After years of attempting to play 7800 games with the various arcade sticks made for other formats and being constantly faced with the non two button support i decided i was going to make my own, Inspired by some other forum members recent hacks of plug and play boxes i wanted to make a high quality arcade stick with good weight , Strong build and high quality components, I was thinking along the lines of Neo Geo joystick but for the beloved 7800 and also to keep within a design and finish that would make it look legit or so i think anyways.
I have an arcade background but have never attempted anything like this before and iv'e gotta say i'm really happy with the result, The arcade stick is machined from half inch polished acrylic which gives it a very robust and quality feel, the buttons and joystick are all Sanwa and i designed the graphics for the panel and had them professionally printed and finished.
I have two other designs in what im calling the ' Competition Series ' of joysticks one is a Pac-man themed and the other is Donkey kong both will borrow heavily from their arcade control designs and will both be for sale when finished, I haven't worked out a price yet but with this level of finish they aren't going to be too cheap but i will make and sell them for exactly what they cost me.
