What joystick(s) should I get?
spauldingd:
I need advice. I'm building a cab that will split duty between my favorite classic games and some of the new PC games I enjoy. 80% of the classics would require a simple 4-way. And I would really like to have a pair of them for my favorite 2-player Joust.
I've thought of having 2 8-way and a single 4-way like most people have, but I really would like 2 4-ways. Are the 4/8 way switchable sticks the way to go? Are they easy to switch? Which one would work best for me?
I look forward to any suggestions on the stick I should buy. The wife is a huge Ms. Pac Man nut (aren't they all?) so I must have the dedicated or easily switchable 4-way stick for her.
Nailz:
Yep, teh 4/8 ways are the way to go man. Sounds like you guys like the the older stuff, so I'd recommend going with the Ultimarc T-stick Plus with the ball tops. From what everyone says, they are easy to switch and the ball top retains that classic joystick look.
Plua, with only needing 2 sticks, you will have room for that spinner and trackball you know you want. :)

Thanks Nailz, we definately like the old stuff. 1984 was when I played the most and seem to come back to now. Joust & Dig Dug, what else do you need?
Apollo:
How about a dedicated 8 way on the left ( Happs competition? ) a MsPac/Galag 4 way in the middle and a switchable 8/4 way on the left?
Doc-:
I have a nice cabinet with Ultimate joysticks, but I want to add a 4 way dedicated joystick to it.
I did a search, but did not find any opinions on which 4 way joystick was the best.
Does anyone have an opinion on which 4 way dedicated joystick would be best for games like pac-man, frogger, etc?
