Am I alone in thinking that the joystick Nintendo used on their old arcade games was basically perfect?



It's super short, clicky, and fits perfectly between your thumb and index/middle fingers. Did any other companies ever use a stick like this?

These were all metal, right? I know a lot of people praise all metal arcade joysticks.

I played a Frogger arcade machine and the joystick basically had no stick. REALLY good for making VERY quick movement in that game.

Anyway sorry for all the words;I don't really see too many MAME cabinets that don't say "JERRY'S ARCADE PARADISE" on them with Spiderman vs Link artwork on the sides,

Thank you for making a well done MAME Cabinet where the buttons aren't just randomly placed everywhere. It's SO refreshing to see a proper control layout.

Virtua Racing could have been pretty good on the Jaguar, though Atari would have no doubt hosed it up.

They did their own ripoff of Virtua Racing and if I recall it's a buggy mess. Or was that their Mario Kart ripoff?

Here are pics of my Mario Baby cart + box that was put out by some shop in Montreal (based off the area code for the phone number on the back), while pitching a Famiclone.

So it really WAS called "Mario Baby" in bootleg circles? I heard about this but never saw an actual picture.

Is there anything more depressing than an arcade machine with 1 joystick.

I mean most of em do unless it's a fighting game or co op.

What if I told you... some have NO joystick.

So over a decade ago I got an Amiga 500 and some extras for a ridiculous $7. I only tinkered with it a bit when I first got it and then stashed it away. In that time I lost the power brick and mouse, but someone hooked me up with both, and an RGB cable for my PVM, AND a Gotek USB Floppy Emulator to replace the (Still working) floppy so I can just put ADF files onto a USB and not deal with dying Floppies. (Although I DO collect FDS games cuz I'm an idiot)

Ever since I got my Amiga up and running I've realized how much I hate pushing up to jump. Some games actually let you use a Mega Drive controller and have B and C work. (BC Kid, Cool Spot and Joe & Mac let you use 2 buttons).
