One of my Fav. joysticks as a kid

The most annoying thing with the cheetah bug is that I destroyed them in less than 2 weeks every time. My girlfriend at the time loved them however. I preferred something a little more durable as I played a lot of shoot-em-ups. I just wish I could remember the name of my favourite one, it had a square base with round bits on each corner and suction pads to hold it down. It was made of grey plastic with red buttons and had an auto-fire lock feature. If I remember the name of it I'll post it up.

Ah ha, found it via google, this is the one: http://www.richardlagendijk.nl/cip/joystick/item/quickjoy_sv-126/en

One of the very few controlers I owned that didn't die horribly within days of me getting it.

You too huh. Chaos Engine killed a few for me, my local computer shop took them back every couple of weeks but never complained, they still made a couple of quid on every one they sold, returned or not.

I used the Wico Ergostick with my Amigas back in the day.

what came first, the Wico or the Cheetah?
