HAPPS Top Firebutton Super Joystick
« on: February 25, 2005, 05:28:55 pm »
Would anyone reccommend this as a 2nd Joystick for
a Player1 & Player2 setup?

The upside is it would be great for tank games....
Assault.... Sarge.....  Battlezone.... etc....

The downside (maybe?)
is that it may be unconfortable for Robotron/Smash TV?

Anyone use these badboys?
...so I will ask you... "Deal, or No Deal?"

What's your 1P stick going to be?

The Supers aren't bad, but they aren't a replacement for a good trigger stick either.
You'll need more than one fire button for games like Sarge though.

The Supers aren't that bad for Robotron, in that the corners aren't nearly as prominent as on the Competitions and Ultimates; but, again, they aren't a replacement for a good set of Wico leafswitch sticks either.

All-in-all they are a decent compromise, but aren't really GOOD at anything I can think of.

Competition Joys

Sarge= oh yeah.. two buttons for that one.....
I might just skip the tank games....  Nothing like having
2 Competition Joys in your hands for games....

The comps aren't going to play as nicely as the Supers on Robotron because they don't go through the corners as easily.
