    I have two  of these, every  couple of months  I disassemble clean
and reassemble them so that they are once again  reliable. (I have two
kids, six and nine, and if these are working reliably they get lots of
hard use...)  There are some games that get used constantly when these
are  in working  order, but   forgotten  about  otherwise. (Attack and
Q-Bert on the TI99A, for  example) I agree  with everything said about
the Wico joysticks,  but  they are  not  in the  same league when  the
action gets fast and furious.

    Please, please Commodore (or   Amiga, or whoever has  the  rights)
make  some more  of   these joysticks.    I think  I   paid around  $9
originally and would gladly pay $20 now.
