Cool!!!

It's always fun to be using vintage hardware!

Makes me wonder why nobody (Amstrad, are you listening?!) has made a Spectrum-in-a-joystick yet, as the innards are so much simpler than a C64...

I would imagine it's because the games look (and sound)  like crap in comparison to C64 and Megadrive joysticks etc.

they have done atari 2600/vcs joystick game things too. surely speccy is better than that!?


Atari is a well known brand the world over.  Spectrum is well known in the UK the most, maybe Russia.

Marketing sorts would shudder at such a limited market I guess.
