If you use eBay, there is an auction for a Bruce Lee cartridge going on right now:

 

Bruce Lee

 

davidcalgary29 mentioned the seller before as being a very good person to deal with and a regular here on the boards.

 

Mendon

 

Yes, that's one of Nir's auctions. I believe that he made this one himself from a ROM image, but his carts are of excellent quality (though beware if you're using a 130XE). He will also sell you his spares of the rarer commercial releases, so he's a good person to ask if you're looking for "Frogger II" or "Crossfire" on cart. :)

There already exists and adapter to run Atari joysticks on a PC (for emulators or anything else).  Check www.pccompetitor.com.    

Anyway, I'd be interested to see what Sunmark comes up with.

 

I went to the website, and it shows the price is 34.90 EUR. I'm not terribly "UP" on the exchange rate to US dollars, but I'm guessing it's around $45.

I'd be more interested in buying such a device from Sunmark. They are in my home country and I've done business with them in the past. I'd save on shipping, and maybe (if we're all lucky) it'd be a bit cheaper.

For what it's worth, the PC Competitor (www.pccompetitor.com) is very well made. It's a good design – long cable, well made, which I keep plugged into the game port (or USB adapter) at all times. I had considered trying to reroute the cable through the front of my case so I could just plug Atari joysticks directly into the computer, but the long cable is more convenient for my setup. Atari joystick cables are kinda short.

 

By the way, I don't have any affiliation with PC Competitor. I just think it's a good product (if a bit expensive) that helps me relive my 8-bit days. (I sometimes use an xbox controller on my PC too – not sure what that’s helping me relive.)
