I can't remember the name of the game but it was a Galaxian type shooter that allowed left and right angled shots by twisting the controller. But the shots were always at the same left or right angle. If you look closely at that stick you can see that there are only 2 switches. and they face the towards each other. Which would only make for 3 positions really, (SW1 on, neutral, and SW2 on).
I was thinking Astron Belt, but after checking the Klov entry I see its not that game. If I can come up with the name I will post it.
It does seem very similar to a Xybots controller. but Xybots controllers were leaf switch.
It could be just some operators hack at making a replacement controller for Xybots or something else?
