Best: Quickshot II, definitely. That takes me back.

I have to assume the "arcade" stick portion will NOT be analog. Just making an analog stick that is taller won't be better. Surely they know that? Don't get me wrong analog is the best thing to happen to gaming but these games need simple on/off action to really get the feel. If it turns out right I may even put some cigarette burns on my console and dump a cup of chew spit on the carpet to fully re-create the experience!

I'm glad Mad Catz had a go at this, I just hope they do a pad that makes SF2 easier to to play.

Interesting design of this joystick, flip it on one side for different play and such. We'll find out in time what 2d games it'll play well with.

Perhaps the huge joystick bit is unscrewable, Horn.

Mmm...Quickshot 2 was groovy.

Wow, did we ALL own a Quickshot II? I loved how the Atari 2600 controllers worked on a Commodore 64 too. And yet I had so many controllers. This though, was my baby. I called her Joy. Clever eh?

I had one of those as well, alongside my Quickshot when I had (still have) my Amiga 500+. It wasn't that exact one though nor do I think it was that particular make - mine was black and had yellow buttons.

Pissed me off though that joy because I thought the buttons on either side, instead of just one side, was a bit of a poo idea. Well, not really... I enjoyed it but it still got on my proverbial tits.
