When did "joy" sticks become "fighting" sticks?

  @GoldLeader - The Dreamcast fighting sticks don't "only" work with fighting games. They work with anything that uses the d-pad, which is a wide variety of games. Blame developers for not incorporating d-pad support into all of their games.

  I thought "joystick" was a fighter pilot word, co-opted by video games in the Atari era. "Fighting Stick" seems more appropriate for an 8-way digital controller, while "joystick" seems like it should be reserved for a big handheld analog controller.
  
  Guess at first usage: HORI Fighting Stick. What did I win?

  When did UFOs become AATs? Advanced Aerospace Threats? I never once had a UFO drop a cow on me or shoot laser beams at my ass.
