Cheers,

not possible.
But I get your point, do you care or not care about the "experience".

Setabs:
Can you clarify the second and third?

is accurate like the ball top control for galaga.
because how I remember would be the same.

ie.  using a competition joystick can get the job done playing pac-man but it is not how i remember pac-man nor an accurate control.

what i am saying is I play games because there fun.  I have a street fighter cp made out of cardboard so I can get a closer feel of how the games where originally played.  Its better than playing w/ a keyboard.  But its not an accurate set up for galaga.  But its still better than a keyboard.

I understand the dilemma you present, especially since I've used my competition joys on Pac-Man with success, but I also wouldn't call it an "accurate control," since once in a while it would go the wrong way when I would hit a diagonal.  If you want a real 4-way for Pac-Man and the like, vote for #3.  If you really don't care about the "real" feeling and absolute perfection with the diagonal issue or you would consider getting a 49-way with RandyT's Digital Restrictor, although that isn't like the original physically restricted joy, vote for #2. 

I hope that clears it up. 

Maybe only few people vote because there are no ideal choices in life, always a trade-off or two.

Cheers,

SirPoonga:
you ean accurate as in having leaf buttons for games that used leaf versus micros for ones that had micros.

I don't think people will have both on.  The people who put leafs on are the ones that want their childhood experience and remember a couple of specific games they liked that had leafs.

Example, I prefer micros because I remember the clicks from when I was a kid.

Whoa, do you have a pic?  Did I miss that in Project Announcements?  I assume you mean the heavy duty cardboard?  I'm really interested, although obviously you couldn't play a pounding game like Track and Field.  It sounds to me like you could be #2 or #5.
