Twenty-five years of the iconic joystick have come and gone. To celebrate, Speedlink have released a 25th anniversary edition of their competition pro joystick. The large-headed, heavy-based two button icon of the gaming world. They are a limited edition run with each being individually numbered (ours is 4540).
With the game comes 50 classic games, 25 Amiga titles and 25 Commodore-64 titles. The idea was that you would remember the days of yore when 8-bit graphics were coupled with 4-direction controls. Yet, the collection includes games that have no joystick controls whatsoever, like Defender of the Crown. Yes, it is absolutely an Amiga classic, but why would you package it with a joystick when it uses a mouse?
There are several other games just like that in fact, but that’s not to say there aren’t a load of games that are made specifically for the joystick because there are. Many of the C-64 games were unplayable with the joystick and lots of them simply didn’t work.
