So I have a birthday coming up and a friend of mine built me a replica of the Obelisk controller for the 2600. Not sure if the thing was ever released or not. I saw it in the Christmas 83 ish of EG and always wanted one.

Anyway, I am looking for an arcade quality control (actual stick and buttons) with an extra long cord I can install in it. Goat Store used to sell such things, but does anyone else make them?

Here is a pic of the original. I'll post a pic of the one my friend built ASAP.

Also included is a pic of the style of stick I would like.

Seriously though, I like Groovy Game Gear...

You do know that if you are connecting to a PC will also need an I-PAC or something similar to encode the button and joystick to key presses, right? If you are going to a 2600 that is a whole other issue....

Also, the original has the classic red ball joystick.... I would totally get one of those instead of the all plastic "90's" stick. Just MHO.

I hate it when they don't counter-sink the screws!.


This is how it's done.
