Charlie_ Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 I prefer the Coleco Gemini joystick. Dual Command is it called? You would think I'd know...I use one every day. :-p I'm still searching for a Y adapter that was inculded with the Gemini. The one that lets you plug in 4 sticks, to be used the correct way as paddles. If anyone has one for sale/trade please e-mail me.

RangerG Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 I keep thinking that it would be great to have a joystick/paddle in one so that Coleco gemini combo sounds nice. However, I found one once and it seemed so flimsy and cheap. Anyone try or use the Sears Video Arcade controllers? They are also a combo, but they look sturdier. How are they?

Adriana Posted May 8, 2002 Share Posted May 8, 2002 I think the combo sticks (both Gemini and Sears Arcade II) feel a bit flimsy. I prefer the rugged sturdiness of the classic Wico red bat joystick. I've got two that have been used for nearly 20 years, and they still work great! Supposedly, they used the same switches that arcade joysticks used. Built like a tank!

slapdash Posted May 9, 2002 Share Posted May 9, 2002 I think the "death stick" might be the Amiga PowerStick, or whatever it was called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krytol Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Picked up a Wico Boss at Goodwill for $0.49. Not perfect for every game, but I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquid_sky Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Ive never used that particular wico. My fave is the Wico command.. because soem games feel best with the button on your thumb on the stick, and others I do better at using the base button.

Bez Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 Tac-2 from Suncom, ´cause you can change hand for a while when you get numb. And the classic Atari stick for sheer elegance and style! /Bez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Piper Posted May 21, 2002 Share Posted May 21, 2002 I like the regular Atari joysticks best. They are the ones that i have that still work! I bought a pair of those gemsticks new in boxes from Ebay.YUCK!I dunno how they can come out of the boxes broke,but it happened. The diagnal controls are useless,like most 3rd party atari sticks I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarinvader Posted May 21, 2002 Author Share Posted May 21, 2002 I've started using my SMS pad full time. Easily the best control for Pac-Man, Stampede and (is indespensible) for Dragster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
