Ooops ! I misprinted a fact :)
'the galaga at the store was a happ 8 way!' (not 4 way)
Anyway, needless to say - 4 ways arnt limited by a top plate. Its the actual joystick mechanism that would have to do it else there would be friction and metal shavings as it wore.
(and I do not remember any 4 ways with special limiting housings - too much wear would kill them)
