That you could use the joystick on the C=64 was a bonus...

Once I got the Epyx joystick, though, it was all over for the Epyx "... Games" series...
Yepper! Atari 2600 was the start for me too. I still have a C64 and a crap load of games in the closet both floppies for the 1541 diskdrive and cartridges, joysticks too. Bunch of old analog joysticks from my first PC's and even a functioning Amstrad 512 PC-20 a whopping 2 mhz? computer my first. I really need to clean out that stuff LOL. Off topic but wow when we went from RGB/CGA/EGA to VGA graphics
