If the Atari-type joy stick seen in the record store is a
black plastic pistol-grip type with a triangular joy stick/fire button
on the top, you'd be well advised to try it before you buy it.
I didn't, and I regret it. It's difficult to hold, control isn't
as positive as it is with Atari-made joy sticks, and the fire
button has a long travel, tends to change the position of whatever
is doing the firing on the screen, and often misfires. The shaft
of the joy stick is plastic and looks fragile, and with the way
some people lean into a joy stick, it probably won't last very long.
If these things don't bother you much, it's probably a fine buy.
