Lines: 18 Try a WICO brand "Command Control" joystick. They're built like the proverbial brick shithouse. I've been using a couple of them for nearly 5 years now, first with my C64s and then with Amigas. VERY solid construction throughout. The handle is BIG and there's a fire button at its top as well as another on the base and the buttons are switch- selectable. They provide a nice long cord too so you can sit back and relax while you're blasting them aliens :-) WICO has, I believe, a lower (budget?) line of sticks. Avoid those. Stick to the Command Control bunch - they're all red and black colored. Like the man from your childhood says "It costs a little more but it does SO MUCH more!" disclaimer: I don't work for [blah blah etc. etc.] Harv Laser, Sysop, The People/Link AmigaZone.
