Despite being a nice joystick for Flight games...

... the "Chuck Norris" of joysticks for the Amiga/Atari/etc... imho is clearly the Tomahawk!





Anyone that had it back then... still has it and it's 100% operational without any issue not to mention it's solid like Thor's hammer (lol).

Before anyone would say that the buttons are opposite than you're used too, it wasn't for us Greeks (since Tomahawk is proudly a Greek joystick) that we used the fire on left hand and stick on right (all cabinets were made like that anyway here).

I've got one of these, I think it's a good competitor for that Tomahawk above.
It's definitely a manly Joystick there mate :D

Not to mention that along with Tomahawk you can use it as a weapon to smack someone's butt in case he leaves you dying in "Warzone" LOL

I never liked the Competition despite having 2 already.
My hand hurts after a quarter playing that never happened with the Tomahawk. It's really uncomfortable for my taste.

Playstation controllers connected to Amiga though are very cool (for a pad).
