Best joystick for Tron
falkensmaze:
Hello im thinking bout building a mame sys and was wanting to base it around a tron theme, barring the real deal what is the best joystick to play tron with and does it need to be 4 way? :cheers:http://

Best stick for playing in my opinion is probably the firetop prodigy. You can use the 4 way mode for the cycle game and the 8 way for the others. the top fire is needed for almost everything. The original was slightly restricted 8-way, as I have read here in the past.
An original might be worth while though if you want a real tron theme. Nothing like that blue light.

If you are playing the non-DOT part of Tron, then maybe you could get away with something else like a single-button top-fire stick.
But for Tron (DOT) ... my personal preference is the Heavy Duty 8-Way
Trigger Joystick. Bar none, the closest to the real-deal, and that is what you really care about especially when playing Discs of Tron.
Oh yea, and the spinner (of course) a Blackhawk Push/Pull from Apache Controls is a must.
Here are some links...

How does the Heavy Duty 8-Way Trigger Joystick hook up to the PC happ just says "easy to instal"?? :cheers:

To hookup the HAPP heavy duty flight stick, all you need to do is do a cutout in the wood so the thing can poke through from the top of the control panel. I then took 4 carriage bolts (thru top bracket down thru the mount and underneath the control panel surface use hex nuts to secure to the wood. Since this is a non-analog stick, it has 4 Microswitches and is easily hooked to your PC via iPac or some variant of a KB controller. Also has 2 top buttons and a fire button, all hook via same KB controller.
