Need a joystick with this feel:...
« on: November 21, 2005, 01:33:02 pm »
Building a control panel and can't decide on the joysticks. I would like a joystick that feels like my old Amiga joystick, which was called "The Arcade", and built by Suzo, I believe. My friend wants something that also feels like an old Amiga joystick, namely the Zipstick. I've read all the reviews of the Happs and Ultimarc sticks, but I really can't remember how much throw those old Amiga joysticks had, so I can't decide. Please help me - all comments are welcome!

I remember that stick fondly. The ultimarc euro-stik might be fairly close to what you're looking for. I can't say I've used it myself, but it looks similar to the old suzo arcade sticks and it is an actual suzo.

Thanks for  the input - I've also looked at the Euro-Stik. I'm just a little reluctant because the mounting is supposed to be a little awkward. But actually I did notice that Suzo was also behind the Euro-Stik. Thanks again. Other inputs?
