Sega Saturn Style USB Joypad Review. I recently started playing a lot of retro games on my PC, and thought how much better it would feel to be playing on a proper controller from one of the old consoles. Scouring eBay and the web I came across a few, but the one I first chose […]

Competition Pro USB Joystick Review. Anyone remember joysticks? Nope. Call yourself retrogamers? Pah! Of course there are those sticks used for fighting games – but I am talking about old school – remember names like Cheetah’s Quickshot Pro, 125 and the Bug, the Zipstick (a favourite of mine), the Logic 3 Stingray pistol joystick (a […]
