It’s like new. I guess I’ll have to start playing games now, does Solitaire support joysticks?

I think they’ve been making this exact model for like twenty years.

Sweet, it feels like a good design. It’s clean and unmarked and no finger cheese or palm grease anywhere.

Finger cheese? Like string cheese? In the shape of a finger? Don’t steal my idea!

Elite dangerous is also a great game I use it with. Double it with VR for maximum effect

That would be a game I would consider getting. I played the original Elite on my C64 back then…

I need a separate throttle to feel fully at peace, but I absolutely did find this exact joystick to play elite with while traveling. It’s pretty solid with enough buttons to get by.

Wow I was at a thrift store today and saw one as well. Much dirtier though.

I do get lucky regularly, sadly only in thrift stores, not in the other sense of the expression…

You should give MS Flight Sim 2000 a go with it. Total upgrade to the game, for 14 year old me.

Just be careful, it’s a slippery slope. Before you know it you’ll be taking a second mortage for HOTAS, instrument panels and DCS planes. I guess in a way I can thank this specific stick for financially ruining me… On second thought maybe just return it to the store.

Ah I did pick up a Flight Simulator X box on a previous thrift run, maybe I can try installing it on my Value Village HP Core I5 I picked up a few weeks ago.

I won’t be going full sim, but I did recently acquire a virpil set… Kind of sad that there’s no step in between the x-52/t-1600 and enthusiast gear, but honestly no regrets. Warbrd base with Cosmo cams is DELIGHTFUL.

I’ve hear only good things about virpil, they seem great. I have older VKB but it’s trucking. YUP no regrets. Much cheaper than maintaining a plane, lot easier and convenient to sim haha

I am pretty sure that minesweeper supports them.
