I am a long time lover of Pac Land. Yesterday, I was inches away from buying a really nice one (ebay) when I suddenly realized that it had buttons (to run) instead of a joystick. I grew up in the UK (now live in US), and all the ones I played as a child had joysticks. I had never seen one with buttons until now, as I looked at a few others scattered around the internet/country I noted that they all had buttons, and the guy I was going to buy from said he had never seen one with a stick. Are there any with joysticks over here?
Even though I've decided that Pac Land without the stick just won't work for me, I can't get that lovely machine out of my head. I am wondering if it's atall possible to convert buttons to stick without breaking the bank? I wish money wasn't an issue, but I already have to factor in shipping the machine 1000 miles to me. Has anyone done this? Am I insane? Could I just buy parts and do it (I am as technically minded as my username might suggest, rodents are not best known for there electronic savvy)? Or should I just let this one go?
Thanks much in advance, and hi! I'm new, this is a very nice forum!
