flipscreen oldschool gaming as well.

I've been considering the J-Stick as an alternative to the T-Stick and Happs Ms Pac.

One concern has been the length of the stick as I am likely to use a wood cp for the "classic" bartop projects I am working on.

Do you have yours mounted in metal or wood cp?

What's the distance between the top of mount and the bottom of the ball on the J-Stick?
rchadd:
to mount the jstick (and tstick - unless you have the long handle version) on a wooden CP you will need to route out underneath.
bigle:
i got the t-stik plus for the switchability but if you are building a classic machine i'd go with a dedicated 4-way.  i don't mind the short throw but my stick is way to high (i've got a metal cp) and stiff which makes playing fast ms pac man difficult.

I love the balltop J-Stick too for 4 way games. It works great for Nibbler and the Pac-Man games that I only play with the fast speed cheat enabled.
