My collection of joysticks and joypads Also known as controllers Did you waggle any of these back in the day, and how many did you break while furiously waggling them playing Daley Thompson's Decathalon? I broke a few of the C16 Plus/4 joysticks with their silly Mini DIN style connectors Or do you remember the hassle of connecting them to the Spectrum, did you have the Kempston, Cursor, or Sinclair interface?Or did you have one of the later Amstrad Speccys that didn't use the Atari standard despite using the same plug? Did the cable cause the interface to move slightly and disconnect itself causing a crash? Nightmare! There are 19 controllers in the museum
Google Stadia Premiere Edition
Free local pickup from FB Marketplace, can work as a Bluetooth controller if the device supports BT Low Energy. Which my Retropie PC doesn't!
Sega Mega Drive Arcade Power Stick
Bought from a Retro Gaming store in Wrexham for £15. Some haggling was involved
Joy Tech Jordan Grand Prix Wheel
Cheap wheel for a PS2, and despite looking like the gear lever has a lot of travel, it doesn't
Quickshot QS-135 for Sega Megadrive
Found in a box, can't remember where I got it from, it's for the Sega Megadrive/Genesis
The dark area
I hope you all find this as interesting and as nostalgic as I do.
And if you do, why not check out the next page in my retro museum... Desktops

Special thanks to my long-suffering partner Denise for putting up with all this "nonsense".
No cats were unnecessarily annoyed during the creation of this site
