I got a Star-Cursor 3 button stick that's targeted as a "general" stick, rather
than being aimed at certain systems.  It has a switch allowing you to select
1, 2 or 3 button operation (anyone know of any 3 button games for amiga?  Is it
even possible?).  Robust as hell (comes with 3-year warranty) and has
microswitches throughout, as well as suction cups on the base.  Costs about A$60,
but well worth it if you want a good joystick.

Cheers, Elson
