Hi,
Has anyone ever made an arcade like quality joystick for the Colecovision? I can picture a joystick similar to the ones Curt had at his Colecovision Kiosk at last years Philly Classic 3. I'm not sure if it was there this year as I couldn't attend this years show. I still feel sick about that. :( Anyhow, if anyone knows of any arcade like joysticks for the Colecovision please let me know.

Thanks

PS: I'm also interested in knowing about Arcade Like Joysticks for the Intellivision and Atari 5200 if they exist.

none to date, except for a handful of homemade jobbies...
i hope to figure out some way to make a dozen or so by this time next year.. god knows the CV could use some

I was working on such a device a few months back, but I figured it would be too expensive to ship them to US...

You could either buy a DC/GC/PS etc.. fighting/arcade stick and wire it yourself or get a stick like this for Genesis, C-64 and connect it to the CV using a DB9 Y cable.

i think i tried the genesis set up and it does not work.
if you can settle for one fire button try the competition pro for the 2600- i got one last weekend and it kicks ass
