Looking for a Joystick
Normally I would suggest to everyone that they use keys (in both PC and Spectrum gaming), however my spectrum is hooked up to a 42" tv and being so close is a bit of an eye strain. So I'm looking for an interface 2 compatible joystick so i can do some couch gaming. Tried looking on the internet and it seems they're not easy to come by (at least not around the ?10 price tag I'm thinking of)
Does anyone have a spare that they'd be willing to flog me? I'm not bad at fixing things, so if you've got one that needs a repair that would be cool too.

You can make an easy converter to use any Atari-compatible joystick with it.
I made one yesterday. :rolleyes:
I have no Atari joysticks to use, but making an Atari adaptor sounds fun :) is there a little explanationy thing on how to do that?

Very easy to make one! I'm playing all the games with joystick now! Hehehe.
Just what I was looking for - shame Maplin didn't have the socket connector though when I went this afternoon.
Still, looks like I'll pick up all the bits via ebay for half the price Maplin were charging. They wanted almost ?2 just for a plug!
