hah, no, i'm just quitting. it's nice getting good deals and hookups and the like but it's a second job for me and my actual job that pays me more than $8/hr is picking up so i gotta cut it. plus i will probably actually play more games spend less money in general if i live boring, 9-5 life.

Got something really similar to this from Aaron for around $10. One of those rareish Atari 5200 controllers. <3

Awww yeah. Been after this guy since
HG101 talked about it last year. Videogamepricecharts doesn't even have any listings for this funky Japanese import. This is the first copy I've even seen for sale anywhere.
Snagged for $11 plus shipping from a US shipper even.

Wait what!? I think you meant the Atari 2600. Nice Joystick, it also works on the Commodore 64.

Wow! Very very nice! I thought the
LSD game was weird, but I think this might be stranger.

no, what he got was similar in design to that controller, but definitely for the 5200. couldn't ever make out the brand, but it is the controller in this pic:

Found it! Looks like a good joystick, oh crap Gooseberry beat me to it!
http://www.atarihq.com/5200/sticks52.htmlCoin Controls took a similar approach with their
Competition Pro Joystick. This stick is much more solid and sturdy than the Atari or Wico sticks and has more of an arcade feel to it. Instead of a seperate Y-cable like the Wico, Coin Controls built the adapter into the actual joystick cable. This self-centering joystick featured 2 fire buttons and also required a working keypad from an Atari 5200 stick. It's a bit harder to find than the Wico stick.
