What are you talking about!?!

The Anniversary stick uses genuine HAPP arcade parts identical to the ones found in original CPSII Street Fighter II cabinets.

I'll agree that it isn't the best stick for shmups given that HAPP's parts are very springy in nature, but that doesn't disqualify the stick as a whole.

Does anyone know if the Spawn game and the Heavy Metal game are compatible with the joystick? Someone on craigslist happens to be selling the agetec one and I would like to buy it if I can play Spawn the way I did in the arcades.

I'd buy it even if it wasn't compatible as it's a damn nice stick.

Mmmm... I emailed him already. When I discovered the spawn game on dreamcast was the one I used to play at the Playdium in Metrotown vancouver, I got really excited. I played it and was saddened by how awful it felt to play with a controller. The agetec controller looks awesome...

There is one thing you have to keep in mind! It seems that the joystick only functions as the digital pad and not as the analog stick.

I already agreed to buy it. 15$. I'm holding back from frantically testing the dreamcast games to see which games used digital/analogue only.
