CONTROLS

It was just like Christmas when my package arrived from Happ Controls. Of course a good many hours were spent mindlessly clicking buttons and twirling joysticks before I even put a panel together, but you know, it just had to be done. A combination of Happ's Super Joysticks and a stack of their horizontal microswitch buttons isn't exactly a radical approach, but it should do the job. Six game buttons per player plus assorted buttons to run MAME will keep me happy for now. Or at least it will until I decide that my life isn't complete without a trackball for Missile Command or a double joystick setup for Battlezone.... or Crazy Climber. That game still weirds me out, but I digress....

Super joystick and 6 player 1 game buttons are also visible.
Player 2 also has 6 buttons, but I haven't got any games that need that many..
