Humanoid Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 It was a good day when peripheral designers decided that putting buttons on the stick itself would be a good idea. I miss somewhat the idea of joysticks that were *not* explicitly designed for flight sims. Like this classic Gravis: I can't see the Atari joystick being much good for anything these days, but something simple like the Gravis would lend itself pretty well to some gamestyles. 1 L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyrock Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) Bokishi has the same Thrustmaster Hotas-X flightstick I have. It's okay, I like it. It's no Saitek X52 (but nowhere near as expensive either), but it does the job.

LadyCrimson Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I can't see the Atari joystick being much good for anything these days, but something simple like the Gravis would lend itself pretty well to some gamestyles.Might still be usable if one has very limited hand mobility. The simple push motion and needing nothing else was why my dad could even play the Atari. But you'd have to make some other kind of adjustments as well now, because of gameplay/control changes over the ancient games. I'm guessing. “Things are as they are.

Yes it's decent, was just looking for an entry level stick to get me in the game, figured I'd be looking at the in-game sticks mostly Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyrock Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Here's where I stand in Jagged Alliance Flashback as of now The sectors with a green border are controlled by me. The sectors with a red border are controlled by The Prince. As you can see, I control over half the main island. The green marker with number 1 on it is my primary squad that does most of the fighting. They are highly skilled, well armored, and armed to the teeth. The marker with the 2 on it is my secondary squad that mostly just trains militia in my strategic locations. They are currently training militia at the outpost. The red triangles are enemy squads. As you can see there are lots of them south of my controlled areas. The little green squares are militia I trained, orange squares are veteran militia that have had combat experience and survived. The areas with the $ symbol on them are the primary money generating sectors. Other sectors generate money too but not nearly as much. My goal right now is to train a bunch of militia at the lighthouse before pushing west to take the enemy controlled sector there.
