my pac-mania didn't come with the correct joystick (see pic) - this needs to be changed instantly!

it's hard to tell from the pac-mania pics on the net, but i guess that the original joystick was a black 4-way joystick with the atari logo on top ("gauntlet-style"), right? was it leaf or micro switch?

answers, please :)

and if someone has one for sale, i'm the man to talk to ... ;)

"looks to be" or IS?

and i can't tell from the manual whether it has the atari logo on top!

I thought some called them Atari Logo Joysticks for a reason?

I'm not an expert on them, but I thought all the Atari sticks like that had the Atari Logo on them.

The one I had was origional and it was the Atari logo stick with micros. I sold it to some one in Texas or Arizona. Cant remember...... Anyways If you need more info on it I could dig up the guys name and KLOV handle.


Your second pic is mine. I recognize the tear in the bezel and the garage door. Small world.

No, looks like that is the original. Mine came with the "Happ" style, and I have played another that had that same style. I assumed it was the original, I think I'm mistaken. Thanks for the info.
