Yes, I have seen that once. I was on a web page for sale, the price was 90$ for a new one. I cant really remember the Webpage but I know it was run by a korean that loved Neo-Geo.

Well, well.

Now I haven't seen one of those fellas for a while.

The Apollo joystick was the stick that used to be offered with with the Supergun back in the early '90's.

It really is a good bit of kit from what I remember - like using a chunk of arcade machine in your home, a bit like the DC arcade stick.

Didn't realise it was compatible with all those other systems... what a neat idea. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

Heh, they seem cool, but I didnt like the feel at all. I messed with one recently at a members house and it wasnt very comfy and the buttons are not good for fighters. Felt kind of cheap IMO... cool idea though.

Yeah, I remember these sticks. As soon as I decided to buy a supergun, everyone stopped using these sticks and decided to give away converted MD pads instead.. <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0">

I don't remember the buttons being that far apart though.. my memory must be going <IMG SRC="smilies/tongue.gif" border="0">

well I did not have that peticular one however it looks alot like the super stick I own. I ended up gutting it and replacing all the parts in it. Now I love it. but before the stick used those butterfly switches in them instead of the button switches. The stick was also a little loose.

I ordered one way back in the day from the now defunct Die Hard Game Club (which became the breeding ground for Game Fan.) It was ok, obviously much better than a pad for fighting games, but eventually I got some MAS sticks and ended up selling that thing locally. Wouldnt pay too much for it.
