Ohhh....man.....If you play doom, fly a plane in a flight simulator, or guide your way in a chopper game, you'll need a joystick that performs numerous functions. If this is your idea of a versatile joystick, then you better stick to pac-man. Regardless of the fact that this is a 5 function joystick (up, down, left , right and fire), I gave it a fair test. It failed. I had to pullup in a plane and dove into the control tower in my flight simulator.Responsive ? NO. Not at all. It is a 15 dollar doorstop with a wire hanging out. Read the gaming magazines and you'll find that this thing isn't even listed under surplus junk. Spend 60 bucks and get a pro-stick which feels like the real thing.. Give this old baby to grandpa and he'll cherish the fond memories of the games he used to play on his VIC 20.

Organ Grinder Fights Pet Monkey and loses Montgomery - A 60 year old organ grinder met his match when he engaged his monkey in a dispute over the division of earnings. Philippe Charleone had been grinding the old organ on the corner of 54th and main with Panko, the begging monkey. Last week, Philippe decided that, since his 22 year old organ needed refurbishing, he was entitled to 10 % more money from the tin cup Panko carried. Panko strongly disagreed, and savagely attacked the old man as he was counting the loose change. The two fought a one sided struggle and Panko eventually stood victorious. Says the organ grinder -" I can't play an organ without the b flat key and an untuned c sharp...what will the people think ? "....The monkey has since been examined for rabies, and it is questionable whether the team will work the streets again. |
