In fact, it would have been best to save up and get some other game computer (such as a TRS-80 color or a VIC-20). In addition, I'm not positive about the joysticks, but I believe that you are stuck with the 5-switch Atari type. However, if paddles are available, you might be able to rig up an X,Y joystick, read as the paddles. But as I said, I'm not positive. Hope I was of some help. Paul(sdcsvax!sdchema!pha)
