Visited the Retro(game)computer fair in Apeldoorn today. Nice.
Did a LOT of talking with Sijmen (Mr.Atari,
http://www.mr-atari.com ) and he said the other "arcade guy" was also there.....turned out it was a certain Mr. CKONG
In fact, it was half of the CKONG I used to know
Well done Erik...
I didn't buy a lot...but did get 2 nice things:
One, another original "Atari Player On Board" sign for in the car
(the car felt naked without it !) and.....and I've wanted to have this for a LOOOOONG time:
I like it. It is small, it is simple, it is elegant and not TOO much "IN YOUR FACE". This is nice to wear....even on decent shirts.
It's a small pin. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I'll try to make a nice macro shot of it.
Sijmen also had one of the Suzo joysticks like Etienne has for sale....the first thing he mentioned was that the leafs of the buttons (not proper leafs) often break.....ouch.
All in all, (with all respect Etienne) this is likely the "worst" Suzo I've ever tried. Which means it's STILL one of the best sticks around though !!
There were loads of the single button version around, all excellent, but even there we discovered differences in button set-up. I told a couple of "sellers" there about the version I own and no-one had ever even heard about that there was one with leafs only....
I did also find another with leaf buttons (two) and micro-switches for the stick, but I already have one of those...the search continues
