Reviews

"Atari fans who prefer their basic joystick to the host of available razzle-dazzle "gourmet" controllers can now enjoy the feel of a high-priced arcade console – without giving out their OEM staple. The Stick Station, by Skywriter of Louisville, Kentucky, is a hardwood lap board designed specifically to house an Atari or a WICO joystick. At $14.95 apiece, it is an inexpensive way to dress up VCS Play"

"Your high scores will soar when you pop that Atari into a

"Stick Station." The instant freedom it delivers will eliminate hand cramps and wrist fatigue--two of the most common causes of the dreaded "low score syndrome."
