Blackjack #1 Posted September 5, 2004 Anyone know what this joystick is? On the bottom is a battery compartment, but I can't get it open (think it's fake). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sku_u #2 Posted September 5, 2004 Anyone know what this joystick is? On the bottom is a battery compartment, but I can't get it open (think it's fake). I have a pair of those as well, as does Kepone. We have it pictured in our rarity guide at gamerzuniverse: http://www.gamerzuniverse.net/atari/Atari%...guide%20U-Z.htm As of yet, we haven't been able to determine who the manufacturer is. Here's a closeup of the bottom one of the controllers that does have the labels still on them confirming that this controller was made with the 2600 in mind: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atari Rescue Group #3 Posted September 5, 2004 The battery hatch is likely because that design was probably used as a wireless/remote controller in some other lifeform of that design. The battery isn't needed in yours. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bjk7382 #5 Posted September 5, 2004 I had three of those at one point. All of the wires got robbed off of them and put on nes controllers I think I threw the plastic joystick parts away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveW #7 Posted September 5, 2004 I've got one of those somewhere. After I couldn't get that stupid battery door open, I took it apart to see what was behind that door. Nothing, of course. No wiring for a battery at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
