Dolt #1 Posted July 25, 2003 Hey, just got my hands on a MIB, wrapped in cellophane Mindscape Powerplayers joystick. I don't know if it works with an Atari 2600--the box says it's good with an Atari 800, ST, Commodore 64/128 and Amiga computer. I don't want to open the plastic, so does anyone know if theoretically it'd work with a 2600? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bobafett07728 #3 Posted July 25, 2003 I was under the assumption that any joystick compatible with the Commodore 64/128, can be used on the Atari 2600. If that is true, then you are good to go! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Room 34 #4 Posted July 25, 2003 Yes, that is correct. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dolt #5 Posted July 25, 2003 Thanks to all of you for the response. Funny thing--right after I posted the note, I started digging through the first issue of Atarian, one of the other nice items I got in this haul (and what a haul it is, but that's a different story). Right at the back is an ad for a store selling compatible joysticks, including (you guessed it) the Mindscape Powerplayer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Room 34 #6 Posted July 25, 2003 See... it's meant to be. Now plug that thing in and start playing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+SpiceWare #7 Posted July 25, 2003 joysticks for the Sega Genesis will work as well. I've got a couple w/rapid fire that I use. Only button B works for fire though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
