Well, don't recall the name, but design was... Interesting...

I'll describe it...

Quite big handle, comfortable to hand, single fire button...

And on TOP of that handle, small 3-4cm stick, that's used to control!

So, the "lower" handle was used only for fire button & holding the
joystick...

Rather interesting design, but it also worked :-)

I recall another stick with rather similar design...

It just had one really BAD design flaw; It had no diagonals...

Under the stick, there was "+"-shaped hole, that prevented use of
diagonals... Whoever came up with such hideous idea... :-)

Now thinking of it, the design is a bit similar as in "Terminator"
-joystick (You know, the grenade shaped one) but more comfortable...
