Help me find this joystick!
« on: April 13, 2007, 06:27:19 pm »
I'm at work today browsing the BYOAC Wiki (not that any of you do this at work, LOL) and I came across a vendor that sells a compact topfire joystick but it's not from Happs and I can't find the vendor now.

Has anyone come across this joystick or have a compact topfire?

Is it decent or is the compact feature a bit awkward to play?  I have a regular topfire but I'm thinking of replacing it with something smaller or just removing the topfire button completely.

Cheers!   :cheers:

Unfortunately I was at work using a computer I won't be able to get to for awhile.  it's not the end of the world I just thought if someone came across the joystick in the past or know off hand which one I'm talking about they could send me the info.  So far 33 people don't know what I'm referring to so it must be tricky to find.  No biggie.  Thanks.

Could be.  Can't tell for sure with the different angle. It is from arcadeshop.de and did not have a model or manuf.

Alot better price from Randy.

LOL!  Sorry guys, not yet.  Actually I own the Topfire that you guys found from GGG.  The one I saw today might have been silver in color.  I don't recall it being black but it was thinner than the Topfire you guys found.  This should be a weekly game (scavenger hunt) people play and the winner gets a free CAB from Knievel! LOL!

I'll keep searching myself, really it's not that big of a deal but now I'm obsessed to find the damn thing.  Thanks for your help.

BTW, anyone use a compact topfire out there?  I want to know the difference in play.

Cheers!   :cheers:

Sorry horseboy, it's not the Happs compact although the one I saw is built like it but in a different color.  I just tried checking again and came up empty so I may have to wait again until late next week to get to that computer I saw it on at work.  Well, the bottom line is both topfires are compact so I'm still trying to figure out how the joysticks feel when playing games. 

Anyway, thanks for looking.
