These looked good at the time and I had som US$ sitting in paypal so I bought 2 of them. They are NOS from the 80s i think.. The pictures don't look that good but they are in A! brand new condition. What are they specifically good for? I thought of mounting both on one CP so I could play some tank games etc. Maybe with a spinner in between for tron etc. I need advice, jibes, resented remarks to inspire me. BTW shipping from the states was charged at US$92 (doh). They weigh a ton each!! |

Yeah I bought one as well. More just to have on the shelf for a future project than anything else. I guess you could use it for Tron but it's an 8-way stick so the diagonals might give you problems in the light cycles. They are a nice stick and very well constructed though. I'm sure it would work well for flight games. Encryptor |

It may or may not be good for flight games; most of them used analog sticks. For a good list, look at controls.dat for the x-way triggersticks. To list few games that probably will work well: Zaxxon Tron ("4-way") Xenophobe Vindicators (dual 2-way vertical) Assault (dual 4-way) Total Carnage (dual 8-way) Also, it looks like happs is selling basically the same sticks, in trigger only, 1 button, and 2 buttons models. Probably for a little more than you paid, though. ;) |

BTW, these were for a MACH 3 game (which you can run with the laserdisc background using daphne) http://www.mameworld.net/maws/img/cpanel/mach3.png |

That and US vs THEM. (Same manufacturer, I think.) And Cobra Command, though I think it used a one-button version. Another game is Satan's Hollow. OH, and Gorf. And, yes, Happ is selling them for MUCH more, though I only see the one-button version over there. |
