j/k Absolutely! Would use nothing else! I have to have the feel of the original arcade controls as best as possible. In fact, I use a excellent joystick controller that gives me the EXACT feeling of the arcade controls.(posted 9872 days ago)It just so happens to be my very own product I'm in the process of marketing! :) It's called the "Ultimate Joystick" and features a sturdy made aluminum box with 2 joysticks for Robotron, and 6-buttons for Defender and Stargate right in the middle!
My company's name is called "Custom Stixs" by Steve Krogman and the company is still pretty new (about 18 months). I have made about 6 of these so far from locals here in the states to as far as Germany! At the moment I had to unfortunately put a hold on processing orders because my job at Sega GameWorks is making me work close to 70 hrs a week in preparation for the grand opening in Miami on the 17th.
I also am in the process of redesigning the structure and production process of the Ultimate Joystick making it easier for me to make more at a faster rate with less the labor!
Regards, Steve Krogman
PS I'm hoping to finish 3 prototypes I'm currently working on at the moment. One will have a track ball and the other one will have a paddle in place of having 2 joysticks. The 3rd one will be a joystick just for Tron! The same type of joystick and paddle controller like the one used in the original arcade game!

Steve Krogman
