Not exactly a game name but..

stainy · 16 October 2008, 10:37

I`m after a name/manufacturer of a joystick.. that a mate of mine has...
I`ll describe it..

A normal 9 pin d type.. lead... the joystick is just the handheld part... no suckers.. no base... so I`m guessing it`s either mercury switches or some sort of pendulum thing... it`s black and red ( usual ) ..

ANyone have any ideas??

Actually I have a pic
Pic1

and another

Pic2

How can someone play platform games with this thing?

DH · 16 October 2008, 11:24

I remember them, didn't have one but I'm sure my mate did. Have to get in touch with him to see if he knows the name & manufacturer

Could this be a newer model?

http://www.aositilt.com/Joystick.htm Hmmm. Sounds interesting

Edit: Check this out quote "Baseless Joystick has no moving parts, very light and may be shaped in many user-friendly shapes" Ooooh! Excellent for the pervs I guess

Yes true, but maybe these were the original manufacturers?

Somewhere in their archives could be the one you're looking for. Maybe you should contact them and see. It may be worth a try

they may be able to point you to the original manufacturers of the one you're looking for.

My brother and i had one of those joysticks, it's using mercury iirc. And it was pretty useless in platformers as you couldn't really stand still.

I think it was sold with a base but you obviously didn't need to use it.

Thank you for information. What about auto-centering?

Ok I have it now.. I will test it tonight.. only thing I can add.. is that it has 'Made in West Germany' on it 0_o

It's almost like some precursor of the nun-chuck
