Classic Game Room - ATARI 7800 JOYSTICK CONTROLLER review
  • 12 years ago
Classic Game Room HD reviews one of the worst controllers ever made, the Atari 7800 joystick controller. Wow! This sucks. This is what happens when you design a controller on paper and never actually play the thing to see how it works. Granted it has an awesome chrome styled stainless steel ATARI emblem on it, but that's about all it has going for it. This joystick for the Atari 7800 Prosystem is terrible and CGRHD shows you why. Odd design, poor button placement and crappy joystick action result in the losing joystick for a winning game console. If you play Atari 7800 what you need to get is the Atari 7800 gamepad from Europe or Australia, not this thing. Yes it works for games like Ballblazer, Karateka and Ninja Golf... but so goes the Sega Genesis controller, so just use it instead. Fortunately this does NOT work for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PS3, Wii or Magnavox Odyssey 2 retro classic old school arcade video game systems. This review is dope.
