Title: Please help me find the name of this joystick!
Post by: acherion on February 11, 2008, 02:40:43 AM

Hey everyone,

I remember many many years ago when the Amiga was still in popular use, an old family friend who had an A2000 had a joystick that had a plastic cover on the top fire button that could be popped open or 'ejected' through the use of an extra button. Kinda simulates a missile switch of some sort.

I can't remember for the life of me what model it is though (I am going to scour eBay for a few months and hope someone somewhere in the world is putting one up for auction), would anyone know what I am talking about?

I would like to get one for nostalgic issues (and thought it would be fun to play ATF II with it), for some reason I am thinking it could be a QuickShot model, but I could be mistaken since the only joysticks I've ever had were Quickshots.

Or if you know of another joystick with a similar novelty (gimmick?) please let me know!

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

I'm 99% certain you are right about it being a QuickShot, just can't remember the name of it. Will do some googling later to see if I can come up with something.


Edit...There you go... (http://svi.s31.pl/quickshot.html)

Quickshot QS-150 I believe is the joystick I was looking for.
