Any analog joysticks for the Atari 2600?

[+else]

Just an odd thought....

 

Given that each controller port has two analog inputs, I'm curious if there were ever any analog joysticks made for the Atari 2600? And there were no games that supported an analog joystick, right?

 

Even if there weren't any analog joysticks made specifically for the Atari 2600, are there any that are pin-compatible with it?

It could be done, probably. The drawing tablet for the Atari 400/800 could probably be plugged in as that used the pot lines for X/Y.

I have a homemade adapter that I can use to plug an Atari 5200 joystick into a 2600. I use it to play Marble Craze with a joystick. The only problem it has right now is that I have to hold the joystick rotated 90 degrees to get the joystick motions to match the movement of the ball on the screen. I need to come up with a circuit that will invert the analog signal along one axis so I can hold the stick the right way. Its just been "good enough" for me not to bother with it so far.

 

Cheers!
