Nixzero Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Does anyone remember a controller like the one shown in the picture? (I'm hoping it uploads right...) It could fit in the palm of your hand, it was really small. Does anyone remember what it was called? May have been made for Amigas or Commodores. Thanks!!!

+Nathan Strum Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Would it be one of these? (From Electronic Games, September 1983) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 Defiantly looks like the Power Stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smf_4ever Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I have one of these.. yea.. power stick.. this thing ruled for certain games (track/decath).. You could waer a nice little hole in your palm as you tried to get the maximum side to side playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I had two of these controllers. Only thing good about them was the buttons required no pressure at all to activate. So they were good for games where you had to shoot a lot. But the diagonal directions were not good at all, almost impossible to find it correctly. It made Realsports Baseball unplayable. They also didn't have much durability. I think they lasted about a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic George 2K3 Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 I had the Amiga Powerstick for both the Atari 2600 and the ColecoVision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 I have had mine in working order since 83' Now that I think about it, I may have I helped my controllers to an early grave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixzero Posted February 13, 2004 Author Share Posted February 13, 2004 The Power-Stick! Yep, that's the one. You could play asteroids for a month solid without your hand gettig tired of mashing the shoot button. Would anyone like to sell me a pair? I don't need the pad with all the buttons. To be honest, I don't know what it's for. But, this would be an awesome welcoming gift to the forum. E-mail me at Dedsecksi1@aol.com if you want to strike up a deal. I live in Phoenix if you need to check out shipping prices. Thanks to all who can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susuwatari Posted February 14, 2004 Share Posted February 14, 2004 There's also a version for Ti-99 computers but it's 2 controller to a port and won't work on any non Ti-99 computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
