Atari 2600 Joystick of Choice?
You've seen my recent "Atari 2600 Controller Round-up" page, where I mentioned that the Jamma stick was my personal favorite.
So what is YOUR preferred joystick to use with the 2600?

The Boss wasn't mentioned in your round-up....
I have great memories of trading Van Halen II and Diver Down cassette tapes with a friend for this controller. I did take a while to reaclimate my brain to realize that the jump button was ONLY on the top..... While not exactly the 2600 thread...this is the controller I used to solve BRUCE LEE on the Commodore 64 with.
Honorable mention....to the GEMSTICK....it is only slighty uncomfortable and is easily adjustable to get used to after a short while. More importantly...along with cockroaches it will survive a nuclear war!!! Very, very durable!!!!!

if you find a nice one, seems to pay off in a big way. This brand of stick has gotten me, my best 2600 scores. So, I'd say the original one for me!

the best controller to use with the atari 2600 (and even the atari computer) is the sega Genesis Arcade Stick (Not the original one with a directional pad)
