Good brand of 2 button joysticks?

Competition Pro Joystick

When you absolutely positively have to kill every mofo in the room. Accept no substitute.

Also built like a damn tank. This model is the only joystick I could get that'd last me longer than 6 months. Pythons and similar for me would last maybe a fortnight at best.

The Competition Pro Joystick is not a 2-button joystick!

It has a bunch of buttons but they all do the exact same thing.  So it is worthless.

Yeah because having a robust joystick verses some wizz bang thing like the Python that'll last you all of two minutes in a frenzied game is totally worthless. :rolleyes:

If you want to lose every 2-button game you play then use a Competition Pro.  It makes the competition look professional!

You seriously need to chill out.

@runequester

I've played with dozens of variations on the Competition Pro style, some were two button, others 1 button (but multiples). Either way, as you're getting one for free give it a whirl, it might surprise you.

The best controller for the Amiga imho was the Hornby 360 (though good luck trying to find one of those now!). :razz:

OMG LOL!

They still sell them!

I wouldn`t say it was worthless

Ahh, sorry, my bad. I meant to imply (on the basis of what had been said about the comp pro) that having the el cheepo Python would be better than the supposedly "worthless" Comp pro. Apologies for the confusion.

They made a cheaper version which seemed to self destruct as you say.

Tbh they were the only ones I ever came across. One mad game and it was all over for them.

Still, I gotta say most joysticks were truly crap

Agreed.

if you wanted something to do the intricate stuff. SWOS really was the test and thats why I went over to the game pad. I may be retro but gaming is important and the gamepad is superior really. Wouldn`t use anything else now.

Which is whyI went over to the Hornby 360 Turbotouch in the end. Damn thing was near indestructible and nothing could touch it for responsiveness. Oh and you can still get them on Amazon, which shocked the hell out of me

I don`t suppose anyone has an update SWOS team for the 2010 World Cup.

I never really got into SWOS, though I did enjoy the earlier non management versions of the game.
