Which joystick
mlcampbe:
Looks like I am not going to have the time or money to put into building the cabinet I had hoped for so for now I am stuck playing games on a computer. I'd like to get a joystick to use for this but don't want to spend too much for one.
Any suggestions as to which joystick to get for the classic (pacman, qbert, etc) games?

ultimarcs t-stick, its easily switchable from 4 - 8 way.

Let me rephrase it - I'm not going to build a cabinet so I need something I can plug into the computer. I know about the t-sticks and that is what I will use when/if I get to build a cabinet but for now I need a standard plugin joystick.

I really like the Logitech Dual Action controller (not a "joystick", I know). There are plenty of buttons to configure. Plays nice with mame. The analog sticks made robotron fun. Enjoyed Joust and many other games with it (Battletoads with my son). Sucks for pacman and probably quite few other games but if you're not partial against getting a controller instead of a joystick this is a good choice and not expensive.
