Hey all!
Just wanted to know, what do you think is the best joystick for a Galaga/Lady Bug/
Burger Time combo?
If possible PLEASE include pics, my wife loves to watch pictures!
Thanks,
Nicholas

I dont think the brand/model of joystick is going to be that important in your application, as long as you get a 4way(not 8way) balltop joystick
If it was just Galaga and not ladybug&burgertime you would be best with a 2way balltop

Don't buy from that website though, buy from ponyboy or divermaster in the b/s/t forum

I really like this Sanwa model for 4-way use. It's the same joystick that Ultimarc sells under the "J" Stick name.
In the end its a matter of personel preference. Joysticks are cheap enough that if you end up not liking the one you choose, you an always buy another.

We play galaga on a regular basis with a Perfect 360 and I have never heard a complaint about the joystick.

Any joystick is the perfect joystick for Galaga. There may not be a more joystick agnostic game out there.
