HAPPs Joystick with Fire Button?

Posted by bill connolly on 28, 2000 at 11:51 AM:

I am thinking of getting the HAPPs Fire Button Compact Joystick for $25 and replace the right ultimate joystick on my control panel with this one. I should be able to still use this stick as a regular 8 way stick for games like robotron, 2 player simultaneous Tetris, etc, right?. And I would have the added benefit of being able to use it as the right track in battlezone with the fire button on the stick. I could also use it for a makeshift tron stick with a fire button. I am sure there are others.

Has anybody done this or does anyone have any comments? How does it feel using a Fire Button Compact Joystick for games that usually have a bat handle or ball handle joystick?

Thanks.

    • One major difference. When you use bat or ball joys you grip them at the top but with one of these you'd have to grip on the side, like a flight stick. AD 8/31/2000 (0)
