Joystick - are you still at it?

Postby Alexandoy » 12 Aug 2015, 02:16

Is anybody here still using the joystick? I have noticed when the Gameboy got popular, the arrow keys are being used. So what happened to the joystick of the olden times?

I do not use joystick, but I use a gamepad to play some games. I love to play some old games (NES) as Tetris, james pond, snow bross, pacman ...
On my old computer I had a joystick but I think nowadays it is rarely in use ... only for pleople who plays aircraft simulators, I think.

What is the joystick? I have never heard of it. Is that a controller or something? Where do you use this thing? Sorry I'm a gamer but never heard of joystick. Are you meaning to say joystick for N64? I think the controller is called joystick.

I use it to play some games with joystick but i like keyboard/mouse better, but again it depends on the game.

Man... That was a long time ago. I was still a little kid but I remember having one and watching my brother playing games with it.
I believe this was the one we had:

It was a big deal back then.

Those kind of joysticks i think only retro gamers that like to play on old game systems like the Commodore Amiga or people that like to planes/flights simulators use them.
However lots of people that like fighting games use arcade sticks controllers which is kinda like of the same "family" :mrgreen:
Arcade Sticks are also good to play those arcade games that you can play by emulators like MAME

Hi Friends,

I have seen the joy sticks but not used it till now. Now joysticks are out of date. When we have a shop on those days we are selling the video games there I saw the joy sticks.
