Tron Atari 2600 Joystick..anyone own one.?
I'm not sure it's really for the 2600..
I've been looking for one of these for awhile..ever since I saw one at Software etc for $5.00..it said for Atari 2600.
I turned my head for a second at the store and it was gone..
Someone bought it while I wasn't paying attention... -_- >:(
I think Joe has one..It looks like it's next to his Adventurevision in his Game Room pictures....Yes?
Does this stick light up or anything?

I've got it, and it's still in that same exact spot!
It's the coolest LOOKING stick I've ever seen. Very retro and very authentic, it looks like the handle from the coin-op Discs of Tron or Tron. The base is circular with suction cups and the cord actually wraps around from the inside (retractable). It doesn't light up but it's opaque so it almost looks like you can see through it. Really cool. You should be able to find another one if you look for it.

i've got one, its my favorite 2600 stick for looks. the same company also made a black non-tron version of this stick (plug-one for trade). its a good heavy feeling stick, not cheap like you would think for a pack-in promo.

That was one of the best crash-era finds of mine... A local store had the package with the stick and both Tron games for only $5 (maybe $10?). You bet I grabbed one. Should have grabbed them all, but I didn't have any money then really.

I did man..I really did.. :D I was so pissed off..My wife was trailing behind me..and I turned to look for her,before I went to the counter...
When looked again to show her..it was gone..
I asked the sales clerk..and he said I just sold it.I ran out the store to see if I could catch who bought it...but he was gone...
Oh...man..I was veruy upset...I've been looking for one ever since..
Now if I see something I grab it quick...
Last week..I went to the flea market and found a pile of Atari /Genesis boxed games and a boxed Wonder Wizard Bulls Eye system....
My wife was looking at stuff on another table....she likes to see the stuff I find and how I find it..She's into the hunt.
I wasn't waiting for her..I grabbed everything into a pile and offered the guy $15.00 for it.
Just as he accepted and bagged all of it..Someone offered him $3.00 a piece for the 12/13 Atari games I just got..
He counted what he was losing as he bagged it..as he kept asking do you want this too..and this,
He looked at me bent but a deal is a deal..
LOL..The "Girl" who offered him the money started yelling at her mother for taking so long...Her mother kept saying .."Wait for me"
She was pissed..and proceded to grab stuff that I was hovered over..in a pile after I paid for it.
I would of let her have them..but I didn't like the way she tried to snatch stuff from my pile after I paid for the stuff...and as he was bagging it...or the fact that she tried to step over me.
She had a bad attitude..and went home empty handed. :D
I have to find one of those sticks..

Got one on Ebay for 15 bucks. I might have paid too much, but it was on my most wanted list.
