The Kempston Joystick - 7 Directional controls



This was simply the joystick to get back then. The autofire button, the pilot type grip and the suction cups at the bottom. It just made games even better, well compared to using the "a","z", "op" and "space bar" keys. There were many Kempston joysticks but the best one was the Kempston Quickshot. In fact most of the games had to be Quickshot compatible to work.

If only they didn't break so quickly. Well, what I mean is the 8 directional movement became 7, then 8, then 7 again, then 7 and a half if I pushed it hard enough.

Still, what a grip!
