    List of games is pretty much irrelevant, although handy having some games come with it, the majority if not all C64 games are now in the public domain anyway. Impossible Mission is an essential addition thats not in the game pack!
    The Joystick though at this price is essential for PC Emulators of 8 and 16 bit gaming!

    Looks good, though for those who not bothered about the joystick there are plenty of free emulators and roms (do a google search) for all of the classic 8 bit computers Acorn/BBC, Amstrad, C64/128 and spectrums etc..,

    True, but the main point of this is the price point of a USB Joystick I have not seen one this low priced at just a tenner, especially of this quality.

    To get a proper experience of playing these retro classics, especially C64 owners keyboard controls just don't cut it, the majority of C64 and Amiga games were Joystick control only..trying to play them with a keyboard just doesn't work the same in emulation. Not like with the Spectrum and BBC whereby the majority of games were designed with the keyboard in mind and the kempston joystick interface as more of an afterthought.

    Just try playing Sensible Soccer on the Amiga Emulator WinUAE with the keyboard, you would be frustrated in minutes.

    Funny you should say that as I play the pc version of sensible soccer with keys (I did own an amiga 600/1200 and CD32/SX1 expanison) !!

    Anyway I didn't vote cold and totally understand what you mean, I must admit forgotten how joysticks feel.

    For my retro gaming I've been using a ps1 pad which I use with my sega/nintendo emulators or my N64 pad for playing Wrestling on N64 emulator.

    Anyway everyone enjoy your retro gaming : - )

    I mentioned the emulators for another deal on here a while back just so those who cant afford those megadrive/snes or others emulators and dont mind playing with keys can hunt them down for free.

    Guys, it doesn't really matter what games it comes with, at the end of the day you can download from plenty of sites C64 tape or disk images for pretty much any game/demo/application that was made for it.

    I guess the most important thing is its an easy way to get an old skool digital joystick working with any emulator for playing the old C64/Atari 8 Bit/Amiga/ST classics.
