Atari Computer Joystick...

[Clint Thompson]

This thing is absolutely sweet looking! Does anyone know if this is a mod

or where I can get one of these babies at?

 

Thanks...

Hi,

 

that's a VERY good joystick I've two of them (the one is chrome-blue and the other is red-transparent). They're named CompetitionPro Mini . Inside they have no standard contacts, but micro-switches - very exact.

 

Bye

2 of them?! 1 Red and 1 Blue? I want both! (with the chrome buttons!

Anywhere I can get these?

 

Also, do you know where I can find a pic of the red one?

(or maybe you can upload one here?

That's factory, not modded. Try http://www.amigajoysticks.co.uk and look for Competition Pro. It's a great joystick, and was even re-badged, look here: http://www.myatari.org/issues/sep2002/megaste3.htm

The one in the original photo is a full-size Competition Pro 5000, not Mini. I took that photo. Agreed, it's a great joystick, and there were versions with auto-fire and different colour schemes.

Cool stuff!

 

Well, I think I like the blue one best with the Chrome buttons (that's modded right?)

 

Anyone wanna sell me 1 or 2?

Clint,

 

I have a spare (or 2) Competition Pro Joystick if you want it.

 

Not sure if they still work (easily fixed), and you can customise them to your hearts content!

 

Send me a private message or e-mail with your address and I'll send you one for Xmas!

No, as I said earlier, that's factory, not modded. However, beware that any kind of cosmetic coating, be it chrome or paint, is less durable than coloured plastic "all the way through". On something like a joystick, you'd probably want something durable over prettiness, unless you're just going to look at it! Speaking of decoration, I'm just working on an Atari modding project now, pics later...
