People seem to either love them or hate them.  I love them, but the only other joysticks I've had are Ultimates, and unlike most people here, I don't play fighters....

Why do some people hate them?

Some people don't like the lever-actuated microwitches or think they're noisy.  There is a review of them at http://www.oscarcontrols.com/joycompare/joyreview1.shtml ; he likes the Competitions a bit more, especially for fighters, but thiks the Super is a good stick...

There have been other threads on the Supers recently... lots of opinions going around!  I've been very happy with mine, though...

who's this rob roberts fellow?
Game programmers do not play games for a living.  Would you say a mechanic drives cars for a living?

From http://www.therealbobroberts.com/ :

Bob was born in Louisanna. At the age of 2 he was abandoned by his parents and raised by the Operators of a local arcade, where he learned to speak their language and interact with other Operators of other arcades. By the age of seven he showed promise as a child prodigy and composed his first work, The Magic Fluke. (Hollywood eventually made a movie about this part of his life called "Dances with Operation Wolf's")

By the time he reached 14, he had found Mrs. Bob, and they were soon wed, which worked out for her because people could never figure out why she was called Mrs. Bob. By 21, Bob had amassed a fortune in Atari lighted pushbuttons and 1/2 ohm resistors. Had it not been for the accident in which he dropped an Electrohome G07 on his foot, he might have ruled the 1/2 ohm resistor market. But it was not to be.

5 years after his 21st birthday, Bob turned 64 years old (marriage will do that to ya) and he decided to retire. January 1st of the year 2000, Bob's business will officially be sold to the Greater Louisianna Waste Disposal Company, who is turning his business into an electrocution related theme park for criminals on death row.

(I know there are alot of years in there that I kind of glossed over, but Bob is a very humble guy and I know he didnt want me to mention anything about the time he saved the planet from starvation by inventing sliced bread, or the time he invented 'ice'. Thats just Bob...)
