Skyo, lol, read my initial post. That joystick is of the "jet fighter" variety. And why do I get the distinct impression you could better comprehend my second post (w/all the numbers) than you could the first one (in English)!?

THis one is cheap, but closest thing to a "joystick" that is entirely handheld since the old atari jobs (that I could find anyways). I wanted it for activisions anthology (80 classics less than TEN BUCKS!)- I got it purely for Demon Attack- funnest game ever on the 2600 system. But also has lots of other popular ones (pitfall, pfII, kaboom, river raid, - and activision was easily the best third party game maker). http://www.nothingbutsoftware.com/ca...e=32115&ai=596

Between that and a plug and play or two, you can have your Atari emulation covered. Breakout is a must have- its so simple the rules and object of the game are apparent by just looking at a screen shot. But the action is subtle- there is a learning curve for the strategy. Once you can get going at full speed, it seriously makes crazy rhythms and melodies (no music otherwise), addictive. Breakout was originally played on "paddle controllers", and you can get a plug and play paddle w/Brkout on it, but I recommend the 10 in 1 joystick plug and play- has breakout, AND Adventure (layed the way for Zeldas and all games of this type to follow-overhead view adventure game- definitely worth checking out). Don't get them from this site though- they are fifteen bucks at walmart. Well worth it. Check it out! http://bizrate.lycos.com/buy/product...-14010700.html



Especially to teenagers who might have never played a system with less than ten buttons on the controller. Of course xbox, psII, and even the portables are not even in the same league, but these are clean, classic, simple fun games.
you must not be able to read as i cant read either and it looks like neither can you
