I found this weird controller at the Value Village (see pic below) it has 2 fire buttons and a huge ball on top of the joystick. It has a standard 9 pin connector like the Atari 2600. Does anyone know what system it was for, all I know is it is not a comfortable controller. Please help :)

well thats gotta be the most retarded joystick i've ever seen.. have you tried plugging it into anything? it could be atari, it looks like the buttons arent meant to be used at the same time, theyre probably for if youre left or right handed.

According to this (http://members.shaw.ca/pcollard/conrolrs.htm) site it's an Atari joystick, most likely the 2600.(scroll down near the bottom) That's the only site I found with it. The left/right handed idea seems feasible.

Value Village? Is that a thrift store in your area? I live in Minnesota and Value Village is one of the only good thrift stores that have any good video game stuff. But I see you are form Canada, so I was wondering if your Value Village was also a thrift store? Either way cool!
