I have an original Pacman joystick from a real Pacman game.  I really like this joystick as it plays Pacman just how I remember it.  Having said that, I think I like the Happ MsPacman/Galaga reunion joystick even better.  It does have mechanical restriction to the 4 directions.  If I were buying one or two "4-way only" sticks I would buy the reunion stick.

This is just my opinion, FWIW.

Thanks -- that's exactly what I was looking for. I'll order two of the Ms. Pacman sticks.

I prefer the reunion stick for normal 4-way action and the Happ Universal for Q*Bert.
