"The first th i ng t hat's

noticeable is the springy feel oft he stick. lt has just the right amount of travel for a good bash at virtually any fast- paced arcade game and the fire-button perched on top o f the shaft is in easy reach of the thumb. Also, two buttons on the base of the machine, and the left one of these alters the rate of autofire by turning it clockwise or anticlockwise. Strangely, though. the base and stick buttons cannot oper- ate at the same time. The long thin shaft means you can easily wrap all four fin- gers around it , but the cord l ength is a poor four foot long. The shaft's microswitches give a positive feedback to movement. but the leaf spring fire buttons once again prove a disadvantage in measuring performance. i t's especially noticeable on shoot 'em ups were you need to constantly monitor your firing rate - with a leaf spring this is almost impossible"
