There was no way I was going to pay $65+ for a two action button joystick anyway :D .

That's nothing more than an NES Advantage.

yeah; but just the fact that its NOS makes it a bit more exciting.

I was tempted, but when I saw that they were "ALL GONE", I suddenly *really* wanted one.

Oh well.

I can't wait to hear your impressions when you get it! It must have 1,000,000,000 X better feel than the TurboStick :).

Yep this is sure a must for the Neo Geo ports.  I have a six button NEC pad that works quite well though for fighters.

(http://www.neo-freak.com/stick.jpg)

the stick arrived yesterday; its pretty sweet. the thing i like about it is the size. i put my hand in the photo so you can see how small this thing. its also got a nice bit of weight to it with a metal backing and rubber feet. [doesnt slide around at all on the table] the stick rotates quietly and good feel to the buttons.

p.s. upon opening, the packaging had that nice musty old AES cart smell. i wish they sold that smell for your car.

Yea,I really don't understand why ANYONE would cough up the $60+ for this stick. Its plastic and rubber based which = worn out soon parts if heavy used. I don't touch any arcade sticks that don't use some kinda microswitch format or button format that can be easily replaced. These sticks that use rubber connector pads just suck over time. And 2 buttons....What the fuck man.... For the 60 bucks you coulda modded a AES stick or a Hori 6 button arcade stick for the Pc Engine instead....
