How many Competition Pro Joysticks did Speedlink make?
« on: May 21, 2017, 01:26:09 AM »
How many Competition Pro Joysticks did Speedlink make? There's the classic red and black one, the gold limited edition one and the translucent blue usb one. I think the Mini one was made by another company or did Speedlink make it? Were there any other versions made by this company? Also was the model in the image below made by Kempston Micro Electronics in the 80's or did Speedlink make it? Thank you.

3
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Competition Pro 5000 was also made in numerous colour formats for an international football tournament.

I forget which tournament but it was in the 90s.

I still have my blue and white version and box representing Scotland.

I just saw the clear and red one by Speedlink. So this makes it 4 so far. Any more ones by this company you know of? Thanks.
