Yeah... I had one of those a while back.  Mine wasn't marked Amiga in any way, though.  What on yours makes you think it was manufactured by Amiga?  (I might still have mine somewhere in the depths of my closet, but I think I sold it with a machine a few years ago.)

@TjLaZer-

Hmm... mine was blank on the stick, itself, other than the red "Power Stick" sticker.  

Seeing the close-up of that connector, though.  Yeah.  Come to think of it, mine did have the old-school pressed Amiga logo.  I just assumed someone illegally stamped a it to help market to Amiga owners.  Lots of joysticks were labelled with Atari or Commodore logos, yet weren't produced by them.  I never really thought about the fact Amiga, themselves, might have made it.  D'oh!  I might have given away a collectable for free with a fairly low-end system.  :-(  I thought their only other product WAS the Guru Meditator.  (Though, in hindsight, the joystick being the same colors should have tipped me off.)

I wonder if you've seen a joystick without wires, sticks at the side of a C64 and has passthorugh socket so you can still plug-in an extra joystick. Too bad I got no pics for that, though. I think it should go well using GEOS that time. It was nice but easily breaks. Slightest jerk would break the stick off. Wonder anyone here has seen one of those gems. Rare find.


Must be my unlucky day.  I had similiar one of those that matched my C64C.  It had a curly wire that went back to the joyport, and then had passthrough.  Sold it with my C64C back in 1991 -- it was glued to the case.  ;-)  I've never seen one that matched the brown breadbox C64, though.
