If not, I don't think I'll even buy one to compare. I think that rubber feel is the key ingredient to a stick feeling like a Pac-Man stick. |

Terry is only offering a cheaper alternative, but it feels nothing like the real thing (no rubber grommet, microswitches instead of leafswitches). |

No stick can compare to the original ms pac, no doubt about that and I doubt ever will. A Wico if you can find an old stock one, still doesnt have that feel. The reason why most sticks dont work with all pac man games is because of the way the program is written. Most all games, like 99.9% will recognise the next switch engaged. Pacman programs do not recognise the next switch until the last switch is disengaged and will ignore all switches until the first one in line is released. This is why you miss turns with any regular 4 way or a Super stick or heaven forbid an 8 way. Terry |

In the 'Games for Sale' 'section', his addy is listed as TERSHAN@1SCOM.NET. --- End quote --- Yes its quite rough, it was my first try at web building and was over 10 years ago LOL! Admin if you would be so kind as to put a sticky note on this so everyone has the address/phone. Thanks www.tornadoterrys.com/surplus.htm 817-431-6121 |
