    That one looks very cheap but seems to have the same shape as a Comp Pro. And the Comp Pro was very reliable and solid.

    That was the shittiest joystick I ever used. The adjustment ranged from 'ridiculously stiff' through 'like bending a steel girder' to ' components completely encased in concrete'. Also very gay colours (even the name 'cruiser' has dodgy connotations).

    ZIPSTIK FTW.

    Hang on! I feel very stupid now. I have one of those Cruiser joysticks!

    In my defence I have a lot of joysticks for the Amiga (and compatible systems). Must be 30+ joysticks + gamepads. Over the years many have come with systems I've obtained or have been given. The one I have looks the same, but is plain black so none of the Amstrad/Fisher Price colouring.

    In that picture is does look a bit similar in shape to a Comp Pro, but actually it's quite different. The base is much long with the fire buttons a lot further forward and the joystick close to the back of the base.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!
