I've had an ATARI 800 myself and went through 8-10 of their joysticks.  I reall
y liked those things.  I've used the Slik sticks and the two Wico joysticks, bu
t they weren't as good.  However, on IBM sim's I was not comfortable with any o
f the Kraft III series or Ergo Stick,     my responses improved remarkably when
 I used the Gravis Mk4 and the CH Flightstick.  Their pistol grip design can re
ally give you an advantage in both feel and response for sim's.  For arcade typ
e games the foam grip of the Gravis is easy on your hands, but the CH Flightsti
ck becomes very awkward.
