Anyone ever see one of these?

Recommended Posts

I actually have one. You can't see it in the ebay pic, but it also has rapid fire. Here is a picture of mine, so you can see it better:

Sorry, been a long time since I used them. If I call correctly the disk doesn't move at all when you press it, it's touch sensative

Oh, I see... it's Ipod Touch for ColecoVision! :lol:

The touch feature of the joystick works nicely, but what completely ruins it is the placement of the fire buttons, at the top. It's like you need three hands to use it: One to hold the controller, another to press directions on the directional pad, and a third hand to press the fire buttons. As a normal human with only two hands, I found the JoySensor to be completely unusable. If the fire buttons has been regular side buttons like those on the stock CV controllers, it would have been near-perfect.

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 4001323820321?ff3=2&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&item=400132382032&mpt=[CACHEBUSTER]

 

Basically, its an Intellivision controller for the Colecovision. Hmm.

 

I have one but you know I have never tried it once. After reading the other replies, it sounds like it perhaps its value is for collectibility but not for playability so I wont be pulling it out of storage soon.

Yes I like it, one of my subscribers was kind enough to send me a few Colecovision items, I was ecstatic about the 2600 module but you can see this Sensor Controller in this video and it is obvious I had never seen or owned one of these when I pull it out of the box in THIS Video (go right to 2min 50sec to avoid sitting through the whole thing) it was a nice surprise!
