Re: C64 Plug And Play Joystick
I noticed it didn`t have Commando on :cry: Used to have the same joystick on my C64 but mine was yellow instead of red. Killed my thumbs using it lol then upgrade to the quickshot turbo joystick. -
Re: C64 Plug And Play Joystick
Did I hear there was one that plays 'Paradroid' ? Sign me up!Their light of pocket torch, of signal flare,
Licks at the edge of unsuspected places,
While others scan, under an arc-lamp's glare,
Nursery, kitchen sink, or their own faces.

Re: C64 Plug And Play Joystick
I've had one of those for a few years now, it's based on the Competition Pro joystick which was one of the first "microswitch" joysticks.
Yes, it has my all time fave C64 game on - Paradroid, which can also be downloaded from the Wii marketplace if you have one of nintendo's consoles. Although the Wii emulation is not as good as the PnP one due to the collision detection being slightly off.
The UK release of those joysticks were very sought after (I thought they'd ceased production) as they had a specific chipset in which actually allowed you to modify it to turn it into a fully working mini C64 allowing you to run other C64 games on it.
Mine gets used a lot. But then again i am a C64 freak!

Re: C64 Plug And Play Joystick
I read about that recently too. Someone has managed (oh please don't be a mock up) to make a very portable C64 - think Gameboy Advance SP.Originally posted by Mulletino View PostI've had one of those for a few years now, it's based on the Competition Pro joystick which was one of the first "microswitch" joysticks.

Re: C64 Plug And Play Joystick
I was thinking of getting one of these, but they stopped selling them new at Amazon before I made up my mind, I might get one 2nd hand if I can find one at a decent price.The Trickster On The RoofComment

Re: C64 Plug And Play Joystick
I bought one but never got round to opening it up. And then I gave it away! Wish I hadn't now."Me fail English? That's unpossible!"Comment

Re: C64 Plug And Play Joystick
Excellent! I never had a C64, but will give this a bash.Originally posted by Sculpher View Post
I see it comes with eight games, but more can be downloaded in app at 59p. They have both Paradroid and my fave, Nebulus
