4-8 way Joystick Suggestions
Shape D.:
I'd agree with the t-sticks as well. Its a nice function to switch it in less than a second from the top of the cp. plus if you get the longer handles the throw feels a little longer.

Why use 4-ways?

An 8 works just fine as a 4-way... doesnt it?
I've never had problems guiding my Pacman thru
the maze, or hopping my little froggies to thier
home....
What am I missing about these 4-way joys?
Why would someone want these?
(those external swicthes on the outside of the
4/8 way joysticks are pretty ugly too, arent they?)
...you know.. maybe I shouldnt have asked this, cause once
you tell me... I'm probably going to have to have them too!! haha

The only reason you aren't having any problems is because you have never used the correct sticks. Most people used to using the correct sticks CAN'T play the games using the wrong sticks.
Try playing Super Zola Pac-Gal with an 8-way, you'll come away crying!!
The 4-way games don't know what to do with the diagonal movements, this is more apparent in some games then others. Slow Pac-Man if you aren't a serious player will work with an 8-way, as for the high speed 4-way games, nope, nope, nope.

You just don't know what you're missing is all.
It's like people saying "why should my car be a stick-shift? Automatic is just fine. I don't see a problem". While anyone who has a car with balls wouldn't tolerate anything but a stick shift.

okay.. I'm not convinced.
I'll stick with the 8-ways. ;)
