In Reply to: 4 way joysticks... do i REALLY need one? posted by Chris on February 15, 2002 at 12:42:00:

Chris,
I concur with the others that recommend the Oscar restrictor plates. I have tried many alternatives. I started with Super 8's. Flipping the actuator is useless. I then went to a dedicated 4-way. It was OK. I then went to a Suzo 500 4/8 way joystick. It was pretty good for 4-way games but I really disliked it for 8-way games. It had a square pattern when in 8 way mode. I really preferred the Happ Super 8's for 8-way. I eventually gave the Oscar restrictor plates a try. They are awesome. I get to use my favorite joystick (Super 8) as a 4/8 way. On my first use I played Ms. Pacman and I shattered my previous high score.
