I've never heard of the Amiga only have one button joysticks?? We always had 2 button joysticks and used them for different functions.

The C64c I had, had only one button joysticks/paddles... I do remember that.

As for games I had 100's of games for the Amiga, too many to remember what I had. There were new games coming out all the time.

The only thing that annoyed me back then was not being able to afford the hardware upgrades being a kid money came via pocket money :D

ppl in the states must have been delt the short end of the stick, excuse my pun... we had joysticks like the Competition Pro which was 2 button and the Quickshot with two buttons.. although the Quickshot tend to snap after awhile.

The CD32 controller was good to, it had 4 or 5 buttons from what I can remember that could be used or assigned. Was great for playing SF2 or Body Blows.

I miss the software get together weekends were we went through 2 to 3 boxes of blank disks making "backups" :D and watching demo's... what the Amiga was really good at.

Hmm, starting to want to buy one again, must resist.
