With its Oat. yellow plastic base, four soarawav red arrows and fire button, the Holdfast is a rare breed among Amiga compatible joy¬ sticks, Not a joystick, but a joy pad. the Holdfast was originally aimed at early learners but has found favour with many other users, particularly those with special needs.

What about this lot - five suction pads, four suspension springs and three fire buttons, [ found the Megastar raihcr cumber¬ some and the handle too stiff for quick manoeuvring.

What does it do? Well, it's a set of three footpedals. The switches in the middle of the unit configure the three foot pedals to act like any one of the directions of a standard joystick - up, down, fire and so on. This makes it useable with almost all racing games and night sims, and it's pretty good, too. Although it looks a bit flimsy, it stands up to a fa..."

Here's Nigel Mansell's Free Wheel (calm down, it's £29,99) which really makes you feel like you're driving, son of.

The name sug* gests that it's designed with flight/sub/tank sims in mind, hut il can he used for many different types of games, especially as it has an autofire option.

The Topstar has one of those fancy see-Lhrough bases where you can sec all it's delightful inner workings. Not only that, it has a shock absorbing suspension system as well which sort of moves slightly as you waggle. One interesting option is the player's stow motion switch which slows you down to 'improve the challenge*. Under no circum¬ stances attempt this when playing Sensible Soever.

The Arcade Joystick has one (only one?) firebutton, and not a particularly nice one at that It's quite a solid little unit but Ihc hall handle is a bit stiff and 1 found it a little difficult to manoeuvre in fiddly games. And at £24, if $ rather expensive for the limited features it offers. Steve Bradley, Amiga Format, August 1993"

Sounds like the son of thing the villains drove in Miami Vice , It's not though, it's a joystick and one with variable tension control on the stick. This ones got a rather nice turbo fine button which splays bullets all over the show (if Lhe game involves bullets of course).

A light, plastic affair with four fire buttons (the buttons on the base have rather flat feel to them), the 125+ is a cheap, user-friendly sort which won't make you gasp in amazement as you clutch its* yes you've guessed it, ‘ergonomically designed control handle'.

The GamePad offers two styles of control - llatpad and screw-in joystick Handle. Also, there is a switch which enables you to use the unit for either the right or left hand. There are four brightly coloured fire buttons, two which can he set in up or down mode, or in lurbo-fire. Guile a nice sei-up, though I'm not convinced about the lifespan of th..."
