The second one down (Quickshot) is the closest, to what I'm talking about.
I had a different model of that. It was actually called Quickshot II Flight stick.
I had a world record score on Gradius with it and I even had NES magazine post my score in there.

Yeah, that is definitely a flight stick.

Never had one for my Commodore 64. I had a ton of Atari 2600 controllers that I also used on my C64, which were definitely more akin to an arcade stick.

Especially with those simple control games of old though, there are so many options that work equally fine, and I suppose it most comes down to what you first learned on and became comfortable with.


I played most of those games like Gradius first in the arcades, and where I guess my affinity for arcade sticks with those types of games comes from my initial experiences with them, I have friends who first got those experiences on the NES that definitely prefer a d-pad.
